You thought smart decisions came from logic and discipline.
But the smartest leaders? They reframe decisions before they make them.
Most leaders waste time treating every choice the same.
They miss the hidden cost of decision drag.
This episode flips the whole game.
You’ll see why elite leaders don’t just decide faster.
They decide cleaner.
Once you get this shift, you stop second-guessing. You stop dragging. You move with precision.
It’s like replacing your operating system with one built for speed. Without burning you out.
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.

This episode is for Founders/Execs who:

• Feel like they’re dragging, even when things look fine
• Lead high-stakes teams but second-guess silently
• Want to feel decisive again — without faking it
