Outperform the Storm is for high achievers who are still performing — but no longer from full capacity. Under sustained pressure, your thinking slows, your focus fragments, your patience drops and your recovery never feels complete. You're still functioning, but the edge is harder to access. That's Shadow Burnout: performing while quietly depleted. Hosted by Martin Soorjoo — performance coach for past 16 years, former human rights barrister 15 yrs, and PE backed startup co-founder— this show gives you practical, research-backed ways to stay sharp, recharge properly and perform under pressure without burning out. This is not motivation, wellness or another productivity hack. It is a performance operating system for pressure, overload and uncertainty — combining nervous-system regulation, upgraded cognition, mental performance, strategic recharge and antifragility. Expect clear thinking, hard truths and practical protocols you can use before the meeting, during the crisis week, after the hit, when your cognition is fried, and when your nervous system is burning fuel too fast. Stay sharp. Recharge before the crash. Perform when it matters.
