What does it really mean to be “driven”?
In this episode of The Mike Method, Mike Desjardins sits down with Dr. Doug Brackman, a psychologist, ultra-endurance athlete, and author of Driven. Doug brings both academic expertise and lived experience, sharing insights from his own journey and two decades of work with elite performers, entrepreneurs, Navy SEALs, and world-class athletes.
Together, Mike and Doug explore the unique wiring of driven individuals, the pull toward chaos and innovation, and the hidden costs that often come with intensity and ambition. They dig into the neuroscience of drive, why the world feels designed for farmers but breakthroughs are born from hunters, and how to transform that restless energy into a force for purpose and impact.
Along the way, they cover:
- Shame, imposter syndrome, and the myth of normal
- Founder syndrome and the loneliness of visionary leaders
- Building trust and finding your “Wolfpack”
- How to reframe what feels like a burden into a gift
If you’ve ever asked yourself, Why am I like this?, or wondered how to channel your energy into something meaningful without burning out, this conversation will give you new language, perspective, and tools to work with.
