Our Coaching Ecosystem
At PTB, we don’t recruit coaches. We curate them.
Our ecosystem is composed of top-tier talent — proven leaders, operators, and performance specialists who are experts in their field. Every coach within PTB is exclusively hand-selected and personally invited based on demonstrated excellence, lived experience under pressure, and an unwavering commitment to client transformation.
We look for more than credentials. We look for depth.
Character. Discernment. Emotional intelligence. The ability to hold the line when performance matters most. These are not generic coaches.
They are world-class practitioners trusted to guide high-performers through identity shifts, leadership transitions, and high-stakes decision-making.
When you work with PTB, you are stepping into an ecosystem designed for serious growth — supported by coaches who have walked the path themselves.

Behind every breakthrough is the right guide. Our coaching team has walked the path of high-pressure leadership, entrepreneurship, and performance — and now we’re here to help you navigate yours. We don’t just coach; we partner with you to unlock clarity, balance, and sustainable success.

Jason Sardo
Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Jason Sardo is the founder of Performance Through Balance™, a coaching practice built to help leaders sustain peak performance without burning out. His path has been anything but ordinary—serving as in the U.S. Secret Service, competing as a professional poker player, founding a cybersecurity startup, and leading enterprise sales teams. Across each of these high-pressure arenas, Jason learned firsthand how resilience, clarity, and balance drive true success.
When he’s not coaching executives and entrepreneurs, Jason can be found on the pickleball court, diving into performance science, or at the poker table sharpening the same mental edge he teaches his clients. He still calls Buffalo home at heart, but his work has taken him nationwide, helping leaders conquer self-doubt, regain confidence, and create sustainable systems for both business and life.
Through Performance Through Balance™, Jason combines research-backed coaching methodologies with real-world tools like the Oura Ring to deliver measurable improvements in energy, decision-making, and leadership. His mission is simple: to help high performers live and lead at their best—without sacrificing what matters most.

Eklavya
Eklavya is a life coach and trauma-informed mentor who offers deeply personalized guidance to individuals struggling with self-worth, emotional wounds, and the silent ache of not feeling “good enough.” Specializing in helping men aged 22–45 who feel lost, lonely, and disconnected from their passions, Eklavya’s mission is to help them rediscover their authenticity and reclaim their confidence in both life and relationships.
Having walked through years of inner turmoil himself; battling childhood trauma, self-sabotage, and relentless self-doubt—Eklavya turned his healing into a framework that blends Jungian and Freudian psychology, exposure therapy, inner child work, David Hawkins’ Letting Go technique, and NLP. His clients say it best: “Eklavya doesn’t just coach—he shows up. He’s real, and that gives us permission to be real too.”
His clients go on to love with open hearts, speak with courage, and walk through life as the hero of their own story - not the victim of their past. They stop hiding. They stop people-pleasing. They stop waiting for permission to be who they are.
