In this special roundtable episode of Hold the Standard Podcast, host Logan Gelbrich is joined by three dynamic thinkers Carl Paoli (movement pioneer), Tait Fletcher (actor, entrepreneur, and former fighter), and Dr. Cara Miller (organizational psychologist and leadership coach) for a raw and revealing conversation about growth, resistance, and who we become in the process.
A roundtable of truth ensued!
What happens when high performers from radically different worlds come together to talk truth? You get a conversation that spans ego, vulnerability, mastery, and the ever-present tension between who you are and who you’re becoming.
Together, they explore:
- The invisible walls we build to protect ourselves from discomfort
- How leadership is less about power and more about responsibility
- What happens when you stop outsourcing your identity to external metrics
- The psychology of becoming versus achieving
- The real work of showing up in integrity in business, relationships, and life
This is not a highlight reel. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the inner lives of people who push themselves to the edge—and choose to keep going anyway.
