My Guest: Dan Coyle is a New York Times bestselling author who's spent the last two decades studying what makes great teams great. He wrote The Talent Code, The Culture Code, and now Flourish—books that have shaped how millions of people think about skill development, team culture, and meaningful connection. He works with the Cleveland Guardians as a special advisor on culture and performance. We recorded this one together in Cleveland. Notes: Find your yellow doors. Most of us go through life looking for green doors (clearly open paths) and red doors (obviously closed paths). But yellow doors are different. They're out of the corner of your eye, things that make you uncomfortable or feel brand new. That's where life actually happens. We think life is a straight line from A to B to C, but it's not. Life isn't a game... It's complex, living, shifting. Yellow doors are opportunities to create meaningful connections and explore new paths. "Life deepens when we become aware of the yellow doors, the ones we glimpse out of the corner of our eye." The craft journey always involves getting simpler. Simple is not easy. The great ones have their craft to where there's a simplicity to it. In this world of clutter and noise, it's easy to want to compete with energy and speed, but the stuff that really resonates is quieter and simpler. Be a beginner again in something. With climbing, Dan's at the very bottom of the craft mountain. With writing, he's somewhere in the middle. It's fun to have a couple of zones in your life where you're a beginner. It's liberating, but it also develops empathy. Some stuff looks very simple, but isn't. Every good story has three elements. There's some desire (I want to get somewhere), there's some obstacle (this thing standing in my way), and there's some transformation on that journey. Teaching teaches you. Coaching Zoe's writing team helped Dan, and then Zoe ended up coaching Dan. It was never "let me transmit all my wisdom to my daughter." It was a rich two-way dialogue that helped both of them. Suffering together is powerful. Doing hard things together with other people, untangling things together (literally and figuratively), and being vulnerable together. That's culture code stuff. Whether it's skiing with your kids, seeing them fall and get back up, or being trapped underground like the Chilean miners. Behind every individual success is a community. Dan dedicates all his books to his wife, Jenny (except one). Growing up, he had this idea of individual success, individual greatness. But when you scratch one of those individual stories, what's revealed is a community of people. Jenny is the ecosystem that lets Dan do what he does. Going from writing project to writing project, hoping stuff works out, exploring... it's not efficient. It's not getting on the train to work and coming home at five o'clock. It's "I think I need to go to Russia" or "I need to dig into this." She's been more than a partner, an incredible teammate.  Great organizations aren't machines; they're rivers. The old model of leadership is the pilot of the boat, the person flipping levers who has all the answers. That's how most of us grew up thinking about leaders. But Indiana football, the SEALs, Pixar... when you get close to these organizations, they're not functioning like machines. Machines are controlled from the outside and produce predictable results. These organizations are more like energy channels that are exploring. They're like rivers. How do you make a river flow? Give it a horizon to flow toward (where are we going?), set up river banks (where we're not gonna go), but inside that space create energy and agency. Questions do that. Leaders who are good at lobbing questions in and then closing their mouth... that's the most powerful skill. Great teams have peer leaders who sacrifice. Since Indiana football's fresh in our minds... Peer leaders who sacrifice for the team are really big. Fernando Mendoza got smoked, battered, hammered, and he kept going without complaint. In his interview afterward, he talks about his teammates. That's the DNA of great teams. Adversity reveals everything. The litmus test: in moments of terrible adversity, what's the instinct? Are we turning toward each other or away from each other? You could see it in that game. The contrast between the two teams. When things went bad, they responded very differently. The coach isn't as important as you think. Coaches can create the conditions for the team to emerge, but great teams sometimes pit themselves against the coach. The US Olympic hockey team of 1980 would be an example. They came together against Herb Brooks. So coaching sets the tone, but it's not as big a part of DNA as people think. Curiosity keeps great teams from drinking their own Kool-Aid. The teams that consistently succeed don't get gassed up on their own stuff. They don't believe in their success. They're not buying into "now I'm at the top of the mountain, everything's fine." They get curious about that next mountain, curious about each other, curious about the situation. They're willing to let go of stuff that didn't work. Honor the departed. When someone gets traded in pro sports, it's like death. Their locker's empty like a gravestone. What the coach at OKC does: on the day after somebody gets traded, he spends a minute of practice expressing his appreciation for that person who's gone. How simple and human is that? How powerful? What makes people flourish is community. It's not a bunch of individuals that are individually together. Can they connect? Can they love their neighbor and support their neighbor? That's magical when it happens. The Chilean miners created civilization through rituals. 33 men, 2,000 feet underground, trapped for 69 days. The first couple hours went as bad as it could. People eating all the food, scrambling, yelling. Then they circled up and paused. The boss took off his helmet and said, "There are no bosses and no employees. We're all one here." Their attention shifted from terror and survival to the larger connection they had with each other. They self-organized. Built sleeping areas, rationed food, created games with limited light. Each meal they'd share a flake of tuna at the same time. When they got contact with the surface, they sang the Chilean national anthem together. They created a little model civilization that functioned incredibly well. Stopping and looking creates community. What let the miners flourish wasn't information or analysis. It was letting go. Having this moment of meaning, creating presence. All the groups Dan visited had this ability in all the busyness to stop and ask: What are we really about? What matters here? What is our community? Why are we here? What is bigger than us that we're connected to? They grounded themselves in those moments over and over. Getting smart only gets you so far. There's a myth in our culture that individuals can flourish. You see someone successful and think "that individual's flourishing." But underneath them, invisibly, they're part of a larger community. We only become our best through other people. We have a pronoun problem: I, me, when actually it's we and us. Self-improvement isn't as powerful as shared improvement. Ask energizing questions. "What's energizing you right now?" is a great question. "What do you want more of?" "What do you want to do differently?" (not "what are you doing poorly"). "Paint a picture five years from now, things go great, give me an average Tuesday." What you're trying to do is get people out of their narrow boredom, let go a little, surrender a little, open up and point out things in the corner of their eye. When things go rough, go help somebody. Craig Counsell on how to bounce back when you're having a bad day: "I try to go help somebody." That's it. Create presence conditions. The ski trips, the long drives, the shared meals, no phones. Schedule them. This is how connection happens, whether it's with your family or your people at work. Leaders who sustain excellence are intensely curious. Dan walked into the Guardians office expecting to pepper them with questions. The opposite happened. Jay, Chris, and Josh kept asking him question after question, wanting to learn. Leaders who sustain excellence have this desire to learn, improve, get better. Ask better questions. Actually listen. Ask follow-up questions. Curiosity is also the ultimate way to show love. Reflection Questions Dan says yellow doors are "out of the corner of your eye, things that make you uncomfortable or feel brand new." What's one yellow door you've been walking past lately? What's stopping you from opening it this week?The Chilean miners' boss took off his white helmet and said, "There are no bosses and no employees." Think about a moment of adversity your team is facing right now. Are you turning toward each other or away? What's one specific action you could take this week to help your team turn toward each other? Dan emphasizes we have a "pronoun problem" (I, me vs. we, us) and that "self-improvement isn't as powerful as shared improvement." Who are the 2-3 people you could invite into your growth journey right now? What would it look like to pursue excellence together instead of alone?

What if one of the world's most enduring mysteries isn't just folklore—but a closely guarded reality that governments have worked to suppress? For centuries, Indigenous peoples across North America have honored the Sasquatch (known as Dzoonakwa among the Kwakwaka'wakw and by many other sacred names) as a revered being woven into stories, ceremonies, art, and deep traditional knowledge. Yet mainstream society dismisses it as myth. Could there be more to the silence than skepticism?In this riveting episode, we welcome Thomas Sewid, founder of Sasquatch Island—a pioneering platform (sasquatchisland.com and the acclaimed Sasquatch Island community) that has become a leading voice in redefining Sasquatch through authentic Indigenous lenses. A proud member of the Kwakwaka'wakw and Cree First Nations, Thomas brings decades of lived experience in the remote wilderness of British Columbia's Broughton Archipelago, combined with generations of tribal wisdom.Join us as Thomas reveals compelling first-hand accounts he's uncovered—including startling reports from military personnel and government sources—that suggest official involvement in the Sasquatch phenomenon may run far deeper than anyone imagines. Why the secrecy? What do these insiders know, and why has this knowledge been withheld from the public?From ancient Indigenous legends that portray Sasquatch as a guardian of the land to modern encounters and potential cover-ups, this conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about one of North America's greatest enigmas. Prepare for mind-expanding insights, exclusive stories, and a perspective that bridges cultural heritage with unexplained reality.Don't miss this powerful exploration—because the truth about Sasquatch might be closer, and more carefully concealed, than we ever realized.Gear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

Guardians of the Galaxy wasn't just a cosmic side quest — it was the emotional on-ramp to the entire Infinity Saga. In this retrospective episode of Marvel Maniac, we look back at the humble beginnings of Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Groot, and Drax, while viewing the film through the lens of everything that comes later — from Infinity War and Endgame to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. From the iconic opening set to “Come and Get Your Love,” to the underplayed introduction of the Power Stone, to the quiet seeds planted for Thanos and the tragedy that follows — this episode is about why Guardians still matters, and why it hits harder now than it ever did in 2014.

Highlights: The Browns have hired experienced offensive coach Todd Monken as their 19th full-time head coach. Initial fan reaction to the hire was mixed, but winning will ultimately determine his approval. Inside Monken's difficult 2019 season in Cleveland Monken is known for a blunt, no-nonsense coaching philosophy focused on accountability and winning. The Browns prioritized fixing their "broken" and lowest-scoring offense by hiring Monken over defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. As a play-calling specialist rather than a "CEO" type, Monken's success will heavily depend on hiring a strong, autonomous defensive coordinator. Why it's unlikely that defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will return after being passed over for the head coaching position. Why Monken's immediate priorities should be to establish an offensive vision and build trust with defensive players who supported Schwartz. The Cavs' recent success is credited to a dramatic improvement in their defensive performance. A debate has emerged over Darius Garland's future role, with Terry suggesting he could lead the second unit upon his return from injury. The Guardians signed star third baseman Jose Ramirez to a significant four-year, $107 million contract extension. Ramirez's deal, which includes deferred money and a hometown discount, is highlighted as a rare act of player loyalty in modern sports. Remembering the late Gary Briggs, a witty and beloved former trainer for the Cavaliers. A listener recalls the legendary 1968 World Series story of the Detroit Tigers moving Gold Glove outfielder Mickey Stanley to shortstop. Learn more about your ad choices.

José Ramírez has been a member of the Cleveland Guardians organization since 2011 and is on track to one day be immortalized in Cooperstown with the greats of baseball. However, over the weekend, the seven-time All-Star signed an extension to stay in Cleveland until 2032, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest to ever play for the franchise.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the deal that will keep Ramírez with the Guardians into his age-39 season. The six-time Silver Slugger's extension, while surprising, isn't shocking considering his love for Cleveland. But when his contract is up, will he be considered the best player in Guardians history?Later, Jordan and Jake break down the Texas Rangers–Washington Nationals trade that sent a package of prospects to the nation's capital for 26-year-old MacKenzie Gore. With the Rangers hoping that Gore pans out to the uber-prospect he once was, how important will his continued development be for the Rangers to win this deal? The guys then talk about MLB Network's 2026 Top 100 Players and what changes they would make to the list.1:20 – The Opener: J-Ram stays in Cleveland27:49 – Around the League: Rangers trade for Gore42:57 – Harrison Bader to the Giants49:50 – Nuclear Overreaction: Top 100 list58:11 – Top 10 players debate Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

We appreciate PCA demonstrating excellent cross-training tendencies and celebrate José Ramírez locking in the Guardians for life. Winter ball demonstrates that more teams need dogs and Pottymouth loves to say “Anzoátegui.” And no episode can go by without a reference to a salary cap.

Transcript:Nl: De Keukenhof tuinen waren in de winter rustig en stil.En: The Keukenhof gardens were calm and quiet in the winter.Nl: Sneeuw bedekte de paden en de groene struiken gaven het landschap een serene sfeer.En: Snow covered the paths, and the green shrubs gave the landscape a serene atmosphere.Nl: In deze kalmte wandelde Bram, de toegewijde hovenier.En: In this tranquility walked Bram, the dedicated gardener.Nl: Zijn droom was altijd de tuinen te beschermen tegen gevaar.En: His dream had always been to protect the gardens from danger.Nl: Hij kende elke hoek en elke plant, maar vandaag was anders.En: He knew every corner and every plant, but today was different.Nl: Op een koude ochtend ontdekte Bram iets vreemds.En: On a cold morning, Bram discovered something strange.Nl: Een zeldzame bloem, de "Gouden Tulp", bloeide fel geel in de sneeuw.En: A rare flower, the "Gouden Tulp", was blooming bright yellow in the snow.Nl: Deze bloem was bijna een mythe, en het bloeide normaal nooit in deze tijd van het jaar.En: This flower was almost a myth, and it normally never bloomed at this time of year.Nl: Het nieuws verspreidde zich snel, en al gauw kwamen Lieke en Sanne naar de tuinen.En: The news spread quickly, and soon Lieke and Sanne came to the gardens.Nl: Lieke had altijd gehoopt deze bloem ooit te zien.En: Lieke had always hoped to see this flower one day.Nl: Ze was dol op planten en bloemen.En: She loved plants and flowers.Nl: Sanne was wetenschapper en onderzocht klimaatanomalieën.En: Sanne was a scientist studying climate anomalies.Nl: Beiden waren verrast door Bram's vondst.En: Both were surprised by Bram's discovery.Nl: "We moeten deze bloem beschermen," zei Lieke vastbesloten.En: "We must protect this flower," said Lieke determinedly.Nl: Bram twijfelde eerst om hulp te accepteren, maar hij wist dat hij alleen niet genoeg kon doen.En: Bram was initially hesitant to accept help, but he knew he couldn't do enough on his own.Nl: Hij besloot Lieke en Sanne te vertrouwen.En: He decided to trust Lieke and Sanne.Nl: Samen vormden ze een team, vastberaden de bloem te documenteren en te beschermen.En: Together, they formed a team, determined to document and protect the flower.Nl: Terwijl ze foto's maakten en aantekeningen noteerden, begon de lucht te betrekken.En: As they took photos and noted down observations, the sky began to darken.Nl: Een zware winterstorm kwam snel opzetten.En: A heavy winter storm was quickly approaching.Nl: Sneeuwvlokken dwarrelden neer, steeds heftiger.En: Snowflakes started to fall, increasingly intense.Nl: De wind huilden door de kale bomen.En: The wind howled through the bare trees.Nl: Bram wist dat ze weinig tijd hadden.En: Bram knew they had little time.Nl: Ze schuilden in een nabij gelegen schuur, hun adem wolkjes in de koude lucht.En: They took shelter in a nearby shed, their breath forming clouds in the cold air.Nl: Samen maakten ze een plan.En: Together they made a plan.Nl: Bram en Sanne bouwden een tijdelijke afscherming om de bloem te beschermen tegen de elementen.En: Bram and Sanne built a temporary shelter to protect the flower from the elements.Nl: Lieke zorgde ervoor dat er genoeg foto's waren om de bloem aan de wereld te tonen.En: Lieke ensured there were enough photos to show the flower to the world.Nl: De storm woedde hevig die nacht, maar de volgende ochtend scheen de zon opnieuw.En: The storm raged fiercely that night, but the next morning the sun shone again.Nl: De bloem stond er nog steeds, beschermd door de inspanningen van het kleine team.En: The flower was still standing, protected by the efforts of the small team.Nl: Bram voelde een warme trots zinderen in zijn borst.En: Bram felt a warm pride swelling in his chest.Nl: Hij had geleerd dat samenwerking essentieel was om zulke natuurlijke wonderen te bewaren.En: He had learned that collaboration was essential to preserving such natural wonders.Nl: Met de verzamelde gegevens en foto's keerden Sanne en Lieke terug naar hun kringen.En: With the collected data and photos, Sanne and Lieke returned to their circles.Nl: De wetenschappelijke gemeenschap werd overtuigd van de zeldzaamheid en schoonheid van de "Gouden Tulp".En: The scientific community was convinced of the rarity and beauty of the "Gouden Tulp".Nl: Bram zag de Keukenhof opnieuw ontwaken onder de tweelingstralen van zon en sneeuw.En: Bram watched the Keukenhof awaken once more under the twin rays of sun and snow.Nl: Terwijl de zon opkwam, voelde Bram zich niet alleen tevreden, maar ook verrijkt.En: As the sun rose,

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): With news coming down that Jose Ramirez is signing a contract extension with the Guardians (even though he had three years left on his current deal), Bradfo felt it was a good time to sing the praises of the Cleveland infielder. This is, after all, a player who is making an extremely strong case for the Hall of Fame, while having finished in the Top 10 of the American League MVP voting eight times. It's a good conversation about a very good player. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Highlights: NFL coaching searches are highly unpredictable, with success often coming from candidates with unassuming résumés rather than just impressive ones. Many elite NFL coaches, like John Harbaugh and Andy Reid, were hired from non-coordinator roles, proving that a candidate's title doesn't always predict success. The rapid rise of young coaches like Grant Udinski highlights that potential and impressing the right people can create a fast track to prominent NFL roles. The "Moneyball" principle applies to coaching hires; despite confidence in interviews, success is unpredictable as the head coach role requires intangible skills beyond X's and O's. Sean McDermott is considered a strong coaching candidate due to his proven track record of building a winning culture in Buffalo and developing QB Josh Allen. Despite regular-season success, McDermott's legacy is hampered by his inability to win a Super Bowl, consistently falling short in critical playoff moments. The discussion highlights a preference for experienced, known commodities like McDermott over high-risk, high-reward "hot" candidates to minimize the gamble of a coaching search. Jim Schwartz successfully turned around a winless Lions team but ultimately had a losing record. The Cleveland Browns' head coaching job is viewed as less attractive ("bottom tier") than others due to organizational instability and immense pressure. "Watson exhaustion"—the pressure to make the Deshaun Watson trade succeed—is fueling organizational turmoil and staff turnover within the Browns. An intriguing possibility for the Browns is hiring a veteran defensive head coach like McDermott while retaining Jim Schwartz as DC to form a powerful leadership duo. Monday's Cavs loss to OKC highlighted a philosophical flaw, exposing their offense-first "finesse" style as vulnerable against tougher, more disciplined defensive teams. The underperformance of highly-paid Cavaliers veterans like Lonzo Ball and DeAndre Hunter is a major factor in the team's current struggles. Amidst rising MLB salaries, Terry suggest the Guardians give Jose Ramirez a "good faith" bonus on his team-friendly contract to acknowledge his value.
