Most leaders end the day exhausted — but the problem is rarely how much they worked. It is the state they were in while doing it. In this episode, Dr. James Bryant sits down with Deri Llewellyn-Davies, a former chemical engineer who has spent decades studying peak performance in extreme sport and the boardroom. Deri introduces the six ultra states — including flow, recovery, and ultra connect — and breaks down exactly what it takes to access them intentionally. If you have ever felt like your best work is just out of reach, this conversation will change how you think about your performance, your energy, and your presence as a leader.
