Welcome. I'm Kevin Miller. This is a podcast for your personal evolution. In this episode,

a formula for peak performance with legendary performance researcher Stephen Kotler. I'm skeptical

of any claim of a quote formula regarding personal evolution. And you'll notice I say a formula, not the formula.

But many things can be boiled down to some core ingredients, to some essence.

The difference here, in my opinion, is this formula is less like a cooking recipe that you just easily mix and bake. It's more

like an intense formulaic math equation that you're going to have to diligently work out. I do feel

Stephen Kotler does a masterful job of deducing peak performance down into its essence. And

from it, you can see where you need to give

focus and attention and work. So Stephen, if you don't know him, he's a New York Times bestselling

author many times over, an award-winning journalist and the executive director of the Flow

Research Collective. He's one of the world's leading experts at this point on human performance

and has become very well known for his insight on flow state. So Stephen's authored multiple

bestsellers. I don't even know how many at this point, including the future is faster than you

think. He wrote that with Peter Diamondis,

stealing fire, the rise of Superman, and bold in abundance. His work has been nominated for two

Pulitzer Prizes and translated into over 40 languages at the time of this recording at least.

So the following conversation happened after he published a book called

The Art of Impossible. And I'm bringing it back to you because I think it's worth revisiting.

My core devotion is working with people on their personal evolution, often focusing in on their

purpose as it evolves and how to implement that

into their work or business. You can connect with me at Kevin Miller.co or email me,
