Welcome back to another episode of the Step It Up Entrepreneur podcast! I'm your host, Tomas Keenan, coming to you from my home office today due to some personal reasons and a recent move from Utah to Texas. Today, I'm thrilled to introduce a special guest, Dr. Doug Brackmann, a renowned expert with not one but two PhDs. Dr. Brackmann has dedicated his career to understanding the driven personality type, particularly among entrepreneurs, Navy SEALs, and athletes.
In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of being "driven." Dr. Brackmann shares his fascinating insights into how a unique brain structure can thrive on multiple stimuli and often present tendencies towards ADHD. He explains this through the hunter-farmer theory, highlighting how driven individuals frequently struggle with traditional education and boredom.
Throughout our conversation, we delve into the identity struggles driven people face, often leading to perfectionism and self-sabotage. Dr. Brackmann emphasizes the importance of meditation, particularly eye-open meditation tailored for driven people, and explains the metaphor of the "monkey mind" and "elephant body" to describe internal conflicts.
So, whether you consider yourself driven or you're looking to better understand the driven people in your life, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice. Let's dive in!
