  • Fueling Under Pressure: Why Your Brain Needs More Than Willpower

    Fueling Under Pressure: Why Your Brain Needs More Than Willpower
    2026/09/17
    What if your afternoon brain fog, poor focus, or bad decision-making isn’t a motivation problem at all?It might be a fueling problem.In this episode of Be Undaunted, Tara Collingwood and George Dom explore an often-overlooked component of high performance: nutrition and hydration.As a sports dietitian who has worked with professional and elite athletes, Tara has seen firsthand what happens when incredibly talented people fail to fuel properly. Athletes can fall apart late in competition not because they lack skill or mental toughness, but because their bodies simply don’t have enough fuel or fluid left to perform at their best.And the same thing happens in the boardroom.You may not be playing a five-set tennis match or pulling Gs in a fighter jet, but your brain still requires energy. That means the lunch you skipped, the water you forgot to drink, and the third cup of coffee you grabbed to compensate may be affecting your performance more than you realize.Tara and George discuss how nutrition and hydration influence concentration, reaction time, energy, judgment, and our ability to perform under pressure. George shares how fighter pilots sometimes deliberately limit fluids before long missions—and why dehydration can become a serious performance issue when you’re operating an aircraft under extreme G-forces.The conversation also tackles one of Tara’s biggest nutrition messages: stop being afraid of carbohydrates.Carbohydrates are a primary source of energy for the body and are especially important when we’re asking our brains and muscles to perform. Protein matters too, particularly for maintaining and repairing muscle, but you don’t have to sprint out of the gym and immediately down a protein shake. What matters more is getting adequate protein throughout the day.And then there are the everyday habits that quietly sabotage performance: skipping breakfast, working through lunch, relying on caffeine for energy, and waiting until you’re thirsty to start thinking about hydration.The solution doesn’t have to be complicated.Tara shares three fundamentals for fueling high performance:1. Stop skipping meals.Your body and brain need energy. A busy schedule isn’t a reason to ignore lunch—it’s a reason to plan for it.2. Don’t rely on caffeine to manufacture energy.Coffee can absolutely be part of your day, but caffeine shouldn’t be the solution every time your energy dips.3. Hydrate consistently.Don’t wait until the end of the day and try to make up for everything you didn’t drink. Build hydration into your routine throughout the day.Ultimately, high performance isn’t just about mindset.It’s about giving your body and brain what they need so your training, preparation, leadership skills, and mental toughness can actually show up when the pressure is on.In This Episode· Why even elite athletes sometimes fail to fuel properly· What fighter pilots and professional athletes have in common· How hydration affects concentration, reaction time, and performance· Why busy professionals shouldn’t ignore mild dehydration· The connection between blood sugar, brain function, and decision-making· Why skipping breakfast or lunch can come back to haunt you later· How to fuel before a high-pressure event· Why athletes practice their competition-day nutrition· Why carbohydrates aren’t the enemy· What really matters about protein timing· Why sodium matters for athletes who sweat heavily· The problem with using caffeine as a substitute for energy· How late-day caffeine can interfere with recovery and sleep· Why consistent hydration beats chugging water at the end of the day· How preparation makes healthy eating dramatically easier· Why leaders should treat themselves more like athletes· George’s memorable Blue Angels advice about eating bananas before flying!Key TakeawaysYour brain needs fuel, too.Focus, judgment, concentration, and decision-making aren’t separate from your physical health.Treat high-pressure moments like game day.Whether it’s a competition, presentation, difficult conversation, or major decision, prepare your body as deliberately as you prepare your strategy.Don’t skip meals because you’re “too busy.”Taking a few minutes to eat may make you significantly more productive for the hours that follow.Carbohydrates are energy—not the enemy.Quality carbohydrates help fuel both physical and mental performance.Protein timing doesn’t have to be perfect.Focus on getting adequate protein and distributing it throughout your day rather than obsessing about a tiny post-workout window.Don’t use caffeine to cover up poor recovery habits.Before automatically reaching for another coffee, consider whether you actually need food, water, movement, or rest.Hydration is an all-day habit.Instead ...

  • From Top Gun to CEO: Leadership Lessons from Rolland “RC” Thompson

    From Top Gun to CEO: Leadership Lessons from Rolland “RC” Thompson
    2026/09/03
    From Top Gun to CEO: Leadership Lessons from Rolland “RC” ThompsonWhat does it take to remain undaunted through combat missions, leadership crises, entrepreneurial setbacks—and even quadruple bypass surgery?In this episode of Be Undaunted, Tara Collingwood and George Dom sit down with Rolland “RC” Thompson, founder and CEO of Tactical Air Support and a former Navy fighter pilot, Top Gun instructor and commanding officer, and air wing commander.RC’s extraordinary career began when he became an Army helicopter pilot at just 19 years old. He later transitioned to the Navy, flew strike fighters from aircraft carriers, attended Top Gun and returned as an instructor, commanded an F-18 squadron, and eventually returned to Top Gun as its commanding officer. His final operational tour included leading some of the first strike missions into Afghanistan following 9/11.But this conversation goes far beyond fighter jets.RC shares the leadership lessons he learned when the stakes were literally life and death—and how he later applied those lessons to building Tactical Air Support from an idea in an MBA class into a thriving company employing hundreds of people, many of them veterans.One of his most powerful lessons came early in his career: live in the minute.Instead of carrying yesterday’s mistakes or worrying about tomorrow’s outcome, RC learned to focus on what needed to be done right now. Decades later, that philosophy remains at the heart of what it means to him to live undaunted.The conversation also explores the difference between courage and recklessness. RC describes leadership as creating “guardrails” rather than rigid lanes—giving people enough freedom to think, take ownership, solve problems, and seize opportunities without crossing the boundaries that keep the organization safe.When RC became a squadron commander, a serious aircraft accident taught him another unforgettable lesson: the leader is the culture. In moments of uncertainty, people look to the leader to determine how they should respond. Culture isn't simply something an organization talks about; leaders shape it through their actions, expectations, decisions, and example.RC carried that philosophy into Tactical Air Support, where he focused on three things people need to thrive: connection, purpose, and growth. His experience reinforced something many organizations overlook: people don't simply leave jobs—they often leave bosses. Developing leaders, therefore, isn't optional. It's fundamental to creating a high-trust, high-performing culture.RC also shares the unlikely story behind starting TAC Air—and the fortune cookie that arrived just when he was ready to quit:“The temptation to quit is strongest just before success.”The following week, the company landed its first contract.Perhaps one of the biggest themes of the conversation is RC's approach to adversity. He doesn't categorize information as good news or bad news. It's simply news. The question is what you do with it.That mindset was tested personally when RC—despite being extremely fit and competing in CrossFit—learned he had four major coronary blockages and needed quadruple bypass surgery. The experience reinforced his belief that while we can't control everything that happens to us, we can control the mindset and actions we bring to what happens next.And RC leaves us with a challenge:Comfort and routine can become some of the biggest impediments to success and a good life. Push yourself. Stretch yourself. Get uncomfortable.Because ultimately, being undaunted isn't about knowing everything will work out.It's about doing everything you can today—and then detaching yourself from the outcome.In This EpisodeHow RC became an Army helicopter pilot at just 19What Top Gun is really like compared with the moviesWhy preparation and repetition create excellenceThe difference between courage and recklessnessWhy great leaders give people guardrails instead of lanesThe moment RC realized, “You are the culture”Why high-performing organizations need connection, purpose, and growthWhy organizations should focus on getting the best out of people—not simply hiring “the best”How strong teams can outperform more talented individualsThe unlikely MBA assignment that became Tactical Air SupportThe fortune cookie that convinced RC not to quitHow to see opportunity inside adversityWhy RC refuses to label information “good news” or “bad news”How quadruple bypass surgery challenged his ideas about controlThe difference between a victim mindset and a hero mindsetRC’s emotional story of carrying a flag recovered from the World Trade Center into combat over AfghanistanWhy living in the present is central to becoming undauntedHow comfort and routine can quietly hold us backKey TakeawaysLive in the minute.Don't let yesterday's mistakes or tomorrow's uncertainty steal your ability to execute today.Create guardrails, not lanes.Give people room to ...

  • Earned Resilient Confidence

    Earned Resilient Confidence
    2026/08/20
    What does real confidence actually look like — and where does it come from? In this host-only conversation, George and Tara dig into a concept George has been developing: “earned resilient confidence.” Not arrogance, not bravado, and not the belief that everything will go according to plan — but a confidence built through preparation, tested by setbacks, and able to bounce back when things don’t go your way. They talk about the “confidence bar,” why humility is the keyhole that unlocks healthy confidence, how fear distorts our stories about an uncertain future, why great training is really about building confidence (not just competence), and how to rebuild confidence after a real setback — plus a two-question challenge to close it out. What We Cover (00:16) Why George wanted to talk about confidence — not arrogance, not bravado, not certainty of outcome(00:40) From a blog about humility to a human-performance interview that sparked this topic (link below)(01:10) Introducing the concept: “earned resilient confidence”(02:10) Tara’s take: confidence from preparation and repetition, resilience from knowing “I’ll be okay” and adapt when things don’t go as planned(03:11) The key reframe: “I’m confident I’ll adapt,” not “I’m confident I’ll succeed”(03:40) Confidence as a personality trait vs. confidence in your actual ability to do something(04:09) Confidence isn’t binary — it’s analog, and you “gradually crank up the dial”(04:46) The leader’s job: finding the right level of challenge (too easy = no growth, too hard = damaged confidence)(05:20) Tara on progressive overload in athletic training as a model for building confidence step by step(05:27) George’s “confidence bar” concept — setting the bar just beyond demonstrated capability(06:51) Tara’s examples: qualifying through the tennis ranking system to reach Grand Slams, and qualifying for the Boston Marathon(08:00) “The will to prepare to win” — and how humility keeps confidence from going off the rails(08:30) George’s line: “Confidence is unlocked through the keyhole of humility”(09:32) Tara’s nutrition-world example: when elite athletes with youth and genetics on their side start skipping the fundamentals(10:26) Where confidence really gets tested: uncertainty, catastrophizing, and where “choking” comes from(11:20) Tara’s story about a junior tennis player convinced he was injured before a Grand Slam match — and his coach’s blunt, effective response(12:36) Red-teaming plans in military aviation: converting fear-based uncertainty into manageable uncertainty(14:01) The naval aviation saying: “Train like you’ll fight, then fight like you trained”(14:15) “Borrowing confidence” from a leader, coach, or teammate you trust(15:13) Tara’s Ted Lasso “Believe” reference, and why you should fuel/train exactly as you plan to compete(16:26) George on holding young wingmen to the same standard in training and in real missions(17:16) Why training that goes perfectly every time can actually build fragile confidence(18:45) The story we tell ourselves — and each other, as a team — after a setback(19:50) Tara on parenting and letting people fall (safely) so they can learn(20:19) Learner vs. judger: “I failed, why?” vs. “I failed, therefore I’m a failure”(21:15) How a “judger” mindset can lead to covering up mistakes instead of learning from them(22:15) Rebuilding confidence after a real hit — the military-to-civilian transition, and losing streaks(22:36) Why the instinct to prove yourself in one big swing is usually the wrong move(22:36) Temporarily lowering the confidence bar (not the standard) to rack up small, real wins(23:03) Tara’s Michael Jordan story — cut from his high school team, went on to become the GOAT(24:30) Closing takeaways from both hosts(25:58) George’s challenge to listeners — two questions to ask yourself Notable Quotes “I’m confident I’ll adapt.” — George Dom, reframing what confidence really means “Confidence is unlocked through the keyhole of humility… Confidence allows us to act, humility allows us to see.” — George Dom “So is the other guy. Get out there and do it.” — the coach’s response to a nervous junior tennis player, as told by Tara Collingwood “Train like you’ll fight, then fight like you trained.” — naval aviation saying, shared by George Dom “Lower the bar, but you’re not lowering the standard.” — George Dom, on rebuilding confidence after a setback The Challenge George closes the episode with two questions for listeners: Where do you need more confidence — in one area of your life, or on a team you lead?What is the right work you need to do now to earn the confidence and resilience to be undaunted? “Being undaunted doesn’t mean believing nothing will go wrong. It means doing the work, facing reality with humility, and trusting yourself and the people ...
