The INSIDER PODCAST: SEASON 15 – Episode 4

The Mindset Shift That Saved My Life

With Eduardo Briceño

In this episode of the ScaleX Insider Podcast, host Brendan McGurgan engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Eduardo Briceño, author of The Performance Paradox and a globally recognised expert on growth mindset and learning organisations. Discover how to move beyond constant grinding, unlock exponential growth, and create a learning-focused culture in your business. Eduardo shares insights into the "Performance Paradox," the power of balancing performance with learning, and practical strategies for embracing discomfort to build resilience and foster innovation. Whether you're scaling a business or striving to improve personally, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you thrive. What You'll Learn in This Episode: - Why constant performance leads to stagnation—and how to break the cycle. - The "learning zone" vs. the "performance zone" and why both are essential for growth. - How feedback can fuel innovation and team success. - Strategies for leaders to model a growth mindset and inspire their teams. - The importance of reframing challenges as opportunities for adventure and growth. Key Quotes: “If we’re always performing, our performance suffers. Growth requires learning, and learning requires stepping into discomfort.” – Eduardo Briceño “Scaling businesses succeed not because they know it all, but because they’re always learning.” – Brendan McGurgan

We’re joined by Eduardo Briceño, co-founder of Mindset Works and author of The Performance Paradox. Eduardo started his career in finance after graduating from an Ivy League school, but a personal health crisis led him to pivot toward a purpose-driven career. At Stanford, he studied under Professor Carol Dweck and became an advocate for growth mindset, co-founding the first company focused on its development.

Now, Eduardo works with organizations globally to build learning cultures that improve performance and adaptability. In this episode, we’ll explore the principles behind The Performance Paradox and how leaders can balance short-term results with long-term scaling success.
