FINDING COMPOSURE is about leading how to operate under pressure.
Hosted by Jared Fredrickson, this show explores what actually happens in the moments that matter. The surge before the reaction. The split second where tone shifts. The internal pressure that most people never talk about.
Through conversations with athletes, founders, leaders, and parents, we break down the mechanics of composure. Not as calm. Not as motivation. But as direction under tension.
If you carry responsibility, lead others, compete, build, or make decisions that affect more than just you, this show is for you.
Because composure is not something you have. It’s something you return to.
How to Actually Change Who You Are | Finding Composure Ep. 6
Send us Fan Mail Most of us already know what we should do. Work out. Send the email. Have the conversation. Stop overexplaining. Follow through. The problem is usually not information. The problem is what happens in the few seconds before the decision. Your body tightens. Resistance shows up. Then your brain starts building a very convincing argument for why tomorrow makes more sense. That is where identity advice falls apart. You may already know who you want to be. You may have already dec...

Why You Stall When It Matters Most | Finding Composure Ep. 4
Send us Fan Mail Ever notice how the moment you need to act is the exact moment you suddenly have ten other things to think about? That's not a lack of motivation, it's pressure. Pressure almost never arrives as one big problem. It arrives as five small ones, all demanding your attention at the same time, like replying to an email, making a phone call, finishing a project and figure out tomorrow. Before long, you're moving constantly but getting nowhere. In this episode, I share one of th...

You Missed the Most Important Moment | Finding Composure Ep 5
Send us Fan Mail We spend our lives waiting for the moment that changes everything. The promotion, the conversation, the diagnosis. But what if the moment already happened? The biggest shifts in our lives don't begin with the event itself. They begin with the first tightening in your chest, the first story your brain creates, and the first small decision you make without realizing pressure has already taken over. By the time most people notice pressure, it's already driving. In this epis...

Finding the Red Cat | Finding Compousre Ep 3
Send us Fan Mail Every moment starts with a fact. Then your brain gets to work. The text isn't answered. Your boss says, "Can we talk?" Your spouse gets quiet. A client disappears. Within half a second, your brain writes a story. And by the time it reaches your awareness, the story feels exactly like the truth. This episode is about separating the two. The Color and the Cat. Strip away the color your mind added. Name the cat. Stay with what anyone standing next to you would agree actua...

Your Body Knows Before You Do | Finding Composure Ep. 2
Send us Fan Mail We like to believe our decisions begin with a thought. They don't, they begin with a feeling. Before the story or the reaction. Before you even realize something has changed. That's the moment I've become obsessed with. In this episode, I break down why pressure always reaches your body before it reaches your mind, how to recognize the first tightening instead of the third, and why catching that moment isn't about staying calm. It's about buying back the space to think, pl...

Calm in a Crisis, Wrecked on a Tuesday | Finding Composure Ep 1
Send us Fan Mail I was offshore on a sailboat on May 15th, 2025. Perfect Southern California afternoon. We were in the starting sequence of a race. Rope in my hand. Phone buzzing in my pocket. I couldn't answer it. The horn blew. We took off. When I finally checked my phone I had nine missed calls and one text from my 13-year-old son: "Get home now. Mom had a seizure." Weeks later we learned it was glioblastoma. Then my father died. And life kept handing me moments I didn't get a vote on...
