In this enlightening episode of Flow Research Collective Radio, host Ryan Wilkes, Chief of Staff at FRC, joins forces with Steven Kotler, Executive Director of Flow Research Collective, to engage in a profound discussion with Dr. Michael Gervais, a world-renowned high-performance psychologist. The conversation delves into the intricate relationship between personal identity and performance, shedding light on how individuals and organizations can transcend traditional paradigms of success. Dr. Gervais, whose expertise spans across various high-performance domains, shares invaluable insights from his new book, "The First Rule of Mastery: Stop Worrying About What People Think of You". He explores the concept of 'performance identity', illustrating how societal pressures often tether our sense of self-worth to our achievements. Kotler and Gervais candidly discuss their personal journeys, revealing how they navigated the challenging waters of professional and personal expectations. A key focus of the episode is the transformative power of purpose-driven identity. Dr. Gervais emphasizes that true mastery and fulfillment stem not from external validation but from aligning one’s actions with deeper, intrinsic values. This shift from performance-based to purpose-based living, although challenging, paves the way for more authentic and sustainable success. Listeners are treated to a rich tapestry of anecdotes, scientific insights, and practical wisdom. The episode does more than just inform; it invites a reevaluation of one’s approach to performance, success, and life.

| 22 Apr 2025 | Flow vs. the Victim Mindset: Trade Blame for Breakthroughs | 01:02:43 | |
No one is coming to save you—but staying stuck isn’t the only option. Steven Kotler and Ryan Wickes welcome back Columbia professor and humanistic psychologist Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman—author of the just-released Rise Above, and one of today’s leading voices on human potential. Kaufman joins to unpack the victim mindset, the neurobiology of agency, and how narcissism, entitlement, and impostor syndrome can quietly block the path to self-actualization. At the heart of this conversation is a powerful truth: flow demands agency. When we feel powerless, we avoid challenge—and without challenge, there is no flow. A victim mindset disrupts the neural circuitry behind motivation, focus, and drive. This episode breaks down the science of that disruption—and maps out a way through. From learned helplessness to learned hopefulness, you’ll hear how reclaiming agency reactivates your growth, unlocks flow, and strengthens resilience. The journey is personal. The tools are universal.
Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman is a humanistic psychologist, Columbia University professor, and one of the world’s leading experts on intelligence, creativity, and human potential. Ranked in the top 1% of most-cited scientists worldwide, he’s the founder of Self-Actualization Coaching, director of the Center for Human Potential, and host of The Psychology Podcast (30M+ downloads). Named one of Business Insider’s 50 groundbreaking scientists, he’s authored 11 books—including Transcend, Choose Growth, and his latest, Rise Above. In This Episode: 03:03 The Journey from Creativity to Self-Actualization 06:07 Overcoming the Victim Mindset 09:07 Neurobiology of Mindsets 15:06 Understanding the Victim Mindset 17:53 Evolutionary Perspectives on Victimhood 20:53 Empathy and Honest Love 25:29 Empowerment Through Adversity 28:39 Challenging the Trauma Narrative 32:39 Navigating the Victim Mindset 45:12 Imposter Syndrome: A Signal for Growth 52:08 Narcissism and Wellbeing Episode Resources: Self-Actualizing People in the 21st Century by Scott Barry Kaufman A modern, data-driven update to Maslow’s theory—complete with a validated scale and new insights into well-being, resilience, and creative expression.

| 03 Sep 2024 | Breathwork and Flow: How Breathing Prepares the Brain and Body for Peak Performance | 00:59:20 | |
In this episode of Flow Radio, we explore the intricate science of breathing with Dr. Jack Feldman, a world-renowned neuroscientist. Dr. Feldman, a professor at UCLA, has spent decades uncovering the secrets of how our brains control this vital function. His pioneering research has led to groundbreaking discoveries, such as identifying and naming a key brain area responsible for breathing rhythms. Tune in as Dr. Feldman, along with bestselling author Steven Kotler and Dr. Michael Mannino, break down:
Whether you’re curious about the science of breathing or looking for ways to improve your life, this episode is full of easy-to-understand insights and practical tips. In This Episode: 00:02 Introducing a Legend 03:32 Evolution of Breathing in Mammals 07:41 The Role of the Diaphragm in Breathing 10:58 Understanding Sighs: A Physiological and Emotional Perspective 15:21 The Evolutionary Advantage of Calming Sighs 19:00 Breathing Rhythms and Brain Function 22:27 Disrupting Neural Circuits for Mental Health 25:45 Breathwork and Synaptic Plasticity 30:55 The Connection Between Endorphins and Breathwork 42:05 The Link Between Breathing and Flow States About The Guest: Jack Feldman revolutionized our understanding of basic physiological processes controlled by the brain by identifying and characterizing brain sites critical for breathing. He discovered two discrete brain structures critical for regulating breathing. Combining cutting edge techniques, development of new experimental preparations, and expertise in a range of disciplines, Jack identified several critical breathing functions originating in these brain areas including generation of inspiratory (i.e., inhaling) and expiratory (i.e., exhaling) patterns for normal breathing and for sighing. Most recently, Jack and his colleagues investigated mechanisms by which changes in breathing patterns (e.g., breathing practice) can affect emotion and cognition. His research continues to explore how the brain controls breathing, paving the way for further clinically relevant discoveries of mechanisms underlying breathing-related diseases, including sleep apnea, neurodegenerative diseases, and the positive effects of breathing practice on emotion. Jack is a recipient of the Hodgkin Huxley Katz Prize, the 125th Faculty Research Lecture UCLA, and the National Institutes of Health Outstanding Investigator Award in 2017 and 2023.

"I believe inspiration is when we see something in others that we don’t think we can do ourselves or we can’t comprehend how we would do it… We just don’t know the strength we have within us to cope with incredible things." ~ Dr. Karen Darke
ABOUT THE GUEST:
Dr. Karen Darke MBE, MA, Ph.D. Karen’s purpose is to support people in transforming a challenge into an opportunity. With a deep understanding and lived experience of how trauma and life events can create stress, fear, and dis-ease, Karen has a passion for helping people move beyond perceived limitations towards expansive possibility.
“Ability is a state of mind not a state of body” infuses Karen’s approach. A climbing accident that resulted in paraplegia led her away from studying gold as a ‘rock-doctor’ into becoming a ‘mind miner’, exploring experientially how we can learn to be our own alchemist and transform the ‘mud’ of life to discover ‘inner gold’. Karen likes to shine a light on the meaning of challenge and on the limitless possibilities of the human spirit, enhancing performance, wellbeing, and meaningful contribution to the connected web of the world.
Exploring the boundaries of what is possible is something Karen has personally embraced. Her curiosity for what it takes to overcome self-doubt, face fear, and step-up performance has led her to her own experiments in high-performance sport and also in pushing the boundaries of adaptive adventure exploration. She becameParalympic hand-cycling champion (Rio 2016), World Champion in Paratriathlon, a silver medalist in her first Paralympic games (London 2012), and is the Guinness World Record holder for land speed by arm power, each time requiring deep engagement with her intrinsic motivational stack. She has also sit-skied across Greenland, sea kayaked at extreme latitudes of the planet, handcycle across the world's big mountain ranges and with coastlines and rivers of all the continents. These experiences combined with unique studies of the mind, resilience, and performance have led to helping people view life as an adventure, and to embrace all its’ experiences as opportunities to learn and grow.
Whilst hand-cycling and adventurous journeys are Karen’s primary flow activities, coaching and expanding possibilities for others is her second. She is fascinated with the power of the mind and language to positively impact emotions; improving presence, performance, and possibility. Much of her spare time is leading Quest 79, a community-focused organization with the aim of creating and supporting inspirational projects that connect people and communities to enhance inner gold and possibility.
Karen has an MBE, a Ph.D. in Earth Science, an MA in Development Training, and a second MA in High-Performance Coaching, and Diplomas in Clinical & PastoralCounselling, Hypnotherapy & Motivational Coaching. She has been awarded honorary doctorates from The University of Aberdeen, Leeds, Cumbria, Sheffield Hallam, and Abertay Universities, in recognition of her contributions to adventure and high-performance sport. She has written three biographical-based books about overcoming challenges, facing fear, and positive psychology tips for achieving surprising things: If You Fall; Boundless; Quest 79: Find Your Inner Gold.

"ADHD folks make lots of Theta, they can see the solution or the elegant thing or jump over the linear into the insightful and the creative, and they are very good at that. Not so good at sinking into the sweet spot, where the arousal level, the creativity level, the focus level, and the activation level are all dialed in perfectly and you have control over a present set of resources. Because that requires internal maintenance in some way, you have to keep yourself in a zone, in a mode. That’s hard to do." ~ Dr. Andrew HillABOUT THE GUEST:

Nick is a clinical psychologist, writer, teacher, and podcaster. Everything he write about comes down to one big principle: Emotional health comes from good habits, not just nice ideas. In the same way that the body relies on healthy habits and exercise to stay fit and strong, emotional health depends on good habits of mind. It’s popular to talk about emotional intelligence but what Nick is really interested in is emotional fitness.
Nick did his doctoral training in clinical psychology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Prior to that, Nick earned his Master’s in Social Sciences from the University of Chicago and a Bachelor’s in English Literature from the University of Dallas.
He is board certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology, a Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, as well as a member of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.

"Friendships can be a strong facilitator of flow. But it depends how we navigate those friendships and what we do… There are ways in which time with friends can massively enhance flow. Identify the healthy activities in which you become most absorbed and most utilize your character strengths and look for opportunities to do those with people you have relationships with." ~ Jonathan Beale

“Most of us have parts that are living as if that bad thing that was happening then is still happening to us. Beliefs and emotions that I call burdens that came into them from the trauma. And now, they are attached to these parts and drive the way they operate, almost like a virus.” ~ Dr. Richard Schwartz

TODAY´S GUEST
Richard Schwartz began his career as a family therapist and an academic at the University of Illinois at Chicago. There he discovered that family therapy alone did not achieve full symptom relief and in asking patients why he learned that they were plagued by what they called “parts”. These patients became his teachers as they described how their parts formed networks of inner relationships that resembled the families he had been working with. He also found that as they focused on and, thereby, separated from their parts, they would shift into a state characterized by qualities like curiosity, calm, confidence, and compassion. He called that inner essence the Self and was amazed to find it even in severely diagnosed and traumatized patients. From these explorations, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model was born in the early 1980s.
IFS is now evidence-based and has become a widely-used form of psychotherapy, particularly with trauma. It provides a non-pathologizing, optimistic, and empowering perspective and a practical and effective set of techniques for working with individuals, couples, families, and more recently, corporations and classrooms.
In 2013 Schwartz left the Chicago area and now lives in Brookline, MA where he is on the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

"In a sense the pursuit of happiness and meaning, purpose, the way it gets framed out from a practical perspective sounds selfish. What it does to the human being along the way actually isn’t completely unselfish. It sort of turns you into the person deserving of that meaning and that purpose. It’s a process of becoming." ~ Steven Kotler
