Rewind: Season 2, Episode 2: A Lesson from Coach K & Brad Stevens

If you’re new to our show, each of the previous 12 seasons have had a different theme, a different format, and a different approach to unpacking and dissecting both individual and organizational performance.

These Rewind episodes take a look back at some my favorite shows in case you missed them the first time around… or in case you’d like to give them a second listen.

I hope you enjoy, and more importantly, I hope this Rewind episode helps you Raise Your Game!

In this episode I am joined by Kyla O’Connell, a top executive and Senior Partner at Asher (a world renowned sales and marketing company). Kyla is a phenomenal speaker, sales trainer, facilitator, and coach. Kyla and I unpack and explore my signature story of the Duke vs Butler rematch of 2010 and why it is so important to know what gives you a competitive edge and how this directly applies to effective sales and marketing. You’ll hear this story from when it was performed on stage during one of my 2019 keynotes.

What makes the best the best? Ultimately the best are where they are because of the mindset, habits, and rituals they have—both in their respective “arenas,” but also in private, during the unseen hours. Success isn’t something that happens to you. It's something you attract and you create. Successful people do the little things better than everyone else because they know all the big things arise from them. The highest performers in all walks of life have taken full ownership. They got to where they are and have stayed there because they have chosen to establish, tweak and repeat positive habits. They understand that you can’t be selective when it comes to excellence, that how we do anything is how we do everything.

Sustain Your Game teaches you how to bring your A game to every area of your life. With advice from top CEOs, journalists, social scientists, and more, you'll learn the framework for how to beat stress, stagnation, and burnout. Sustain Your Game will help you be the best in your arena, wherever that may be.
