There are opportunities for giant growth and optimization without doing anything new for anyone, not just execs, looking to dial in their focus, emotional control, and more.

The NCAA's challenges with NIL aren’t just about paying athletes—they’re the result of decades of unchecked spending and poor systemic decisions. This article dives into the root causes of why college sports are at a breaking point, what leaders can learn from the mistakes, and how self-awareness and situational thinking apply to both organizations and personal growth. It’s not just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about building smarter systems from the ground up.

Sleep isn’t just something we do—it’s the foundation for how we think, feel, and perform.

Yet, it’s often treated as an afterthought. We plan projects, track workouts, and set goals for work, but when it comes to sleep, we wing it.

Bad sleep steals your edge. Six hours a night for two weeks leaves you functioning as if legally intoxicated. Less than five hours triples your likelihood of anger or stress during the day. And don’t expect to remember much—six hours of sleep means retaining 40% less information than a full night of rest.

Good sleep, though, is transformative. It sharpens focus, steadies emotions, and cuts the risk of heart disease in half.

Sleep isn’t just about what happens at night. It’s built on your choices throughout the day. Treat it like a system, make small adjustments, and let the results speak for themselves.

Sometimes, you need some faith to help yourself.

Break free from spiraling negativity: Discover how simple, intentional choices can reshape your mindset and boost resilience.

We’re told to aim high, dream big. We set ambitious goals—get the promotion, sell the company, win the medal. But when the thrill fades, we often ask, why doesn’t this feel as good as I thought it would?

Maybe it’s because the real target isn’t the achievement itself; it’s the feeling we think it will give us: pride, respect, confidence, or a little more peace. That’s the true goal.

Coaches and leaders can have outsized, if not the most, impact on someone’s development in their career. This is my story, these are my coaches, and these are the lessons I learned.

What’s the goal, and what matters most in achieving it? Whether you're leading a business or pushing a bobsled, these two questions are crucial for peak performance. But how do we know what to prioritize?

I sat down with three medalists from Paris 2024 and after three hours at dinner and an hour+ on stage with them, here's what I learned and was reminded about when handling negativity in our lives.

Sometimes bad things happen. It’s part of life. Sometimes we see it coming, sometimes we don’t, but we still choose to move forward, despite the risks. It could be a major event like a car accident or the gradual loss of control over our time. Maybe it's a career change with its own risks and rewards. Whatever it is, tomorrow still arrives and we have decisions to make.

A conversation with my seven-year-old turned into a lot more than I bargained for that quickly turned into diving into mattering, leadership, and how our own choices play into so many aspects of our lives.

Anyone striving to do big things often find themselves in a silent, internal battle—one between the pull of gratefulness and the push of discontent. 

As the world watches the Paris Olympics, the pinnacle of human athleticism and dedication, viewers might notice a common, yet intriguing, phenomenon: athletes yelling at the peak of their performance.

Let’s reframe the insanity of the pursuit of greatness to what it is, thousands of mini-bets on our own futures.

Have we been lied to about this self-awareness thing? Well, not entirely… but there certainly is more than meets the eye.
