In this episode, I speak with Brian Hite. Brian is a modern-day Renaissance man, blending high-octane stunt work with sport/performance psychology and education. With over 100 film and TV credits, including a Screen Actors Guild award for "24," and more than a decade training U.S. Army soldiers, Brian brings a wealth of experience to his work.

Holding a Master's in Sport Psychology, a Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology, and several coaching certifications, he is an expert in human performance. Brian’s engaging keynotes challenge conventional thinking and inspire bold, innovative solutions.

As founder of Brian Hite Global and co-host of the podcast Poking Holes in Blinders, Brian combines storytelling with actionable insights. He is the author of Begin Again and the forthcoming A Stuntman’s Guide to Motivation, blending wisdom with practical advice. A lifelong learner, Brian’s passion for embracing the unknown motivates others to push their boundaries and strive for greatness.
