This is beyond confidence and now here's your host, div Park.

23
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:12.719
Good morning listeners.

24
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.400
It's Tuesday, and of course I love to be here

25
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.519
with y'all. So I want to share the kind of

26
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.519
story I had shared with you probably in a few

27
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.519
episodes back. I had shared and like you know, it's

28
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.560
a wonderful story. It doesn't matter. I love sharing the

29
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.079
story all the time. So when I walk in on

30
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.840
nature trails, there's this beautiful, beautiful person. She has become

31
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.959
my friend, Jennifer. She usually goes on the bike and

32
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.640
she has so much enthusiasm and energy just lights up

33
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.280
my day. So she would say good morning energetically to

34
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.519
everyone she came across. So one day I stopped her

35
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:56.280
and I asked her that this is just amazing and

36
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.439
I wanted to share with you that you are an

37
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:03.519
unsom hero. You are amazing. I'm looking forward to walking

38
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:05.760
on this trail and actually look up for you. And

39
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.000
she said, oh, that is really sweet. And I asked

40
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.360
her if it was okay for me to share this

41
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.000
in a blog and she said sure, and I took

42
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.120
a picture with her. You can check it out on

43
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:26.080
Medium or LinkedIn, and I wrote a blog and then

44
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:30.360
we met up again. We have been really good friends.

45
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.560
And then what she shared with me was that one

46
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.759
of her friends said that, oh, he was walking on

47
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.520
a trail and he would keep on saying good morning,

48
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.759
and some people responded and he wasn't sure if he

49
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.840
wanted to continue doing that, and then she shared her

50
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.879
story with him that it does make an impact. So

51
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.719
the reason I'm sharing this story with you is to

52
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.280
remember that when you're kind, don't look for a return

53
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.560
and just give kindness with no expectations. I guarantee you

54
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:10.919
it will impact someone. And I thank you for your kindness,

55
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.560
as I want to thank each and every one of

56
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.199

63
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.360
Thanks for having me. I'm really looking forward to it.

64
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.159
Well, I'm excited to have you on this show, So

65
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.319
share with us a moment or a person from your

66
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.840
childhood that do you even remember today? Who left a

67
00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:58.800
post and mark on you?

68
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.960
Well, I'll do one very near and dear to my heart.

69
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.560
My mother. My mother has been a foundational rock for

70
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.120
me since I've been really young. She always provided the

71
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:17.720
space for me to fail, explore, discover, and those skills

72
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:23.959
and those experiences have really given me fuel to tackle

73
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:29.639
anything without any wavering And she's just always there and

74
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.199
a lot of what you just shared, you know, she

75
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.959
does it from a place of gratitude and heart and kindness,

76
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.079
and she does it because she really wants me to

77
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:44.759
be bigger than I ever thought I possibly could. So, yeah,

78
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.480
my mother is definitely the rock on a lot of

79
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.519
different aspects in my life.

80
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.519
Oh that's wonderful, And I really like what you said

81
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.040
that she created that safe space for you to fail.

82
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.160
It doesn't matter whether where we are in life, whether

83
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.839
it is teams or organizations, entrepreneurs, and even for yourself,

84
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.600
because yes, all of these entities can create that safe space,

85
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.480
but are you creating that safe space for yourself for

86
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:22.160
you to fail? What a powerful thing to have in life.

87
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.920
So as you grew up, share with pass When did

88
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:26.680
your life take you?

89
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:32.680
Yeah, so sports is a really important piece of my life.

90
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.720
I started playing at four years old, competitive at eight

91
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.399
years old, traveling the country, you know, winning tournaments. So

92
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.040
sports is definitely part of my cloth and fabric of

93
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.120
who I am, and for a long time I couldn't

94
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:52.319
see beyond that. And what's interesting about that is sports

95
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.240
is what I did, not who I am, but it

96
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.920
gave me a lot of experiences. So as I grew up,

97
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.879
I didn't have summers off. I had to give up

98
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.480
a lot of different things to play for teams at

99
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.480
the highest level, and those were the sacrifices that my

100
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.079
parents made and allowed me the space to have that

101
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.199
as well. Ended up getting a full scholarship to the

102
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.319
University of Pittsburgh and I ended up playing softball in college.

103
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.120
And you know, I had a really bleak resume because

104
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.839
sports was year round for me. I didn't have internships.

105
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.839
So for me, my identity was solely through sport for

106
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.720
a very long time because I had no peripheral or

107
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.519
experience outside of sport. But there were so many skills

108
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.600
that I acquired while in sport that I never knew

109
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.000
would transition beyond the game. So for me, sports is

110
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.040
such a huge parallel path for how I've amassed and

111
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.720
been able to work for a fortune one hundred company Honeywell,

112
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.600
it's a forty billion dollar company off of zero years

113
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.759
of work experience, right, And it was really garnered with

114
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.000
my sports background. And I majored in chemistry, so that

115
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.360
was the other thing too. For me. It's a scholar athlete,

116
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:06.639
so it always encapsulated both the curiosity of learning and

117
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.319
being a part of an institution that is doing bigger

118
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.680
things and also play at a high level. So I

119
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.639
did that and ended up traveling the world and I

120
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:17.040
am here.

121
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.639
Now, well that's fantastic. So you said that, you know,

122
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.120
you studied chemistry.

123
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:23.560
It's on one.

124
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:31.959
Side you are a this fantastic sports athlete who sacrificed

125
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.480
a lot. Because there's a lot of romance around sports,

126
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.560
we think, oh, you know they and of course sports

127
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.160
players do get that recognition and they get that notoriety.

128
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.959
At the same time, people don't see everything that goes behind.

129
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:55.279
So sports and chemistry is an odd combination usually, like

130
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.160
you know, for people to kind of think about it.

131
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.399
So what drew you to chemistry?

132
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.839
So I was really creative. I've always had that part

133
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.959
of my brain that really operated at a high level,

134
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.439
and I like to be uncomfortable. I like to put

135
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.079
myself in an uncomfortable situation so I can perform at

136
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.399
a higher level. So one of the things I wanted

137
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:18.439
to garner more of was analytical skill sets. So for me,

138
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:23.360
it really gave me versatility to challenge not only my mindset,

139
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.920
but also give me a degree that's super versatile and

140
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.079
could provide a parallel path into a multitude of different

141
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:34.840
industries that I could leverage on top of my creative capacity.

142
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:41.159
So tell us about your corporate experience and honeywell.

143
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.519
Oh, so this one's great because I never was in

144
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:51.440
a role that existed before. That's pretty impactful. I've always

145
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.799
been in roles that I have worked with leaders and

146
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.639
created the role, and the day one of any role,

147
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.159
I would always think who could replace me for me?

148
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.120
Which is the sports part of me right, and leadership

149
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.159
and collaboration and not getting comfortable with staying in place.

150
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:13.600
But I was always provided the environment to do big things,

151
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.360
think bigger than the traditional way that most corporations work,

152
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.240
and I was very fortunate to have other leaders and

153
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.879
be in proximity to effective leaders that allowed me the

154
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:30.000
space allowed for me to fail as long as I

155
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.000
didn't go off of the tracks because you are in

156
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.000
a corporate environment and our representation of a big enterprise, right.

157
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:42.360
So I was always immersed around really really strong individuals

158
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:45.320
that didn't shy away from allowing me to make things

159
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:50.279
my own, and I always learned with them how to

160
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:55.600
have better executive presence while having higher highs and higher lobs.

161
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.960
So there's that delicate flow that you can think big,

162
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.879
you can be action oriented, you can think with a

163
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:07.200
big picture strategically, but at the same time, you need

164
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.080
to be able to walk into doors and notice a room.

165
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.519
And that was one of the things that I would

166
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:18.000
say I really got in my corporate endeavors and very

167
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.240
unique versus the traditional pathway for most people that go

168
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.919
into corporate America and get really tired and bogged down.

169
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.320
I had a lot of coaching, a lot of resources

170
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.720
put around me to thrive not survive in that environment.

171
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:36.559
And that's fantastic, and that tells us what corporations can

172
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:42.919
do because there's data after data. Excuse me, there's data

173
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:47.799
after data that shows that unhappy employees lead to poor performance,

174
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:52.480
and poor performance leads to loss and profits. And yes,

175
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:58.320
corporations are for profit organizations, and it's important to focus

176
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.480
on that point. You mentioned one thing that I started

177
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:11.000
working as if my job could be replaced. So many

178
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.919
people who are in C suite or they may be

179
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.440
like a manager, like you know, they're a newly found manager,

180
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:22.679
and they're like, oh, how can I create this kind

181
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.799
of a strategy where I'm developing somebody else will replace me?

182
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.559
What will happen to me next? So how do you

183
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:29.559
address that fear?

184
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.159
Well, it's really not about you. If you really are

185
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.759
aligned with the values of the corporation and the business

186
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.000
in which you're serving, it's bigger than any one person.

187
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:49.039
And what's really important about innovation and curiosity. Most corporations

188
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.879
strive for it. They aim for that. They talk about

189
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.039
intellectual curiosity, intelligent risk taking, they say, like a lot

190
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:59.559
of fancy words, but it's not being it, not being

191
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.879
present to it and providing the environment to not know

192
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:07.039
what's next. Right. The unknowingness is what shies people away

193
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.519
from trying. And if you're truly curious, if you're truly

194
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.919
trying to drive a culture of innovation and curiosity that

195
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:21.960
warrants the space to create and expand to include others

196
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.600
to take your spot, take the foundation you've built, make

197
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:29.799
it their own, and then pass that on. You may

198
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:34.120
move horizontally, you may not fully move vertically. But if

199
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:38.080
you bypass the ego part of the equation which most

200
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:42.080
people go after, right, the success the power of moving

201
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.720
up the ladder, a lot can happen because there's a

202
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.759
lot of value in horizontal moves to create space where

203
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.759
someone can beat you to that C suite, right, Because

204
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.440
it's not about a title, it's really about well, what

205
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.399
is your highest aim and what are the values you

206
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:01.799
stand in so you can shoot for that purpose and

207
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.879
know your role within the whole, which is a very

208
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.799
different way of leading versus managing.

209
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:14.480
Absolutely, So what I'm hearing is finding that you're talking

210
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:18.120
about a handshake between the corporation that Okay, on one

211
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.159
side you want to have an ovation and on one

212
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:25.879
side you want to grow as well, so kind of

213
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:32.120
both coming together and also thinking about gaining those skills.

214
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:36.679
Because when you're moving horizontally or literally, you can still lead.

215
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.279
There's no need for title. You can be a leader

216
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:44.799
by example anytime and as you accumulate and as you

217
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.639
grow in that knowledge and as you understanding the workings

218
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:54.320
of that organization, it's going to make you. Practically it

219
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.639
is replaceable. I mean, of course, there is nothing like irreplaceable.

220
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.799
But to a great extent, is that what you're alluding?

221
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:07.240
Yeah, And it's around effectiveness over efficiency. So most corporations

222
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:12.080
operate under being efficient. Right, we want to hit these

223
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.000
numbers at this certain time. We want to streamline, we

224
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.080
want to simplify, you know, all of those different things,

225
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.039
which there's a place for it, but that's a very

226
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:26.879
management way of orienting an organization. Right leadership creates the

227
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:31.639
space for you to collaborate with others, allow them to

228
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.600
lean in. Is not defined in time, and it's not

229
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.519
based in authority. There is no power complex relative to effectiveness. Right,

230
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.720
efficiency has a power complex related to it. So you're

231
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.240
absolutely right. And I think it's easier said than done.

232
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.720
And the concept is you're not always going to get

233
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:55.559
it right. How do you just fail faster when you

234
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.639
don't get it right? Versus tolerating the problem or putting

235
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.320
a band aid on something? In systems and process and people,

236
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.840
and I think that's where things go sideways pretty fast

237
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:07.919
with cultures.

238
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.840
You're absolutely right. Actually, recently one of my clients a

239
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.480
smaller company with one hundred people, and they had a

240
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.559
very old system and technology and they were like, oh, yeah,

241
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.039
it's working and we don't want to upgrade it. It's

242
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:27.639
a lot of money. And it again goes back to efficiency.

243
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.919
But what it did was, as we kind of did

244
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:34.679
the risk assessment and risk management, that it could break

245
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:39.399
any time and it could impact things a lot. So

246
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.159
when you talk about the fail forward Fast, what we

247
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.600
did was we sat down and created a plan where

248
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:51.919
he could just create a small pilot where somebody like

249
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:53.879
you know, who was providing a service to them could

250
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.320
come and demonstrate that it would be effective and show

251
00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:01.320
the ROI. So that's one example and experience. How have

252
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:06.360
you seen, whether it's individuals, leaders or companies. If you

253
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.840
can share a couple of stories around phil forward fast,

254
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:10.519
that will be great.

255
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.320
So I'll give you in a multitude of different spaces

256
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.120
so you can see how this translates, whether it be

257
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.039
in the sports world right, whether it be in kind

258
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:25.639
of fortune, one hundred conglomerates that are in multiple markets,

259
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.200
a lot of a lot of individuals they want to

260
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:32.840
make a name for themselves because they're proud, right, And

261
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.200
it does come rooted from a good place more often

262
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:39.720
than not. Obviously you have some ego that plays into that.

263
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:43.799
But people get tied and they get tied emotionally to

264
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:48.080
projects because they're pouring so much of their time that

265
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.759
they're not spending with their family into this project. And

266
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.279
there's a human behavior, there's psychology around getting tied to

267
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.360
something and wanting to see the full end to end

268
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.600
cycle of that and see it come to life. Sometimes

269
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.920
what happens is it clouds a judgment. So for example,

270
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:13.039
we were working on a project and everyone had a

271
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:15.799
piece to say about the project, and it was, how

272
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:20.640
do you enter the oil and gas industry? Because we

273
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:23.640
want the revenue in oil and gas. Oh, but I

274
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:28.440
also really want to be in water security, so I

275
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:30.759
need to figure out how to do both. And you

276
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.839
had two different powers that may be coming at you,

277
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.839
and it's like, how do you make everybody happy and

278
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:42.559
be everything to everyone? Well, sometimes what happens is you

279
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.880
carve a space that doesn't really fit within the strategy

280
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:51.160
and you have different inorganic or organic strategies where you

281
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.200
acquire technology versus build it. And you might make a

282
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:59.039
decision that takes a cycle that you could do in

283
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.519
one year and put it into five years. And now

284
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:05.519
you're tolerating a problem because you're so worried about owning

285
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:09.240
it and creating it from the ground up versus acquiring it.

286
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.440
And you have some things like that, and you also

287
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:17.519
have new product introductions, right, So this happens in R

288
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.759
and D research and development quite a bit with project

289
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:26.720
management and businesses that want growth faster. We want top

290
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.519
line and bottom line faster, faster, faster. Well, in some

291
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:34.200
industries that cycle of new product introduction is longer, so

292
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.319
is very important to that you have to gatepost certain

293
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:43.079
results and stay very stern and firm with those deliverable dates.

294
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.960
Because if you're talking about creating a new molecule that

295
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:50.359
happens ten fifteen years, that doesn't happen in ten months.

296
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:54.000
It's not a software fast cycle business. So if you

297
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:57.960
don't stay disciplined within that journey along the path, something

298
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.200
that's going to take ten years, which is already long,

299
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.839
is now going to take twenty years because you're tolerating

300
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.680
a problem versus pivoting. So you know, those have been

301
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:11.480
very discrete examples and then on the sports side, just

302
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:14.799
to kind of bring it all all to life. Sometimes

303
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:20.920
athletes struggle with failing outside of the game, meaning they

304
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:22.960
can go into the gym and they can put a

305
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.839
lot of weight on the bar and they, you know,

306
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.039
drop the bar because they've hit a threshold on their

307
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:31.920
ability to lift that weight, right, we call it max

308
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:35.359
to it. But for some reason, when you're talking about

309
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.480
life and trying something outside of sport, they're not even

310
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:41.759
willing to put weight on a bar. How can you

311
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:43.880
do that in the gym and look crazy when you

312
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.440
drop a bar, but you can't do that for you

313
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:50.039
for your life to go pro in life. So it's

314
00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:54.359
an interesting dichotomy that really warrants understanding the psychology, the

315
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.920
attitudes and behaviors, the biases in which lead to someone

316
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:01.519
to be emotionally tied to these projects. And once you

317
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:06.599
understand that, then you can reframe, you can unlearn, relearn,

318
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.839
break down before you break through, and that's where the

319
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:10.799
magic really happens.

320
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:14.839
So let's kind of go back. You said that they

321
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.319
don't like feeling outside of the sports, and then it

322
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:24.640
happens similar to the organic professionals or entrepreneurs, it doesn't matter.

323
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.960
If human psychology is the same, what is the reasoning

324
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:29.599
behind it?

325
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:37.440
Fear is the thief of joy mm hmm, and fear

326
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:43.279
is yet to happen. It's in your mind. So understanding

327
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:48.880
your mindset, understanding your conscious and subconscious like it's extremely

328
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.200
important because there's things that you're getting immersed to and

329
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.720
experiencing all day every day that are influencing the way

330
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.519
you operate. And it's really important to be where your

331
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.400
feed are and be very present to what you where

332
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:06.599
you're at. Most people are not present to where they're

333
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.000
at because they're focused on where they're going or what

334
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:12.240
already happened to them, which is the thief of joy

335
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.160
versus being consciously present to what's in front of you,

336
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:20.039
because we cause a lot more trouble for ourselves. Because

337
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:24.640
the data is very very clear, it's important to think

338
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:30.039
positively absolutely, but it's even more important to help reframe

339
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:35.599
and unlearn your negative patterns to automatically talk to yourself negatively. Right.

340
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:39.200
You lose thirty percent when you're around the wrong people

341
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.079
and you only gain fifteen when you're around good people.

342
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.960
So if I can take away thirty percent right, that's

343
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.480
going to help my performance quite extensively. So how do

344
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:55.160
we help reframe someone from taking something negative and turning

345
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.799
it into either neutral or more positive thinking versus I'm

346
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.640
just going to talk positive, which is going to overcome

347
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:04.079
the internal negative talk that I'm already doing to myself.

348
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.839
It's kind of prouder intuitive to focus on that, but

349
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:09.759
that is the most critical piece of it. How do

350
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:13.000
you tackle the yet to happen, that fear which is

351
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:14.119
really that thief of joy?

352
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:21.880
Absolutely, and you mentioned about being present where your ad

353
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.799
and that is so critical and important. So what kind

354
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.279
of a mindset people can have in the routine day

355
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:28.839
today life.

356
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:36.960
So everyone has different routines, and if you don't know

357
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.160
when you're at your best, start to just be very

358
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.880
present to when you feel like you can take on more. Start.

359
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.359
There doesn't have to be these huge breakthroughs. Find the

360
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.319
times of the day where you feel yourself, you feel

361
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.640
like everything is hitting on all cylinders, where you feel

362
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:58.759
like you can do no wrong. Sometimes that's in the

363
00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:01.319
middle of the day. For me, the morning. I am

364
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:03.920
a morning bird. It is my creative space. It is

365
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.359
where I do all my strategy. So I optimize my

366
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:09.839
mornings and in order to do that, that means I

367
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:13.680
have to go to bed earlier, so some people are

368
00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:16.599
in night ouls. So I may miss some opportunity and

369
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:19.759
I don't focus on all the things I'm missing. I

370
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:23.480
focus on what I'm setting myself up for to be

371
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:26.319
able to create the space for me to be present,

372
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:29.680
because I'm putting myself in the best space to do

373
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:32.000
it based off of how I am. There is no

374
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.680
one size fits all. It doesn't mean you have to

375
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:38.240
go cold plunge, it doesn't mean it doesn't mean right.

376
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:40.319
But there's a place for that right. But there's a

377
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.039
whole set of tools that are hitting all of us

378
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:47.720
so many different ways. Maybe start to journal, you know,

379
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:51.599
once a day, give yourself a forecast of where you're

380
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.880
at in the morning and then right where you're at

381
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:55.559
at the end of the day. Start to figure out

382
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.640
your trend, your pattern, Like those are things that you

383
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:02.839
can control, right and when you start to put yourself

384
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.440
in a space where you can control and be present

385
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.640
and find ways and patterns and habits that you need

386
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:12.720
to break that aren't suiting you, or sharpen the things

387
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:16.319
that are strengthening you, that gives you a whole blueprint

388
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:18.720
where you don't have to rely on others because it

389
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.799
really becomes a you verse you consideration. So you can,

390
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.119
you know, present yourself in the best role for the whole.

391
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.519
And that's where you're allowed to be selfish and do

392
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:34.119
it unapologetically. And there's you know, sometimes you want to

393
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.119
work on health. Maybe health is something that's really holding

394
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:39.200
you back from a whole host of different ways to

395
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.640
be present. Maybe you're drinking too many mountain dews, you know,

396
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:45.839
and maybe you start small. It's you know, everyone wants

397
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.160
to think about these big things, but it's what are

398
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:50.480
those one or two things that can really set you

399
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:57.119
up to make you think and actually be different than

400
00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.759
you are, because if you were already where you wanted

401
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:01.799
to be, you wouldn't be struggling.

402
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.160
Absolutely, and starting out small is so powerful. A lot

403
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:09.359
of people think that, oh, you know, just one or

404
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:12.279
two things is not going to do anything for me.

405
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:18.039
Always remember little hinges swing big doors. And what I'm

406
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:24.000
hearing from you is bringing that sports attitude because as

407
00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:27.799
you said, you had to sacrifice a lot like probably

408
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:31.960
most of the other youngsters and teenagers were having party

409
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:35.680
and you were right there consistently going for practice and

410
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:43.160
discipline and the exercise and that discipline really helps, and

411
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.640
showing up daily and showing up every day. So basically,

412
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.480
what you're talking about is having that champion mindset in

413
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.599
day to day lives.

414
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:57.799
Absolutely. Absolutely, it's easier said than done, but it is

415
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:02.480
something that we all have access to. We all have

416
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:05.319
access to that. It is a choice, not chance. You

417
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:07.559
have to choose that. It's now what you are capable of,

418
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.319
it is what you are willing to do. You can

419
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:12.920
have all the talent in the world, right you can

420
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.359
be in a room and have imposter syndrome because you think, oh,

421
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:19.480
I'm around all these executives. But I was twenty six

422
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:23.160
years old working on a ten billion dollar merger acquisition

423
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:28.319
assignment with very executive, very smart individuals, and what I

424
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:30.359
found out is we were all just trying to figure

425
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:34.079
it out. You don't need to put people on a pedestal.

426
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:36.359
If you're in the room, you deserve to be in

427
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:39.119
the room. So give yourself the grace to be able

428
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:39.880
to lean into that.

429
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:44.839
Absolutely, And what you're talking about is, you know all

430
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:50.720
of these strategies and tactics lead to high performance, So

431
00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:54.039
share with us you have worked with NFL and all

432
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:56.559
the results as to give us the details about it

433
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.200
and how that is margining and what have you observed.

434
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:05.160
So I think one of the biggest things you really

435
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:08.160
have to focus on mindset and the why behind the

436
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.400
you right, like why are you doing what you're doing?

437
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:16.079
Like what is your highest aim? And more often than not,

438
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:22.519
confidence is the commonality across all sports, all levels, no

439
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:25.400
matter if you're in sport or not. It confidence is

440
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:31.880
something that is giving yourself, you know, the grace, but

441
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:35.920
knowing that you're willing to do the work that you

442
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:38.480
must to get to where you want to go. And

443
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.440
sometimes that means put yourself in proximity around others who

444
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.480
are better. So you have to humble yourself. You have

445
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.160
to come with a humble sincerity to put yourself in

446
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:52.599
a room of people who are Hall of famers, people

447
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.799
who have successfully already produced the outcomes that you aim

448
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:03.160
to not only hit but beat. Humbling, So being able

449
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:09.200
to be uncomfortable and still perform effectively, well, that's the magic.

450
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:13.759
And it's sometimes just being in mere proximity to others

451
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:18.200
and know that there's no ego in this strive for meaning.

452
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.160
Understand what is the values that you know? What are

453
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:24.000
the values that you stand in so you can shoot

454
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:28.720
for your purpose. And until you understand the value piece

455
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:32.640
of this reputation is external based. You're one incident away

456
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.599
from that changing values. That's you. You have control over that.

457
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.880
So putting yourself in the space to say, well, how

458
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:43.920
could I make things a little bit more tangible. I'll

459
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:48.240
give you an example at an NFL athlete unbelievable stats

460
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.440
he's currently in in the NFL, And what was really

461
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:55.319
interesting about this was he was having confidence issues, but

462
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:58.640
his stats said everything he was doing was doing he

463
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:02.519
was going doing right. So you have to give him

464
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:05.559
the space to let him feel that. But at the

465
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:09.079
same time, he is earning his dollar and doing really

466
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:11.599
well for the organization. So now it's like, okay, well

467
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:14.640
what's really happening and you need to kind of take

468
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:19.240
a step back and really listen to comprehend and understand

469
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:22.920
what he's actually saying. And what we started to realize

470
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:25.119
was going back to what we talked about about these

471
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:30.839
little small bites, these small habits, these small opportunities culminate

472
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.240
into big gains. What we did was we broke the

473
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:39.720
actual NFL game down to what part he plays within that,

474
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.400
which became so much more bite sized. So NFL game

475
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:46.359
is two hundred and ten minutes, okay, and he is

476
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:50.680
in about fifty to sixty plays, so that you know,

477
00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:53.400
and each play takes. I asked him, you know how

478
00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:56.079
how many minutes or seconds does each play take? And

479
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:58.160
he goes about five to six seconds. I said, okay,

480
00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:00.400
so let me do the math. So you're telling about

481
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.200
five to six minutes is going to determine two hundred

482
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:09.359
and ten And so I gave him the space to

483
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:12.599
just consider it, and we sat still. It's not about

484
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:18.079
me solving the problem. It's about creating the space. Give perspective. Right,

485
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:22.240
this is effectiveness, So he can gap up because he

486
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:24.119
needs to choose to do it. You know what he

487
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:26.640
came back with. We took away the negative talk. You

488
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:28.359
know what he said, all I need is five minutes

489
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:32.880
of greatness. But that's such a tangible thing we all

490
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:36.000
can do, Like, let's break that day up and make

491
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:40.799
it bite size and give yourself the opportunity to put

492
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:43.720
yourself in the place to produce that negative talk, so

493
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:47.960
then you can focus on applying and being effective and

494
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:51.759
controlling what you can control. So that's an example of

495
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:53.519
something that's near and dear.

496
00:30:54.039 --> 00:31:00.200
Yeah, that's very powerful. So you talk about creating sure

497
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:04.680
with the connections. So whether it's high performing team or organizations,

498
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:05.240
how can they.

499
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:07.960
Go about it? So you have to meet people where

500
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:11.920
they're at? What does that mean? Culture really is a

501
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:17.200
combination of two really critical components. It's language and its relationships.

502
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:21.759
And my dear mentor John King, you know he he

503
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:25.359
is a pioneer and organizational culture and design. He wrote

504
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:27.839
the book Tribal Leadership and I'm mentored by him and

505
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:30.680
we talk about this a lot about you know, high

506
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:35.759
performing cultures. Meeting people where they're at and creating a

507
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:40.160
language in which you operate with is important because then

508
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:44.160
you no longer tolerate language that does not meet the

509
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:49.079
values that you all stand in. Okay, So creating and

510
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:51.480
meeting others where they're at, no matter where they're at,

511
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:53.799
so you can give them the space to be able

512
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:57.039
to go up as important. And of course relationships are

513
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:03.920
critical right understanding below the surface because culture happens one relationship,

514
00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:07.000
one person at a time. Most people think it happens

515
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:12.960
in groups. It doesn't. Culture happens when you feel kind

516
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:16.480
of you've broken down before you're breaking through, and you

517
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:19.640
feel you've gotten all the wards in the world. I

518
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.559
am great, you are not, and you look left and

519
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.680
right and realize that success is an infinite game and

520
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:27.759
you're never going to hit that thing because you hit

521
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:30.720
that thing and you want more. And what it does

522
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.920
is it forces you to be in a conscious state

523
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:39.720
of man. You know, my life's not great right now.

524
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:42.680
If I could just be around people who think bigger,

525
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:47.759
maybe something could change. And that right there, that's when

526
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:50.680
you start to find others within the organization who feel

527
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:54.440
that same way. You create those relationships in that language

528
00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:57.480
of something bigger, so then we start saying we are

529
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:01.279
great together, and then it becomes in as of leadership

530
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:04.880
and innovators and thinkers, which then builds a culture.

531
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:05.920
M hm.

532
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:09.920
So that's that's the way I see it often, And

533
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:12.480
it's hard because most organizations kind of stand that I

534
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:15.160
am great, you are not that power complex. But it's

535
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:21.599
bypassing that power complex and really truly authentically leaning into

536
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:28.200
bypassing that power for meaning, what are you going to contribute?

537
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:28.640
Right?

538
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:31.440
Really focusing on highest aim, things that are bigger than

539
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:33.720
any one self, but understanding the role in which you

540
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:34.480
serve for the whole.

541
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:39.000
Yeah, I really like that serve for the whole. And

542
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:42.680
when you do that, it goes back again to one

543
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.279
of my favorite examples.

544
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.200
Then for growing.

545
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:52.400
Competitions, there are athletes in that. Now think about it.

546
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:55.240
If everybody's not growing in the same direction, there's no

547
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:58.599
way your team is going to win. And organizations are

548
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:03.240
entrepreneurs with their team, it's the same thing. If not,

549
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:08.000
you got to bypass because in that everybody's got a spot,

550
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:11.800
everybody is playing a role, and then it comes together

551
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:15.920
to serve the whole. Very powerful. So tell us about

552
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:20.320
how you have pulled all of these learnings and you

553
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:22.880
did share that you have created a lab and how

554
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:24.159
are you making that difference?

555
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:29.039
So what I realized as I was transitioning in different

556
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:31.039
parts of my life, right, so sports was such a

557
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:34.239
huge component of my life. And then I aspired to

558
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:35.960
play in the Olympics, and they had taken top out

559
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.280
of the Olympics that year when I had graduated O nine,

560
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:42.480
the economy had collapsed. So that's an important thing because

561
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:45.880
that was a pivotal point for me to decide make

562
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:49.320
a choice. Am I going to survive this or am

563
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:53.119
I going to thrive? So I'm going to go back

564
00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:56.480
to my habits and rituals of working out doing things

565
00:34:56.519 --> 00:34:58.840
that I'm very comfortable with, so I can start to

566
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:04.360
get uncomfortable in stif function well. Right, So for me,

567
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:09.199
it was all about how do you transition? And oh

568
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:11.679
everybody did that? And what I realized is there was

569
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:15.039
no tools out there that helped with that transition. How

570
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:18.239
do you drive corporate athleticism, how do you not only

571
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:20.960
get into the role, but how do you thrive in

572
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:22.840
the role? And then how do you learn how to

573
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:26.079
fail fast? There were no tools showing how we're creating

574
00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:29.800
this space for you to understand, well, what are my biases?

575
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:34.280
Why am I holding myself back? So what we did was,

576
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:37.199
you know, I'm with my science backgrounds, I think it's

577
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:41.159
super important to encapsulate how we're all wired too. So

578
00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:45.119
there's the psychology aspect, but there's also the neuroscience considerations

579
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:49.400
of how we operate, how we're wired, and why we

580
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:53.280
are doing certain things so we can help reframe so

581
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:57.000
we can help put ourselves in the best situation. So

582
00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:01.079
what we did was we created the ability to map

583
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:06.880
individuals based off of their competition, people, their wellbeing and

584
00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:10.360
trainability capacities across a whole host of different things, and

585
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:13.119
it's based off of values, not beliefs, which is a

586
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:18.559
very important Thing's values can't be taught and skills can.

587
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:21.320
So we built that. And then what we did was

588
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.679
we were able to create a system where we can

589
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:29.360
measure and help you understand your emotions through text message.

590
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:32.679
So there's no app, none of that because we all

591
00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:34.920
have fifty million apps. So we thought, how do we

592
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.960
meet people where they're at in the language that they understand,

593
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:40.280
to be able to give them a tool of self

594
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:43.000
talk to help them reframe in real time whether I'm

595
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:46.039
able to be there with them or not. And we

596
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:50.320
created a mind lab that really has a good science

597
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:54.880
but also psychology aspect to evolving your mindset.

598
00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:03.559
Oh that's very powerful. Yeah, yeah. Are there any final

599
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:08.079
tips that you would like to give to our audience, Like,

600
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:10.440
you know, to bring up that high performance mindset.

601
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:14.800
It's okay to not get it right on the first go.

602
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:19.320
That doesn't mean you quit. When you have that moment

603
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:23.079
that your mind and everything in your body is telling

604
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:26.559
you to quit. All I'm asking you to do is

605
00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:28.920
just take one more step, give it one more day,

606
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:34.599
give it one more phone call. Because every outcome can

607
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:39.639
change from one interaction, absolutely, and I think that's that's

608
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:42.679
a pretty powerful thing that we're all going to face

609
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:45.679
in different things. And this is personal too, like personal life,

610
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:49.320
your professional life, and I really think it could help

611
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:51.440
I can you know, it can help you in a

612
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.519
very big way to just give it one more day.

613
00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:58.719
And where can people find you? How can they connect

614
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:02.239
with you? Share more about your program?

615
00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:07.199
Yeah, so please feel free to go to success beyond

616
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:10.519
game day dot com. And what's really great is this

617
00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:13.519
is not just a sports consideration, right, I mean this

618
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:16.519
is really around how do you leverage that vehicle of

619
00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:20.519
sports where it's a common global language. And you can

620
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:24.480
sign up for a mind lab that's fully automated and

621
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:26.960
you can have access to me through that, right, but

622
00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:29.199
you can access everything through the website, So you go

623
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:32.400
in there, and what's great is there's a whole host

624
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:36.280
of tools that some may work really well and some

625
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:38.280
may not be a fit. But it gives you the

626
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:41.519
option to meet you where you're at. So that's the

627
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:44.960
best place, and you can, you know, follow me on Instagram.

628
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:49.480
We do a lot across a lot of market verticals

629
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:53.440
and athletes and corporations executives, you name it, and I

630
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:56.800
think it's a good place to just follow. And we

631
00:38:56.840 --> 00:39:01.360
do a lot of giveaways and scholarships. So my Instagram

632
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:05.360
handle is Samantha s Card So yeah.

633
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:10.079
Oh fantastic. Any last steps for our audience.

634
00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:15.360
Fail often and fail fast, ego has no place here,

635
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:19.599
and you can do it. I mean, what if it

636
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:21.800
works instead of what if it doesn't? What if it does?

637
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:26.320
Absolutely, And Samantha, here's what I can tell you. I've

638
00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:31.159
not met anybody who is perfect all the time. And

639
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:34.159
if it's also something to think about is that if

640
00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:37.280
you're perfect, then there is no room for improvement. And

641
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:39.639
if there's no room for improvement, how can you get

642
00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:44.519
better and become that perfect? So perfectionism is a paradox

643
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:49.440
in itself. So thank you for joining us and sharing

644
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:50.599
