·58 min·5 clips

Rick Moylan explains why busy professionals are one email away from tears or explosion at his Reset Summit.

Host Jeannette Linfoot interviews Rick Moylan, a leading performance coach, at the Reset Summit 2025 in Manchester. Moylan explains that the summit was created to help busy professionals dealing with stress, burnout, and overwhelm by providing them with the right toolkit. He recounts his own background, starting with a passion for sport and football, but not making it professionally due to a lack of self-belief he later recognized. This realization led him to shift from sports science to focusing on mental performance and mindset. Moylan discusses working with boxer Ricky Hatton, noting Hatton's ability to switch into a dedicated 'deadline mindset' for fights. He outlines the concept of 'look, think, and feel like an elite athlete,' emphasizing sacrifice and connection to a vision rather than enjoyment of the process. The conversation turns to applying sports principles to business, with Moylan introducing the 'lonely walk' principle, where the nervous feelings before a sports event mirror those before a business pitch. He advises having an event to train towards, especially for fundraising, to maintain motivation. Moylan shares the personal story of his niece Sophia, who died in a neonatal unit, which inspired him to raise over £450,000 for the hospital through charity boxing events. He stresses the importance of having a coach for accountability, even for himself, and reflects on advice to enjoy life and do good. The episode concludes with Moylan defining 'brave, bold, brilliant' as being scared but acting, embracing uniqueness, and recognizing everyone's inherent brilliance.
