info_outlineLearn how to harness your drive, sharpen focus, and break self-sabotage.
Some people are wired to push forward, question the norm, and never feel satisfied. Labeled as restless or impulsive, their traits may actually be strengths. This episode breaks down the “Driven” personality—why some thrive in uncertainty, crave challenge, and struggle with traditional structures, along with ways to avoid common pitfalls.
My guest today is Dr. Doug Brackmann, a psychologist with dual PhDs and author of Driven. He has spent his career helping elite performers overcome self-doubt and channel their energy into success. As the creator of the Driven Assessment and Shooting Meditation, Dr. Doug provides tools to help high achievers take control of their minds. In this conversation, he explains what it means to be Driven and how to stop working against yourself.
In this episode, you will:
- The “Driven” personality is a genetic trait found in high achievers, making them wired for challenge and innovation.
- Traditional systems often fail Driven individuals, leading to frustration and self-doubt.
- Driven people experience attention overload, processing more information but struggling with distraction.
- Their brains track multiple variables at once, making them great problem solvers in chaos.
- The feeling of “not enough” drives success but can also lead to burnout or self-sabotage.
- Meditation, when adapted for the Driven, improves focus and self-regulation.
- Mastering systems and processes leads to success, not chasing outcomes like money.
