EPISODE SUMMARY

What if the biggest thing holding you back from scaling your business isn't strategy — but your subconscious? In this episode of the Wired For Success podcast, Claudia Garbutt sits down with Stuart Wade, High Performance Mindset Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and four-time World Champion martial artist, to explore the hidden psychological and nervous system patterns that keep ambitious entrepreneurs stuck in pressure, self-doubt, and high-functioning burnout.

Stuart shares how subconscious programming shapes performance, why high-achievers often sabotage their next level right as success gets close, and what it really takes to build a million-dollar business without sacrificing your health, relationships, or happiness.

We talked about...

• Fear-driven ambition vs. aspirational drive (and how to shift)

• Healthy obsession vs. self-destructive pressure: how to spot it early

• What happens in the brain + nervous system during clinical hypnotherapy

Stuart Wade is a High Performance Mindset Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and lifelong martial artist with a bold vision—to elevate human potential at the highest levels in order to create lasting, global change.

EPISODE NOTES

From a shy six-year-old boy inspired by Bruce Lee to a 5th Dan Blackbelt in Taekwondo, 2nd Dan in Kickboxing, and four-time World Champion, Stuart's journey has been anything but ordinary. At just eight, he failed his first Blackbelt test. That failure became a defining moment—igniting a relentless drive for mastery that would shape the rest of his life.

His early discovery of visualisation at 16 years of age, transformed his performance and sparked a lifelong obsession with the power of the subconscious mind. But it wasn't until he encountered clinical hypnotherapy during a low point in his competitive career—when fear and fatigue were eroding his edge—that everything changed. That single breakthrough led to advanced studies with Paul McKenna and Dr. Richard Bandler, and over a decade of work helping elite performers break mental barriers and transform from the inside out.

Today, Stuart works with business leaders, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives and world-class athletes- high-achieving men who, despite their external success, often battle self-doubt, inner pressure, and a persistent sense that something is still missing. Stuart believes real change starts at the top. By working with leaders who influence thousands—if not millions—he aims to raise the collective consciousness and inspire a top-down evolution: one where innovation, unity, and compassion drive us toward a future free from poverty, inequality, and division. A future where human potential is fully realized - not just for personal gain, but for the betterment of the world. His mission is clear: to help those at the top unlock their fullest potential—so they can lead with clarity, live with purpose, and create impact that truly matters.

EPISODE SUMMARY

What happens when a lifelong technologist who helped build the early internet now leads the AI revolution in digital marketing? In this episode, I talk with Dave Parkhurst, founder of GreenHaven Interactive, one of the first full-service digital agencies in the Pacific Northwest.

Dave shares how he went from his days at Apple to helping companies blend AI-driven SEO with genuine human storytelling — without burning out their teams or losing their purpose. We explore the future of AI marketing and the art of building trust in a machine world.

We talked about…

... How AI is changing SEO & marketing

... Lessons from past tech revolutions

... Why the human voice matters in an AI-driven world

EPISODE NOTES

A serial entrepreneur and life long technologist, Dave Parkhurst spent much of his early career with Apple. In the early 90s, when the commercial internet was emerging, Dave saw an opportunity and so started GreenHaven Interactive to see if there was money to be made on the web.

Apple was gracious in not minding if team members had side gigs, so GreenHaven grew from website development into a one of the first full service digital marketing agencies in the northwest. When Dave left Apple in 2006, GreenHaven began expanding its offerings and team. Now the company is a leading SEO and digital lead generation and marketing firm with 15 people, growing rapidly.
