World-renowned mentalist and New York Times bestselling author Oz Pearlman has spent three decades studying how people think — and how to influence what they do next.

But he’s also an elite marathoner and ultrarunner.

In this episode of Post Run High, Oz breaks down the mindset behind his performances — and the lessons endurance sports taught him about confidence, memorability, and mental toughness.

We talk about:

• The psychology behind instant likability
• How to approach anyone without feeling awkward
• The simple formula to never forget someone’s name
• Why memorability beats talent
• What ultramarathons reveal about resilience
• The mindset that helped him leave Wall Street to bet on himself

This isn’t about magic tricks. It’s about understanding people — and learning how to master your own mind.
