PERFORMANY: A New Word for a New Way to Live—That Busts the 4 Biggest Myths of Human Performance

By John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM”, Founder, Performany Inc | Creator of the ​Performance Lifestyle®
“PERFORMANY” is not just a name. It’s a mission, a movement, and a message whose time has come—because human performance should never be reserved for the elite few. It’s for all of us. It’s for the many. We Don’t Need More Hustle. We Need People Who Can Perform—and Still Thrive. In a culture obsessed with doing, hustle for periods of time is good, but we’ve created a warped idea of what “performance” actually means.

​If you’re like most people, when you hear the word “performance,” you think of pressure. Of hustle. Of being on all the time.

But that’s not human performance. That’s performance addiction—a socially acceptable, culturally reinforced condition where your worth is defined by how much you produce, achieve, and conquer.
It’s exhausting.
It’s unsustainable.
And ironically, it kills the very performance it’s trying to sustain.

So, I Coined a New Word: PERFORMANY
Not to sound clever. But because the conversation around performance is broken.
The model is broken.
And most of what we’ve been taught is just fragmented information, disconnected from the whole.
What we call “high performance” is often just stress-fueled output.
What we call “success” is often achieved at the cost of our energy, health, and well-being.

PERFORMANY stands for:
Human Performance for the Many.
Not just for Olympians.
Not just for executives or elite achievers.
Not just for people with access to hyper-personalized systems and high-performance teams.
But for the many—the moms, dads, creatives, leaders, and everyday strivers with ambitions, goals, and real-life complexity to manage.
Because here’s the truth:
If you’re alive today, you are performing.
The only question is whether your lifestyle is supporting you… or silently sabotaging you.

Performance Addiction Is the Real Pandemic
Let’s name it for what it is:
Performance addiction is when your identity is hijacked by achievement.

You’re always striving. Always comparing. Living in the realm of psychology—lost in thoughts, feelings, and emotions—disconnected from your inner source.
It’s not success.
Its survival disguised as ambition.
It’s the curse of the capable person. 

Why are we stuck here?
Because no one ever taught us what human performance really is.

We’ve been sold hacks, habits, and hype.
But not the system.
Not the lifestyle that sustains high performance.

That’s what the Performance Lifestyle® delivers.
That’s why PERFORMANY had to be born.

Let’s Bust the Myths of Human Performance

Myth #1: Performance = Productivity
Truth: Performance is about capacity and capability, not just output. It’s not about grinding—it’s about aligning your energy with your goals.

Myth #2: You Always Need to Be “Becoming” Something
Truth: You can just be. Your lifestyle should work for you—not constantly push you to prove your worth. True performance arises from groundedness, not endless striving.

Myth #3: You Have to Unleash the Power Within
Truth: Most people don’t even know what that power is. And it’s not willpower or brute force—it’s your vital energy, and it doesn’t need to be burned at high velocity to be effective. It needs to be proactively recovered, managed, and channeled.

Myth #4: Human Performance = Fitness + Nutrition
Truth: Those are pieces. But true human performance is a lifestyle system. It includes spiritual grounding, energy management, sleep optimization, mindset, schedule design, and more.

This Is a Lifestyle Revolution
PERFORMANY is not a product.
It’s not a trend.
It’s a declaration.
That every human being deserves to understand how to live in a way that supports their potential--without losing touch with their Spirit, depleting their energy, or compromising their health…
We’re not here to glorify more doing.
We’re not here to celebrate the addiction to achievement for all the wrong reasons.
We’re here to restore alignment.
To reconnect people to the source of their energy.
And to teach the lifestyle system that fuses human performance with true well-being—in body, mind, and soul.
That’s what PERFORMANY stands for.

Why This Word Matters Right Now
Look around.
The world isn’t just running on empty--
it’s overdrawing from its life force like a bank account stuck in overdraft.
We’re spending energy we haven’t earned… and paying the price with our health, our clarity, and our joy.
People are overworking, overthinking, under-recovering, and underliving.
We’re in an energy debt crisis—not just economically, but bioenergetically.
And here’s the truth no one wants to admit:
You can’t solve an energy debt with willpower.
You need a new operating system.
A new way of life.

The Performance Lifestyle® is that shift.
It’s the system that shows you how to live in alignment with your energy, your biology, and your purpose—so you can thrive, not just survive.

PERFORMANY is the cultural insight, the rallying cry, and the company delivering it to the world.
It stands for human performance for the many—because this isn’t just for the 1%.
It’s for the 100%.
If you’re alive today, you’re already performing.
The question is:
Is your lifestyle supporting you… or silently distracting and holding you back?
