    Episode 128: "Why Thinking Is Becoming a Competitive Edge", John Cullen and Brandon Allen
    May 1 2026
    After nearly a year away, the MAP boys are back -- and a lot has changed.

    In this episode, we break down how AI is reshaping performance, why over-automation can weaken decision-making, and what it really takes to lead in a world where certainty is gone. This is a real conversation about the human edge -- judgment, focus, adaptability -- and how to use AI without losing it.

    Episode 126: "(Sp)identity", Holly Stofa
    Apr 17 2025
    The MAP boys sit down for a fascinating conversation with Holly Stofa, a smalltown girl who went on to become a Covert CIA Operator, author, coach, mom, collegiate athlete and mental performance coach. After her career in the CIA, she has now set her agenda on helping people like yourself to become their best and truest self.
    A few of the topics we discuss are the importance of placing an emphasis on self-awareness in personal and professional relationships; teamwork; maintaining relationships in high-pressure careers and how staying connected to one's identity is so critical in all-consuming roles; importance of self-belief and how a belief in the possible can help someone be more resilient.
    So, get your pen and paper ready, you won't want to miss this one -- here is Holly Stofa.
