NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Khan Porter
He's competed at the CrossFit Games and trained as a psychotherapist. Then his own body forced a reckoning most high performers never see coming.
On this episode of the Thrive Under Pressure Podcast, Khan sits down with Dan Vann to unpack what happened when seven competitions across four countries in five months pushed him into a medical emergency, and what it taught him about staying whole under pressure.
Inside the conversation:
- Why a clear sense of who you are is the antidote to a loud, chaotic world
- The difference between playing a role and disappearing into it
- Why most advice is really just projection
- How "self-love" became one of the most misused ideas in mental health
- Using AI as a tool without letting it think for you
If you perform under pressure in sport, business, or life, this one is worth your time.

Perform. Adapt. Evolve.
You are burning out because you are fighting reality. 👇
Most people spend their entire lives trying to avoid the unavoidable or obtain the unobtainable. And then they wonder why they feel like they are suffocating under the weight of it all.
During the recent Thrive Under Pressure Next Level workshop, Jamie Milne Training broke down the exact science of stress.
If you are an athlete, a business owner, or leading a team, write this down. Pressure comes down to three variables:
1. Expectation
2. Consequences
3. Scrutiny
Look at the All Blacks. They face the media, the roaring crowd, the opposition, and their own massive internal standards. They feel the exact same three variables you do. The difference? They don't hide from them. They acknowledge the reality of the arena.
You can't change what you refuse to acknowledge. It's time to stop dodging the pressure and start managing the variables.
Which of those three variables is weighing the heaviest on you right now? Get ruthlessly honest and drop it in the comments. ⬇️

Pretty special weekend watching these two legends compete at 👏
This time last year, things looked very different for after suffering a heart attack during competition weekend. To now see him qualify for the CrossFit Games Finals and finish 3rd against some of the best athletes in the world is incredibly inspiring.
Over the last year, Bayley has put in a huge amount of work behind the scenes not just physically, but mentally too.
A lot of our work together has focused around:
• Breathing and nervous system regulation
• Managing energy and recovery
• Building clarity around competition
• Tidying up mindset and mental skills processes
• Learning how to acknowledge pressure without letting it become overwhelming
He’s always been someone capable of doing the hard things. The biggest shift has been creating better awareness, structure and trust in his process.
As a coach, I’m incredibly proud of Bayley and immensely grateful to play a small part in the journey. Watching all the hard work transfer onto the floor this weekend with some epic performances was awesome to see.
Also very cool seeing .cf out there competing alongside him and the progress he has made to become a genuine world class contender (way h this space) 👊
The work continues 🔥
