Jason Su is a mindset and performance coach and the author of Poker with Presence. We talked about how living with presence can help guide you through the ups and downs of the game, why it is the missing piece in the field of mindset work, and what are some of the best ways for you to start feeling more centered and get “in the zone” as often as possible. Jason's advice can definitely help us build a more fulfilling career in poker and feel happier with our life.   Poker With Presence on Amazon https://amzn.to/3sGlQLo Jason on Twitter - https://twitter.com/jasonbsu Jason's website -  https://www.pokerwithpresence.com/   CONNECT Subscribe to newsletter: https://www.runchukspodcast.com Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/runchuks-yt Twitter: https://twitter.com/RunchuksP Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/runchukspoker Coaching: https://bit.ly/bts-coaching   PODCAST INFO Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2XlvTro Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2ECWIAF Podcast Website: https://runchuks.podbean.com YouTube playlist: https://bit.ly/podcast-yt   OUTLINE 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:19 Jason Su 00:04:48 How do we achieve the state of flow 00:06:45 First step - Take a breath 00:07:47 The way poker players deal with emotions 00:15:15 Jason's personal journey 00:18:52 Career goals and balance 00:22:23 Biggest Aha! moments 00:25:59 The most common problems 00:31:11 How to deal with fear during a session 00:35:59 The fear of failure 00:39:48 Focusing on what's in front of you 00:42:17 Playing when you don't want to play 00:48:47 Learning how to acknowledge both ideas being true 00:51:36 The perfect day 00:53:43 Inner voice 00:56:08 Building a solid foundation 01:00:26 Poker freedom 01:09:40 Try a different poker format 01:12:51 Poker as a profession 01:15:20 Burn-out 01:23:05 Fast money mentality 01:26:57 The path to happiness 01:32:34 Mental state during the pandemic 01:36:56 Take a breath 01:42:49 The role of the coach 01:54:52 Self-discovery with the help of the coach 01:59:44 Jason's social media and final thoughts
