If you fear excellence, swipe away now.

Today I sit down with Jeremy McWilliams a former Green Beret, combat veteran, entrepreneur, husband, and leader inside the Rise Up Kings community. A man who went through Special Forces selection, survived combat in Afghanistan, took grenades on a rooftop, and was dragged to a helicopter by a brother who refused to leave him behind.

This is not a war story.

This is a leadership story.

We break down what Special Forces selection actually tests and why it is not your size, your strength, or your ego that determines whether you make it. It is what is between your ears. We talk about pressure, brotherhood, vulnerability, marriage, business, discipline, and why comfort is quietly crushing modern men.

Jeremy shares what it means to be known, to build a marriage that survives ambition, to build businesses with your wife, and why radical change is sometimes the only way forward.

Most men are not at rock bottom.
They are sedated by comfort.
The loan of comfort has an interest rate that is crushing.

If you are a man over 30 building a family, building a business, building a life that matters, this conversation will challenge you.

Baseball is a game of failure.
Wealth is a game of discipline.
Life is a game of execution.

In this episode of The Performance Standard, I sit down with Allan Kamori, founder of Correlation Advisors, to break down what high performing men get wrong about money.

Most people are not investing. They are gambling.

They chase trends.
They react emotionally.
They follow gurus.
And then they wonder why they feel stressed.

We talk about:

• Why discipline beats talent
• Why most advisors are part of the “financial machine”
• Why chasing crypto or hot trends is emotional gambling
• How business owners sabotage themselves by waiting too long
• And why you must choose the pain of discipline over the pain of regret

This isn’t about getting rich quick.

It’s about execution.
It’s about clarity.
It’s about doing the right thing consistently over decades.

If you’re a man over 30 building something in Arizona - business, career, family - this conversation matters.

Are you building wealth with discipline or are you reacting emotionally to trends?

Comment below. I read every response.

This is the story I didn’t want to tell - but needed to.

I wasn’t the most talented.

I failed exams. I didn’t match. I had red flags on my record.

At one point, I was over $400,000 in debt, with no residency spot and no guarantees.

In this solo episode of The Dr. Peña Podcast - The Performance Standard, I break down the moments where everything could’ve ended - failing prerequisites, Caribbean medical school, not matching, SOAP, general surgery when I didn’t want it, and the mindset that kept me executing when quitting would’ve been easier.

This is not a motivation talk.

This is about preparation, accountability, biology, and execution - and why most men don’t fail because they lack discipline, but because they ignore their physiology.

If you’re a man over 30 who feels stuck, burned out, foggy, or plateaued, this episode will challenge how you think about performance, responsibility, and what it actually takes to win.

When was the moment your back was against the wall - and did you execute or hesitate?
