Ep 104 | The Cost of Constantly Raising the Bar with Jeanae Dumas

In this episode of Beyond Physical, Seb sits down with Jeanae Dumas for an honest conversation about ambition, identity, leadership, and the uncomfortable inner work that often comes with building something of your own. Jeanae shares the journey behind building OneFlow, stepping away from what was familiar, and learning how to lead a team while also navigating the pressure she places on herself. She speaks candidly about introspection, ego, recognition, and the way success can start to feel like a constantly moving target. Together, they explore the tension between drive and enoughness, the realities of creating something from the ground up, and the challenge of building a brand that reflects who you are while also allowing it to grow beyond you. This episode is about self-awareness, leadership, and the emotional weight that can sit beneath high performance. Because sometimes the hardest part of growth isn’t building the thing. It’s learning how to be okay with what you’ve already built.

Ep 101 | Performance, Identity & Showing Up With Intention with Reef Kühn

In this episode of Beyond Physical, Seb sits down with Reeff Kühn to explore performance, identity, and what it really means to show up — both in training and in life. Reeff shares his journey of moving through the lows, breaking away from the corporate path, and building a personal brand rooted in authenticity rather than expectation. The conversation goes beyond surface-level ideas of success and dives into the mindset behind mindful training, self-awareness, and navigating uncertainty. It’s about understanding that performance isn’t just about output — it’s about alignment, intention, and how you show up when things aren’t going your way. This episode is for anyone questioning their path, redefining success, or trying to find clarity in the middle of it all. Because real performance isn’t just physical. It’s everything beneath the surface.
