The Outperform Show is for professionals and founders who have to perform better—consistently—under pressure, volatility, and overload.Hosted by Martin Soorjoo, performance coach to professionals and founders, each episode delivers a practical operating system for modern work: state control, performance under pressure, strategic recharge, and real-world adaptability—so you don't just cope with the storm… you become harder to break and better at responding.This isn't motivation or "wellness." It's protocols, frameworks, and pressure-tested routines you can run in minutes—before the meeting, during the crisis week, after the hit, and when your nervous system is burning fuel too fast.Expect clear thinking, hard truths, and tools that help you build resilience as baseline and antifragility as the edge—the ability to get stronger from stress when it's applied with the right dose, recovery, and learning.
