Dabo Swinney on Leading from the Heart – Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney joined me as a guest before the start of the 2018 season. Here are my favorite takeaways from our conversation: 1) Serve their heart and not their talent; 2) Bloom where you’re planted; and 3) Let failure develop you, not define you.
Marcus Buckingham on Nine Lies About Work – Author Marcus Buckingham joined me to discuss his book, Nine Lies About Work. In our conversation, Marcus challenges many of our common assumptions about talent, leadership and high performance.

You’ll have to listen in to the full episode to hear all nine
Inky Johnson on Overcoming Adversity – Inky Johnson’s NFL dream was shattered when a routine tackle abruptly ended his football career and permanently paralyzed his right arm. Instead of being defeated, Inky channeled his hardship into a powerful message of overcoming adversity. Inky joined me to talk about how to embrace the daily challenges of life to live with a greater purpose.
Angela Duckworth on Why Gritty People Are More Successful – Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth is one of those game-changer books that I recommend to every business leader, coach and parent because it will change your mindset and the way you behave.

Nate Oats on Embracing Your Leadership Journey – College basketball coach Nate Oats joined me on my podcast right before he led the Buffalo Bulls to the NCAA tournament last year. The Bulls came up short in the tournament but they had a winning season, and Coach Oats was chosen as a Naismith National Coach of the Year semifinalist.

In our conversation we talk about his unconventional rise to the top of the coaching world and how he built a winning culture at Buffalo.
