  • The Habits That Destroy Hockey Careers Before They Start | Robert Mazin | Ep. 468

    The Habits That Destroy Hockey Careers Before They Start | Robert Mazin | Ep. 468
    2026/04/06

    Most hockey players don't lose their career to injury.

    They lose it to the weekend.

    The party. The girls. The phone. The slow drift away from the one window they were ever going to get.

    Robert Mazin left Latvia at 15 with no agent, no mentor, no roadmap. He found his way through hockey programs across three continents and watched hundreds of players blow their shot from the inside out. Now he runs 369 Sports and Entertainment and spends his life making sure young athletes don't make the same mistakes.

    In this episode we talk about what actually separates the players who make it from the ones who don't. It has nothing to do with talent. It never did.

    We talk about the window. Why 16 is the moment everything either locks in or falls apart. What happens to a young man's brain and body when discipline disappears. The death that comes when sports ends and there's nothing left to hold onto. And what breathwork and emotional fitness have to do with any of it.

    This is the conversation the locker room never had.

    For the players. For the parents. For the coaches who know something is missing but can't name it.

  • Why Healing Isn’t Enough (Build Emotional Fitness to Handle Anything)

    Why Healing Isn’t Enough (Build Emotional Fitness to Handle Anything)
    2026/03/12

    Three months since my last solo episode and I’m back.

    In this one I share a personal update, what I’ve been noticing with founders lately, and something I’ve been building quietly behind the scenes that I’m excited to finally talk about.

    We dive into the difference between healing and capacity, two things most people confuse.

    Healing clears the past.

    Capacity determines how much you can hold moving forward.

    I also share why many founders burn out, what AI might be doing to our creativity and intuition, and why emotional fitness may be the most important skill a leader can develop.

    At the end of the episode I introduce something new I'm launching: The Emotional Fitness Club.

    In this episode

    🧠 Healing vs capacity and why both matter

    🔥 The real reason founders burn out

    📱 What AI might be doing to creativity and intuition

    💪 What emotional fitness actually means

    🚀 What I’ve been building behind the scenes for founders

    🎙️ Mentioned in this episode

    Emotional Fitness Club — The Emotional Fitness Club is temporarily closed. If you’re interested or have questions, you can email me directly at lance@lancewessihos.com.
