Hi, I’m Brian Hite

As founder of Brian Hite Global and co-host of the podcast Poking Holes in Blinders, Brian combines storytelling with actionable insights. He is the author of Begin Again and the forthcoming A Stuntman’s Guide to Motivation, blending wisdom with practical advice. A lifelong learner, Brian’s passion for embracing the unknown motivates others to push their boundaries and strive for greatness.
With over two decades of experience navigating high-pressure environments, Brian Hite is a rare blend of professional stuntman and performance psychologist. Drawing from his life-threatening stunts in Hollywood blockbusters and his advanced studies in organizational and sport psychology, Brian helps individuals and teams rethink how they approach pressure. Whether guiding U.S. Army soldiers, coaching elite performers, or mentoring business leaders, Brian’s innovative methods dismantle outdated beliefs about pressure, replacing them with strategies for clarity, focus, and success.
I’ve been in film and TV stunts for 40 years and run Stunt Performers Academy. For the last year and a half, Brian Hite has given a 2-hour keynote to every student group. His skill in teaching essential techniques to aspiring stunt professionals is unmatched. Stunts involve challenges like fear and anxiety, and Brian provides crucial tools to manage these effectively. His keynotes, delivered from a stunt performer’s perspective, are well-crafted and impactful. I highly recommend his engaging and informative sessions and look forward to his continued involvement.

Brian’s approach to fear and performance anxiety is both unique and effective. His real-life personal stories, grounded in both stunts and psychology, provided us with practical ways to not hide from or get rid of our fears, but to actually harness and use our fears during challenging moments.
