You thought success would kill your doubt. It didn’t. It scaled it.

Every hour you hesitate costs thousands — sometimes millions — in burned payroll, lost deals, and silent trust leaks.

If you’ve ever stared at a big decision and felt frozen, this episode is for you. I’ve been there. My clients have been there.

In it, you’ll hear why doubt doesn’t disappear when you “make it”… and how to stop it from bleeding your business dry.

There are only two kinds of founders:

  • Pretenders — wait for certainty, lose speed, and watch opportunities pass.
  • Weaponizers — use doubt as a signal to act fast, learn faster, and win while others stall.

This episode shows you how to join the second group — making fast, high-quality calls without burning time, money, or momentum.

About the Podcast
Built for high-performers who don’t need help. 
Just leverage.
This is the show that breaks what quietly kills performance at scale. 
Especially the mental patterns slowing down even the smartest founders.
If you never want to get dragged down by pressure, burnout, or hesitation… welcome home.
Hosted by doctor of psychology and executive coach Dr. Yishai Barkhordari. 

Inside the Episode

  • Why insecurity and doubt don’t go away
  • The hidden “hesitation tax” draining $60K+ while you wait to decide
  • How elite operators flip doubt into a competitive edge
  • The simple loop that makes hard calls obvious in minutes, not months
  • The binary choice that separates fast-lane founders from stalled pretenders

This episode is for Founders and Execs who…

  • Have wins, but still feel doubt or insecurity
  • Make big moves but second-guess while doing it
  • Feel hesitation creeping in before high-stakes decisions
  • Want their edge back so competitors stop stealing the win
