Manage episode 467821464 series 3237497
What does it take to stay calm under pressure, take risks, and excel at the highest level? In this episode of KP Unpacked, Jeff sits down with Hollywood stuntman Theo Kypri—a man who has literally put his life on the line for some of the biggest names in film.
With over 30 years in the industry, Theo has been Johnny Depp’s stunt double in Pirates of the Caribbean, performed high-risk sequences in Black Widow, The Legend of Zorro, Public Enemies, and worked on major productions like Stranger Things and The Walking Dead: Dead City. Now, he’s sharing the mental frameworks that helped him succeed—not just in film, but in business and life.
🔹 The power of mental conditioning—how top performers manage fear and stay composed
🔹 Why anxiety is the enemy of success (and how to control it)
🔹 The work ethic behind elite performers—what separates the best from the rest
🔹 Taking calculated risks—why the biggest rewards come without a safety net
From the film industry to the business world, these principles apply to anyone striving for excellence. Whether you're pitching investors, leading a company, or simply aiming to perform at your best, this conversation will challenge you to think like a champion.
