You already know where to start. What scares you is finding out you might not be good enough once you do.Lewis goes solo here on the fear that hides inside preparation. He read every page of a 500-page book before his first Tony Robbins interview and still walked in nervous, and that nervousness never actually went away.Then there was Kobe Bryant. A 5pm phone call the night before, an interview the next morning, 20 minutes, a publicist handing over a list of banned topics, other crews waiting in the hallway. With almost no prep time, it became one of the best conversations Lewis has ever recorded, because he stopped performing his homework and just stayed present and curious.He gets honest about launching The School of Greatness with an iPhone and no idea what he was doing, asking questions he thought were basic and dumb. Confidence came after the action, never before it. Perfectionism and procrastination wear the same costume, and self-trust only gets built by surviving the attempt.Ask yourself the uncomfortable question: are you still preparing because the work requires it, or because preparing feels safer than beginning? Whatever you have been circling for months, you will want to take one real step on it today.Make Money EasyThe School of GreatnessThe Greatness MindsetThe Mask of MasculinityIn this episode you will:Put ChatGPT to work on your most ambitious ideas and projects.Spot the moment preparation quietly turns into a sophisticated form of procrastinationMove through the terror of not feeling ready by understanding that confidence arrives after the action, not before itSteal the mindset that let Lewis turn a Kobe Bryant interview booked the night before into one of his best conversations everAnswer the question underneath your stalling: what are you actually waiting forBuild real self trust by proving to yourself that failure never gets the final wordMore SOG episodes we think you'll love!

Greatness doesn't come with a tidy checklist. In Winning: The Unforgiving Race to Greatness, performance coach Tim Grover—whose clients included Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade—explores the fear, focus, and “good selfishness” required to stay at the top. Then Steven Kotler offers a complementary playbook in The Art of Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer, showing how motivation, learning, creativity, and flow can turn seemingly unreachable goals into repeatable progress.

Should the next generation of collectors want the same cards we do? Chris McGill brings a fascinating question to the panel: when new collectors enter the hobby, should they buy into the hierarchy of cards, players and grails that previous generations have established, or should they use their fresh perspective to discover entirely new collecting lanes? Jeremy, David Chase, Joe Poirot and Joshua Adams dig into what that means in a hobby where many of the cards longtime collectors grew up chasing have become extraordinarily expensive. Are newcomers really best served spending huge amounts of money chasing the same Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Mickey Mantle and other established grails everyone already knows? Or are there overlooked players, sets, inserts, eras and cards sitting right in front of us simply because the existing hobby establishment hasn't decided they matter yet? The panel discusses herd mentality, questioning conventional hobby wisdom, the importance of understanding why certain cards became iconic and the difference between teaching someone WHAT to collect and teaching them HOW to think about collecting. Jeremy argues that your approach may ultimately depend on where you fall on the Hobby Spectrum. Someone primarily interested in making money may be better served understanding and participating in established markets, while a collector has considerably more freedom to explore, experiment and build something completely unique. The conversation also explores whether the collecting experience many longtime hobbyists enjoyed growing up can even be recreated today. Packs are different. Prices are different. Information is everywhere. Market data is instantaneous. And newcomers arrive in a hobby with far more infrastructure, money and established narratives than previous generations ever encountered. So maybe the goal isn't to recreate the old hobby. Maybe it's helping the next generation find its own. Subscribe to Sports Cards Live on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.

#TheShop is talking hoops from every angle this week with two vets bringing the NBA and WNBA into the same conversation. Hosts Steelo Brim and Travis Bennett are joined by basketball legends Matt Barnes and Nneka Ogwumike to talk shop about the wild Daejon Love story involving an alleged $1.3 million scam, the fallout from the Clippers’ massive Kawhi Leonard penalties, and who they’re picking as their dream 2-on-2 partners. Nneka gets real about the rise of women’s sports, the growing pains that have come with it, the loss of Kobe Bryant and what he meant to the game. Matt has some words for NBA officiating and upgrading the referees is #1 on his list. They also get into the emotions athletes face when it’s finally time to walk away from the game. 0:00 - Intro00:53 - Daejon Love and Scamming Culture07:15 - Advice for a rookie in the WNBA09:30 - Does Media Insert Themselves To Create New Narratives13:39 - The Relationship Between The WNBA and NBA19:33 - The 1v1 Basketball Scene24:55 - Nneka and Matt's Early Upbringing in Sports27:10 - Matt Barnes Speaks On His Love For Baseball32:50 - Which Sports are Best to Watch In Person35:58 - Is Sports Betting Good or Bad For Sports39:56 - What Nneka Would Do as WNBA Commissioner45:20 - Professional Overseas Hoops51:00 - Are People Using the WNBA as a Platform for Attention53:03 - The Face of The W and NBA01:00:12 - Nneka on her Final Season01:07:01 - Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing01:11:20 - Good and Bad Sports ActingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sports card grading will never be the same. Jeremy officially unveils SPA Grading, the hobby's first full-service card wellness experience, where every card deserves a little self-care. From soaking away decades of unwanted memories to massaging out creases and wrinkles, manicuring those troublesome edges and applying a little makeup where necessary, SPA takes your card through the entire process before sending it to an entirely independent and conveniently uninformed grading department. And don't forget the final touch: a genuine SPA eye appeal sticker. From soak to sticker. Leighton Sheldon and David Chase react to the revolutionary new service, its nine-second grading process, potential upcharges, crossovers, international expansion plans and what happens when demand inevitably overwhelms capacity. Before the SPA opens its doors, Leighton also shares his latest Kobe Bryant pickup and explains why rare memorabilia sometimes requires throwing the comps aside and trusting your own instincts. Then Steve Grad joins the show. The longtime autograph authentication expert and Pawn Stars regular talks about his years running PSA/DNA, the early evolution of third-party autograph authentication and the massive surge in vintage non-sports collecting. Steve discusses the explosion in 1977 Star Wars cards, the emergence of "rookie card" terminology in the non-sports world and watching cards he once owned reach extraordinary prices. Then the conversation turns to a fascinating problem: secretarial autographs. From Luka Doncic to Shaquille O'Neal and Ewan McGregor, how can an autograph that wasn't actually signed by the celebrity or athlete make its way into the hobby? And what happens when the questionable autograph was inserted directly into a pack? Plus, Steve shares stories from Pawn Stars, including what happens when someone really doesn't like being told their autograph isn't authentic.

Become the 1% — not through talent, luck or shortcuts, but through the ordinary work repeated for years after everyone else has already stopped. The top one percent isn't a different species. They just kept doing the boring thing on the days it stopped feeling meaningful. That's the entire gap, and it's smaller than most people want to believe. It's about building a strong mindset, mastering self-discipline, and pushing forward when motivation fades. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just consistency, resilience, and growth.Featuring words of wisdom from David Goggins, Jocko Willink, Alex Hormozi, Joe Rogan, Chris Williamson, Jordan Peterson, Robert Green, Miles Adcox, Russ, Barry Hearn, Rick Rubin, Tom Platz, Tony Robbins, Dr Mike Israetel, Jay Williams, Bedros Keuilian, Sam Sulek, Tom Brady, V.J.

Patrick Renna The Sandlot fans know as Ham Porter, but there's much more to his story. Patrick Renna joins The Slide Podcast to talk about The Sandlot, his new series Dugout Dads, youth baseball, fatherhood, acting and what it's like carrying the legacy of one of the most beloved baseball movies of all time. Thirty years after The Sandlot became a baseball classic, Patrick Renna joins The Slide Podcast to talk about growing up, becoming a dad, coaching youth baseball and bringing some familiar faces back together for his new project, Dugout Dads. Patrick takes Coach Aaron, Mike Check Mariah and Coach Nate Weber behind the scenes of creating Dugout Dads and explains why he wanted to make something new instead of simply creating a sequel to The Sandlot. The conversation gets real about youth sports, baseball parents, pressure, competition and why kids should play because they love the game—not because adults are trying to turn them into the next superstar. Patrick also shares advice for young athletes and aspiring actors about rejection, preparation, work ethic and learning from failure. He talks about the influence of Kobe Bryant, his experience working with Paulie Shore on Son in Law, James Earl Jones, the lasting impact of The Sandlot and what it's like seeing multiple generations grow up with a movie he helped create. And, of course, The Slide had to ask the important questions—including Patrick's favorite cereal and what walk-up song he'd choose with the bases loaded. It's a nostalgic, funny and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about baseball, movies, parenting and why sometimes the best thing you can do is just play.

George Mumford, globally recognized mindfulness and performance expert, sports psychologist, bestselling author, teacher, and speaker, joins me on this episode. George has worked with some of the world's greatest athletes, including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and championship teams coached by Phil Jackson.

Bling / Michael Matthews joins the podcast for a wide-ranging conversation spanning his entire career — from a motocross-obsessed kid in Canberra who stumbled into cycling, to Australian champion within six months, to a decade-plus at the top of the World Tour.Bling opens up on the origin of his nickname, meeting Kobe Bryant in a hotel elevator during his first year as a pro, and the eerie parallel of watching LeBron James walk through a crowd in Paris untouched. He walks through the highs — winning the Green Jersey with Sunweb, the emotional 2017 Tour de France stage win in Rodez two years after breaking ribs on the same climb, the legendary Green Edge "Aussie rock star" era — and the lows, including a horror pre-Tour crash in 2014 and a brutal, injury-riddled run through the 2015 Tour just weeks before his wedding.He also reflects candidly on team culture then versus now, what he sees of his younger self in Tadej Pogačar, the role his wife and daughter play in keeping him motivated at 35, and why the World Championships remains the one jersey that's slipped through his fingers — with Canada, a course that's been kind to him before, right around the corner.

The September 6, 1976 issue of Sports Illustrated — the magazine's annual College Football Preview — carried the bold headline "Michigan Is No. 1," featuring a close-up cover shot of Wolverines sophomore quarterback Rick Leach. The pick reflected genuine optimism around Bo Schembechler's program, with Leach, a dual-threat talent, taking over as full-time starter after a rocky freshman finish that had cost Michigan a shot at the Rose Bowl. That '76 season proved Leach's breakout campaign — he'd start all 12 games, lead Michigan to a 10-2 record and a No. 3 final ranking, and never lose to Ohio State again — making SI's early faith in him look remarkably well-placed. Notre Dame's preseason outlook that same year was far more tempered, coming a year removed from Rudy Ruettiger's iconic final play against Georgia Tech in November 1975. Second-year coach Dan Devine, still working to fill Ara Parseghian's enormous shoes, had endured a rocky 8-3 debut season that didn't include a bowl bid, and a promising young backup quarterback named Joe Montana suffered a season-ending shoulder separation before 1976 even began, forcing Devine to lean again on returning starter Rick Slager. The Irish opened ranked No. 11 but were promptly throttled 31-10 by ninth-ranked Pittsburgh and Tony Dorsett — ironically, a Panthers team that would go on to win the national championship that year. Notre Dame recovered to finish 9-3 with a Gator Bowl win over Penn State, quietly building the foundation that would carry Montana and the Irish to a national title just one season later. Ruettiger's own path to Notre Dame was defined almost entirely by persistence rather than natural talent — undersized, dyslexic, and academically underprepared, he was rejected multiple times before finally gaining admission in 1974, then walked onto the football team with no scholarship and virtually no chance of meaningful playing time. His singular moment of glory came on that November day against Georgia Tech, when Devine sent him in for the final play, allowing Rudy to record a symbolic sack and get carried off the field by his teammates. Nearly two decades later, his story became the 1993 film "Rudy," starring Sean Astin, which took real dramatic liberties but nonetheless struck such an emotional chord that it transformed Ruettiger's story into an enduring symbol of perseverance recognized far beyond the world of sports. Rudy joins us to walk through the three dreams that defined his life — getting into Notre Dame, making the football team, and finally, the achievement he says mattered most, actually earning his Notre Dame degree. He shares a remarkable story about Kobe Bryant once telling him how deeply his journey had resonated with him, reflects on which was truly harder — cracking Notre Dame's admissions wall or getting his story made into a movie — and takes us back to the gut-wrenching anxiety of the week before the Georgia Tech game, when he feared his moment might never come. And he explains that his lone sack wasn't luck at all, but years of preparation meeting a single instant. A man who built an entire life chasing down dreams, and who'll tell you the journey mattered every bit as much as the destination, shares his incredible story this week — Rudy, on Past Our Prime.

But should they exist?Let me start by saying that I get it. A few years ago, I read a fascinating piece about how professional basketball had lost its cool factor. The current stars of the NBA, like Jayson Tatum and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, just don't have it. They aren't charismatic in the same ways Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan or Dr. J were. They aren't eccentric, or captivating, or culture-defining. “No aura,” as the kids say. Spend a few minutes watching Elon Musk work a room or Mark Zuckerberg testify before Congress, and it's hard not to get a similar feeling. These guys do not exude aura. They don't present as classy or high-minded or suave, which — frankly — is how we prefer our rich people. They are awkward and make bad jokes and laugh in uncomfortable ways. It at least feels like it was different before. The elites we grew up reading about operated in a classy manner, offered timeless wisdom or expressed humility when reflecting on their station in life. Andrew Carnegie was known for reciting poetry from memory, holding dinners where he'd debate Shakespeare and the merits of socialism, and waking his entire household with a bagpiper every morning. He's credited with saying, “As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.” J.P. Morgan was famous for locking bankers in his library during the panic of 1907 and not letting them leave until they solved the crisis. He once said, “A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.” Elon Musk wielded a chainsaw while bragging about cuts to USAID, and once entered Twitter HQ during a hostile takeover while carrying a sink. He tweeted: “Entering Twitter HQ — let that sink in! ”These people are not the same.Ad-free podcasts are here!Get 20% off your first year of ad-free episodes, exclusive interviews, and deep dives with Tangle's podcast membership!Suspension of the Rules.Isaac, Ari, and Kmele had a lot to talk about this week.

“Going against Ceedee and GP is prepping me for what I need to be at my best." Caleb Downs  On the road, hitting all the Training Camps and had to make it to Oxnard to check out the rookie sensation- Caleb Downs who joins us for a conversation during his first NFL training camp with the Dallas Cowboys, stepping into the league as a first-round pick with expectations already sky-high. Caleb opens up about making the transition from college football to the NFL, the pressure that comes with being a highly touted first-rounder, and what it means to now wear the Cowboys star. He talks about going against elite teammates like CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens every day at practice, learning what separates NFL players, and the intensity of competing against the best in the world. He opens up on his immediate bond with Defensive Coordinator Christian Parker and what he sees in his new coach that can take the defense to the next level. The conversation also goes back to his championship-winning college career, his time playing for Nick Saban, and the lessons he took from one of football's greatest coaches. Caleb reflects on playing alongside stars like Jeremiah Smith, the competitive mindset that helped him win at the college level, and how those experiences prepared him for Sundays in the NFL. He shares how the upsets and losses are just as important as the wins in maintaining a championship mindset. Caleb tells the guys that since he was young, he's studied some of the greatest athletes from Kobe Bryant to Tom Brady to Michael Jordan not because of their skill set but because of their habits and uses his findings in his everyday life. Caleb also gets personal about family, the pride of following those who came before him, and what it means to have a brother already playing in the NFL while continuing a football legacy of his own. From winning in college to earning his place in Dallas, Caleb Downs gives The Pivot an inside look at the mindset, expectations and family foundation behind one of football's rising young stars.

What happens when you know exactly what you should do for your health but you still don't do it? Motivation may not be the answer. Best-selling author and performance expert Alan Stein Jr. joins Dr. Hana Kahleova and Chuck Carroll to reveal the "next play" mindset that can help you bounce back from bad decisions, stop self-sabotage, and become more consistent with your health. Before becoming a keynote speaker, Alan spent 20 years in basketball performance and had the opportunity to observe some of the greatest athletes in the world, including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant. What separates elite performers isn't perfection. They miss shots. They have bad days. They make mistakes. The difference is what they do next. In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, you'll learn how to stop one unhealthy meal from becoming an unhealthy week, why emotions should inform your decisions rather than control them, how to build discipline when motivation disappears, and why your environment may matter more than willpower. Chuck also opens up about weighing 420 pounds and eating as many as 10,000 calories of fast food a day — and why he is learning to have compassion for the person he used to be instead of continuing to punish himself for the past. Plus, Alan shares the daily routines that help him protect his mindset and explains why small wins eventually become enormous changes. Your last play is over. What will you do next?
