In one of the most vulnerable and expansive episodes of Hold The Standard, host Logan Gelbrich sits down with performance coach and former professional pitcher Harvey Martin for an unforgettable conversation on identity, anxiety, and the human condition.

Harvey opens up about the hidden chapters of his life—from a crippling fear of flying that nearly derailed his career to battling the yips on the pitcher’s mound. What unfolds is more than a story about baseball or performance—it’s a masterclass in self-awareness, resilience, and learning to breathe again, literally and metaphorically.

This episode dives deep into:

• The quiet spiral of anxiety and how it manifests in high achievers

• The power of exposure therapy, breathwork, and somatic awareness in healing trauma

• The paradox of chasing success only to find peace in surrender

• What it means to play life’s roles without becoming them

• The subtle art of tolerating the next step instead of conquering the entire staircase

Harvey’s journey from a gripped nervous system to global performance coach is one of pain, awakening, and rediscovery—told with raw honesty and philosophical clarity. If you’ve ever faced fear, burnout, or felt lost after a major life transition, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

This episode isn’t just about performance. It’s about remembering who you are—beneath all the roles you play.

In this episode of Hold The Standard, host Logan Gelbrich sits down with developmental psychologist, educator, and leadership coach Dr. Cara Miller for a transformative conversation about how we learn, grow, and lead. Together, they explore the journey from a socialized mind—where we follow external scripts and expectations—toward self-authorship, where we begin to write our own stories, make our own meaning, and lead with intention.

Dr. Miller shares powerful insights on:

• How traditional education and institutions reward conformity over curiosity

• The liberating shift from consuming knowledge to producing original thought

• The role of curiosity, commitment, and deliberate practice in developmental growth

• What it truly means to be a leader who can hold space for complexity, ambiguity, and transformation

• How to build organizations that prioritize learning, reflection, and conscious evolution

This episode will challenge your assumptions about learning, leadership, and identity—and offer a powerful framework for becoming the kind of person and leader who doesn’t just follow the rules, but knows when and how to rewrite them.
