Although unnamed in the episode, I speak on the moment that Coach Dane Johnson entered, and ultimately changed my life. By changing our culture, it created a brotherhood. When things got tough, I faltered. He showed me that my fears and doubts, were not reality, but something I conjured up in my own head. He showed that with hard work and dedication, I could have whatever I wanted in this life. This "strong culture" has been a non-negotiable in every other venture I've ever been a part of, because frankly, I NEED that surrounding. How is your culture impacting your family, your work and your life?

The culture, the wins, the losses, the hard work, the adversities, the failures...... These are just a few steps that led Craig to the loving husband, father, coach, and human being that he is today.

When and where does “winning” take place? Is it only a win if you get the desired end result? Is it in the process? Emmitt Smith lays out the perfect example, as to what I believe, is the winning formula. Consistency and hard work trumps talent, whether it's in sports, life, or business.
