No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
On today’s episode of No Days Off, we’re diving into a mindset that can change the trajectory of your life: the Possible Mindset. This concept was introduced to me by my friend Colin O’Brady, world record holding endurance athlete, mountaineer, and the first person to cross Antarctica solo and unsupported.

Colin’s idea of the Possible Mindset is simple but powerful: focus on...

642. Stability Starts With You
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
Stability isn’t a political talking point, it’s a leadership principle. At the All In Summit in LA, I heard a line that stopped me in my tracks: “If the United States wants stability in the world, it must first be stable at home.” That truth doesn’t just apply to nations. It applies to you as a leader. If you’re chaotic, reactive, or inconsistent, your business will reflect that. But if you’re steady, grounded, and disciplined, your team will follow suit. In this episode, I break down eight tactical ways to build stability at your core; anchoring in daily routines, cleaning up...

640. How to Build Hardiness and Make Stress Work for You
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
Stress isn’t going anywhere. You can’t buy it off, out-hustle it, or schedule it away. But here’s the truth: while some people break under stress, others sharpen. Same pressure, different outcome. Back in the late 1970s, psychologist Suzanne Kobasa studied why, and she discovered it wasn’t genetics, IQ, or luck. It was mindset. She called it hardiness, a way of viewing stress as fuel instead of fire. And it came down to three attitudes: Commitment. Control. Challenge. In today’s episode, I break down Kobasa’s three C’s and give you practical ways to build hardiness into your...

639. How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything
No Days Off with Brian Gubernick
We’ve all heard the phrase: how you do anything is how you do everything. It’s been tossed around in locker rooms, boardrooms, and leadership meetings so often that it risks becoming just another motivational bumper sticker. But this principle runs deeper than most people realize, it’s a blueprint for identity. In this episode, Brian breaks down the true meaning behind the phrase, tracing its roots from the Stoics to Navy SEALs to Joe DiMaggio, and then shows how it plays out in real life. Whether it’s sloppy CRM notes, showing up late to small meetings, or cutting corners on a...
