Antifragil Performance

I. THE PHILOSOPHY

Antifragil Performance, created by Savannah Calleja, is a company that incorporates science and faith into building an antifragile individual. As a researcher, I know there is clear evidence that doing hard things is good for the brain. My goal for this company is to encourage people to get comfortable in the uncomfortable because I believe that is what truly grows a person.

II. THE SCIENCE OF STRESS

The concept of antifragility was established by Nassim Taleb to describe systems that thrive, grow, or improve when exposed to stress, volatility, and disorder. At Antifragil, the "system" is us. We are individuals exposed to the daily stressors of life. By purposely putting ourselves in stressful situations, we engage our physiology and force it to adapt. We become better at coping with stress because our bodies are not fragile; they were engineered to handle the load.

III. THE CALL TO FAITH

Currently in the US, there is an epidemic of inactivity and a culture of comfort.

comfort is the greatest sin

I believe that we can commit this sin as humans because it prevents us from reaching our true potential. This is why faith is a vital component of this company. As believers in Jesus, we are called to live a life that might look "uncomfortable" to others, but it is exactly what allows us to thrive.
