Performance Intelligence

You can’t control when the alarm will sound — but you can control how prepared your mind is when it does. In this bite size from episode 111, Firefighter and Station Officer Sam Monaghan breaks down the critical role of frontloading mental skills — training your mindset in calm environments so you're ready when high-stakes moments hit. 

Sam shares how lessons from finance, risk management, and years on the frontline have shaped his ability to stay composed under pressure. Whether you're fighting fires, leading teams, or navigating personal challenges — frontloading is the key to performance when it matters most.
