Meta Performance™ Moment #24: Why Marques Colston Says Success Must Be Rewritten, Not Reached

In these ‘Moment’ episodes, we highlight some of the most powerful insights from past conversations on Beyond High Performance.


METAPERFORMANCE SHOW | In this Moment of Meta Performance from the Beyond High Performance podcast, Super Bowl champion, entrepreneur, and executive coach Marques Colston shares a powerful perspective on one of the greatest challenges in both sports and leadership: sustaining success.


Getting to the top isn’t the hardest part—staying there is. In this candid moment, Marques reflects on the pivotal mindset shift required to move from being the hunter to becoming the hunted—and how that transition reveals what you’re truly made of.


This episode isn’t about arrival. It’s about building the internal and external structures to keep going, keep growing, and keep redefining what success means on your own terms.

You’ll discover:

  • Why reaching a goal is never the finish line—it’s just the proving ground
  • The mental makeup that separates short-term wins from sustained impact
  • How elite performers learn to replicate success across chapters of life
  • The danger of mistaking opportunity for arrival
  • How to build a career—and a life—that evolves beyond any single title or moment


Whether you’re leading a company, navigating transitions, or working to expand your influence, this moment challenges you to ask a deeper question: Are you maintaining success—or multiplying it?

🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: Are you building a life that can evolve beyond every win?

Beyond High Performance
From Undervalued to In-Demand: Becoming a Premium Executive Coach

ON COACHING | What separates premium coaches from commodity ones? It’s not strategy, it’s identity.

In this episode of On Coaching, host Joseph King Barkley—President of the Meta Performance™ Institute and Executive Coach with Novus Global—sits down with Shauna Barnes, Partner and Executive Coach, and Kristin Frade, Director of Novus Global Sport, Leagues & Organizations, to unpack the mindset shift that changes everything: moving from undercharging and overdelivering to building a sustainable, transformational coaching practice that actually pays the bills.


Whether you're stuck in a cycle of free sessions and hourly pricing, or you're ready to step into boardrooms with confidence, this conversation will challenge how you see yourself as a coach and equip you to level up.

Inside the episode you’ll discover:
 ✔️ Why “generosity” can secretly sabotage your business
 ✔️ How to move from time-based billing to value-based pricing
 ✔️ The identity shift that unlocks executive presence
 ✔️ What it means to be a resource, not a vendor
 ✔️ How to stop being chosen because you’re cheaper

If you’ve been feeling the tug to raise your rates, refine your presence, or simply stop spinning your wheels, this is your moment to start.

Meta Performance™ Moment #23: Why Luke Schenn Believes Mental Rebound Control is the Key to Longevity

In these ‘Moment’ episodes, we highlight some of the most powerful insights from past conversations on Beyond High Performance.


METAPERFORMANCE SHOW | In this Moment of Meta Performance from the Beyond High Performance podcast, two-time Stanley Cup champion Luke Schenn pulls back the curtain on the mindset that has fueled his longevity in one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports on the planet.


At the NHL level, physical talent only takes you so far. As Luke shares candidly, the real differentiator is mental resilience—what he calls “mental rebound control.” It’s not about never making mistakes. It’s about how fast you bounce back from them.

In this high-stakes conversation, Luke opens up about the toll of performance slumps, how a single bad shift can spiral into weeks of subpar play, and the mental tools he’s developed to stay level-headed, consistent, and competitive.

This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about building the capacity to reset, refocus, and return stronger—whether you’re lacing up skates or leading a boardroom.

You’ll discover:

  • Why elite performance is 90% mental (especially when everyone’s physically elite)
  • How negative spirals derail careers—and how to break the cycle
  • The connection between rebound control in hockey and in life
  • How to use self-talk, preparation rituals, and short memory to stay sharp
  • Why great coaches don’t just fix problems—they help you recover faster


Whether you’re leading a team or facing your own high-pressure moments, this conversation challenges you to rethink how you measure strength—and to build a mindset that holds up under pressure.


🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: Do you have the mental habits to perform at your best—even when the pressure’s on?
