In This Episode:    While strategic planning certainly plays a huge role in the business world, a version of strategic planning also drives our local, state, and federal government. We usually just don't notice it, because we can't see behind the scenes. But there are still important lessons that entrepreneurs can learn from those who have worked in the public sector. Our guest this week is someone who has plenty to teach.   Andy Takata has worked as a city manager and has over 21 years of experience with three full-service cities and two contract cities. He's worked in economic development, planning, recreation, development, and municipal-operated water, wastewater, and electrical utilities.    Tune into the full conversation for more on some of the differences in effective strategic planning for the private sector vs the public sector, how to avoid getting distracted by “shiny objects” when you already have a set plan (plus the potential benefits of noticing those shiny objects), Andy's experience officiating water polo at the Olympics, and a lot more.   Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn:    What Andy does now, and why he came out of retirement in order to do it The two main forms of local government and the differences in how cities are run How long it takes to complete projects at the governmental level, and why these processes can sometimes take a long time  How to deal with differences in political ideologies when crafting and executing long-term strategic plans for cities and communities The differences in how success is measured in the public sector vs in the private sector How Andy got involved with water polo, and how he worked his way up to eventually refereeing at the Olympics How Andy has built effective habits in his life and how those habits enabled him to keep a balance in his life despite being involved in so many things  The difference between being “busy” and “busy strategically” How Andy has been able to avoid shiny object syndrome in his work, and the advice he would give to others to not get distracted by things that won't move you forward One surprising observation that Andy had about the world-class athletes at the Olympics (and the ones who didn't make the cut) How Andy measures success in his personal life — and how that might shift as he prepares to head into his second retirement   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:   The city of DuPont, Washington Andy Takata on LinkedIn “If it Ain't Broke…Break It!: And Other Unconventional Wisdom for a Changing Business World” by Robert J.

DETAILS | How has fatherhood changed in the last three years, and is it time for a new approach at work? In this reflective episode, Paul Sullivan, former New York Times columnist and founder of The Company of Dads, shares his insightful journey from the newsroom to reshaping the narrative and policies supporting fatherhood at work.  Paul defines 'Lead Dads' as fathers who take the forefront in prioritizing parenting and caregiving, challenging traditional gender roles and stereotypes. We also discuss why it makes a tremendous difference to see Lead Dads in senior leadership roles, how this shift benefits parents, retention, branding, and business, and why the CMO and CHRO should own and promote this strategic advantage. This episode is a must-listen for business leaders, professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of parenting, work, and societal change. Tune in to explore how embracing the concept of Lead Dads can drive positive change in your organization and contribute to a more equitable and empathetic business environment. TIME STAMPS |  [01:00] Introduction to Paul Sullivan and The Company of Dads. [02:40] Paul's journey from Journalism to fatherhood advocacy. [08:46] The characteristics and behaviors of a Lead Dad. [11:18] The impact of COVID-19 on fatherhood and work, culture, retention, and the bottom line. [15:22] Scheduling Jenga, personal stories, and advocacy. [19:36] Historically, dads have been neglected, judged, and even shamed in the workplace. [25:45] Core solutions in this evolution and making it safe to have this conversation. [32:57] Leaders who don't have kids don't understand what parents go through. [35:56] Fathers need connection and community so they don't feel alone. [39:11] Speed round questions. [45:18] Closing gratitude and how to find Paul online. GUEST | Paul Sullivan founded The Company of Dads, the first platform dedicated to creating a community for Lead Dads. Its mission is to help Lead Dads feel less isolated and more confident that they have made the correct choice to take on the bulk of the parenting and family duties - or at the very least disentangle from traditional stereotypes around who does what at home. As a Lead Dad himself, Paul intimately understands the joys, frustrations, isolation, and reticence around talking about being a Lead Dad. It's a role growing in numbers but far from normalized. Before starting The Company of Dads in 2021, Paul wrote the Wealth Matters column in The New York Times for 13 years. He also created the Money Game column in GOLF Magazine. He is the author of two books, Clutch: Why Some People Excel Under Pressure and Others Don't and The Thin Green Line: The Money Secrets of The Super Wealthy.

Our guest on the latest episode of Climb in Consulting has an incredibly inspiring – and cinematic - story to tell. Since 2022, Paul Pugh has been CEO at Mason Advisory, an award-winning digital and technology consultancy that solves complex business challenges through intelligent use of IT. Skipping back a few years, Paul had been firmly on the partner track at KPMG when he found himself boarding a train he was never supposed to take. On board, a chance meeting led to an offer that would go on to change the course of his career. It was thanks to this ‘sliding doors moment', that he ended up taking a director role at Mason Advisory, which back in 2016 was still a fledgling firm. In this episode, Nick and Paul have an in-depth chat about his career, how Mason Advisory has scaled, and of course *that* train encounter. As well as all that, they also cover a whole host of fascinating topics, including: - What led to Paul's decision to jump off the partner track at KPMG and take a leap into the unknown - The importance of finding a role that allows you to stay true to your values - How the team at Mason Advisory scaled the business, despite the challenging times - Why he's a big believer in giving people opportunities to flourish – and why we tend to learn the most during times of crisis Whether you're just starting out in your consulting career, planning to start a new firm, or thinking of switching tracks in your career, this episode is a must listen.

In June of 2018, just two years after the PULS nightclub attacks, Orlando Police officers responded to a domestic violence call. As officers attempted to contact the suspect, he fired a shot though his door striking Officer Kevin Valencia with wounds that he would eventually succumb to.  The suspect then barricaded in his apartment with his 4 children as hostages.  This event, which would last more than 24 hours, proved extremely difficult and required the resources of both the Orlando Police Department SWAT Team and their partners from the Orange County Sherriff's SWAT Team before finally reaching a tragic resolution. My guests today are Dep. Chief Jonathan Bigelow from the Orlando Police Department and Sgt. Chris Eklund with the Orange County Florida Sherriff's Office to discuss the incident and share their lessons learned. This episode will be dedicated to the memory of Officer Kevin Valencia.Books RecommendedThe Common Sense Way: A New Way to Think About Leading and Organizing – Pete Blaber ISBN-13: 978-0578876740Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't – Simon Sinek - ISBN-13: 978-1591848011Sound Doctrine: A Tactical Primer – Charles Sid Heal - ISBN-13: 978-1930051119The World's Most Powerful Leadership Principle - How To Become A Servant Leader - James C.

As kids, we often think we know what we'll be when we grow up. And some people do. They fall in love with a particular field and pursue it. Others find themselves meandering a bit more, as opportunities present themselves and interests twist and turn. Perhaps your journey in life and business looks similar.To talk about taking untraditional paths, I (Kyle) interviewed Mark Duran, the CEO and Co-Founder of Student First Technologies.

This episode is dedicated to one of the most fundamental aspects of a fulfilling life—building healthy habits. If you're struggling to maintain positive routines or trying to break free from bad habits, this episode is for you! We delve deep into the science of habit formation, explore why some habits stick while others don't, and give you a step-by-step guide on how to build habits that will lead you to a happier, healthier life.  

Welcome to today's episode, where I'm delving into the topic of evolution versus revolution in leadership. After recently reading Jim Collins' remarkable book Good to Great, I was deeply inspired by its insights and wanted to share with you my learnings from it. I also discuss my own thoughts on embracing continual growth and learning to become the best leaders we can be.When it comes to exceptional leadership, the journey to greatness doesn't happen overnight. Research has shown that outstanding companies outperforming in their market wasn't due to a big launch or rebrand - the success came through positive, sustained changes over the long term.I talk about leadership being a process that requires time and conscious effort to expand in knowledge and experience. Too often we see people wanting to take big step jumps in their careers, without really taking the time to think about how they can enhance their skill sets or develop more knowledge. The key here is adopting a growth mindset, and I encourage you to ask yourself important questions about what kind of leader you want to be, and what steps you can begin to take to get there.I talk about the importance of a healthy framework of support within an organisation that can enable emerging leaders to grow. What is the culture around having open conversations? Is there psychological safety and genuine trust in the organisation, where people can speak up and support each other? I also discuss how a supportive environment can help promote new perspective and innovation in leadership roles, and help people truly develop the necessary skills for their appointed roles. So, whether you're a seasoned leader, an emerging one or someone who's keen on understanding the dynamics of evolving leadership, this episode has something valuable for you. Remember, the journey to greatness is not about rushing toward a fixed destination; it's about embracing the evolution that transforms you into the leader you're meant to be.So, hit that play button and get started on your journey towards becoming the best version of yourself as a leader in your industry. Your future self will thank you for it.Happy listening!LINKS:Jim Collins' book: Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don'tArticle by Jim Collins: Good to Great Book a Free Career Strategy Coaching SessionWebsite:https://www.beautifuldisruptions.com/ LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccabangura/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/iamrebeccabangura/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BeautifulDisruptions

In this episode of The Optimistic American, Paul Johnson is joined by Eric Bronner and Chris Sylvester from Veterans for Political Innovation. The three talk about the issues with the American political system, why political reform matters to veterans, the issues with the bi-partisan political scene, and what a real patriot is actually all about. Eric kicks off the conversation by sharing what Veterans for Political Innovation is all about. The initiative was launched about two years ago with the goal of mobilizing America's most trusted messengers to help repair some of the least trusted institutions – our partisan political system, through state-based campaigns for better elections, better politics, and more choices. Chris and Eric open up about their service for the country and the role they played in the United States military. According to Eric, political reform matters to veterans for the fact that independents are tired of the two-party doom loop the U.S. are stuck in. Reformers like Eric and Chris believe that reforms are the best path to changing the system itself, and to making American politics – and the country – better. Eric and Chris believe the existing partisan system is a threat to American national security. Chris talks about his run into politics as a Republican and the lesson he learned about trying to unseat an incumbent of the same party. Eric touches upon what he considers two key aspects that could improve the political system: a fully-open unified primary where every voter could vote for any candidate, and real competition for November's elections. Chris believes that the political system is riddled with apathy and ignorance. For Eric, if someone is more loyal to a political party or a political leader than to the Constitution, they are not a patriot. Eric brings the concept of Final Five Voting into the conversation. Chris and Eric go through their definitions of leadership. One of the major challenges for existing politicians is that out of 500,000 elected officials, 70% are determined in the primary and never face opposition in the general election. This gives an inordinate amount of leverage to the 10% of special interests who actually show up in the primary. Both learned in the Military the importance of putting Country before Party. They swore their oath to the Constitution. Today's politicians because of the broken partisan system put their party above their oath to the Constitution.     Mentioned in This Episode: optamerican.com Addictive Ideologies: Finding Meaning and Agency When Politics Fail You by Dr Emily Bashah and Hon Paul Johnson The Optimistic American on YouTube - @optamerican Become a premium supporter of the show: OptAmerican.com/premium Veterans for Political Innovation Michael Porter  Harvard Business School George Washington Martin Luther Jean-Jacques Rosseau Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don't by Jim Collins SaveDemocracyAZ.com

Breakout Brands: Why Some Brands Take Off...and Others Don't by Jared Schrieber About the Book: The Obstacles...  If you're trying to grow a brand, you know firsthand that it can be a complex challenge.  Short-term goals are routinely prioritized over long-term, systemic growth.  Despite your best efforts to grow revenue and win market share, gains are fleeting, and real progress often plateaus.  What can you do to ignite sustainable growth?   The Research...  What do winning brands do differently?  Inspired by the number one bestseller Good to Great, market intelligence expert Jared Schrieber has gone a step further to explore the factors that distinguish breakout brands from those that lag behind.  He studied twenty-five thousand brands over five years by tracking the day-to-day purchasing decisions of more than one million consumers, analyzing the advertising that influenced them, and creating a practical guide for growing brands, no matter their industry or size.   The Answers...  In Breakout Brands, Jared reveals the steps successful brands take to accelerate brand momentum year after year.  This new framework for brand building presents real case studies and concrete steps to get you results.  Like Good to Great, Breakout Brands is the must-have guide for brands that want to dominate the market by aligning proven short-term tactics with successful long-term strategies. About the Author: Since graduating from MIT's Engineering Systems Division, Jared Schrieber has been rethinking how brands harness consumer data to drive growth.  He was the founding CEO of Numerator and is the former head of products and services at Retail Solutions, two successful startups that have shaped how brands better understand their consumers and win at retail in the twenty-first century.  He also co-founded the Pat Tillman Foundation and recently established the Revolution Robotics Foundation to bring the inspirational joy of educational and competitive robotics to all kids globally. And, interesting facts – he lives in Budapest, Hungary, and in college was ranked 5th nationally in the javelin on the Arizona State Varsity Track & Field team!

Chapter 1:The Full Book Summary and Review of Good to GreatSummary:The book is divided into three main sections:Good to GreatThis section presents the framework for understanding how a company can transition from being good to great. The author emphasizes that it takes more than just hard work and good luck to achieve greatness. Instead, it requires disciplined thought and action, a culture of discipline, and the right people in the right positions.The Twenty-Year MarathonThis section delves into the attributes of companies that made the transition from good to great. The author identifies common traits among these companies, including having a Level 5 leader (someone who is humble yet driven), focusing on what they can be best at, and having a culture of discipline.The Flywheel and the Doom LoopThis section explores how companies can maintain their success once they've achieved it. The author uses the metaphor of a flywheel to describe the process of building momentum in a company, and how once that momentum is achieved, it becomes easier to maintain success. Conversely, companies that fall into the doom loop are those that fail to build momentum or lose it once they have it.Review:Good to Great is an insightful book that offers practical advice for businesses looking to improve. The author's research is thorough and his writing is clear and well-organized. The use of case studies to illustrate the principles he discusses is particularly effective. Additionally, the book is filled with useful charts and tables that help to clarify the author's points.One of the main strengths of the book is its emphasis on discipline. The author argues that it is discipline, not charisma or luck, that sets great companies apart from their competitors. This message is particularly relevant in today's business world, where there is a tendency to focus on short-term gains rather than long-term success.On the other hand, some readers may find the book to be overly focused on quantitative data and metrics. While the author's research is certainly impressive, it may not resonate with those who prefer a more qualitative approach to business analysis.Overall, Good to Great is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding what it takes to build a successful company. The author's insights are well-supported by his research, and the book is filled with practical advice that can be applied to any business.Chapter 2：Jim CollinsJim Collins is an American author, researcher, and consultant who has written several bestselling books on business and leadership. He is best known for his book "Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't," which explores why some companies are able to achieve long-term success while others struggle.Collins has spent years studying what makes great companies and great leaders, and he has distilled his findings into practical advice that can be applied by anyone interested in improving their own performance or the performance of their organization. He has also conducted extensive research on topics such as company culture, strategy, and organizational change.In addition to his work as an author and researcher, Collins is a popular speaker and consultant who has worked with a wide range of organizations, from startups to Fortune 500 companies. His insights have been widely recognized, and he has received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to the field of business and leadership.Chapter 3：Top 5 Jim Collins Quotes 1 "Good is the enemy of great." - This quote is from his book "Good to Great" and highlights how settling for good can prevent us from achieving greatness.2 "Great vision without great people is irrelevant." - Collins...

So many company founders out there have found success because they've had a great idea, a particular skill set, and a willingness to put in the long hours. But those 3 characteristics are NOT how to scale a company. Instead, to become a successful CEO of a growing business, founders have to evolve what they do within that business — and this can be one of the toughest transitions for them to make. Letting go of job duties or responsibilities doesn't come easy for these high-achievers.   Our latest guest, Dr. David Stern, MD, is someone who has gone through that transition himself.

And one of the ways we get that help is through various types of coaches.” “There is no failure if you keep trying.” “Failure is just a setback. So share that with other people and help them see that failure is just a stepping stone. To get through that failure, the fastest way to do it is to set a new goal, a new vision, a new dream to get excited about.” BOOKS MENTIONED: Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work by Steven Kotler (https://tinyurl.com/StealingFireBook) Leaders Eat Last (With a New Chapter): Why Some Teams Pull Together, and Others Don't by Simon Sinek (https://tinyurl.com/LeadersEatLastBookSS) The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino (https://tinyurl.com/TheGreatestSalesmanBook) Think and Grow Rich: The Landmark Bestseller Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Century by Napoleon Hill (https://tinyurl.com/ThinkAndGrowRichBookNH) How Are You, Really?: Living Your Truth One Answer at a Time by Jenna Kutcher (https://tinyurl.com/HowAreYouReallyBook) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.winterdance.com  https://www.instagram.com/tanyacmccready/ https://www.facebook.com/tanya.mccready.3 https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanya-mccready-winterdance/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0VXGoNfmiesOVFnCTbwDbQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_VOYYfwnAA https://tinyurl.com/JourneyOf1000MilesBook https://tinyurl.com/IditarodDreamerBook CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com     Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/ 

Good To GreatGood To Great Full Chapter Brief If you want your enterprise to go farther, you should not be satisfied with being “good” but should make continuous efforts to achieve “greatness”, so that your company can be more dynamic, more competitive, and last for a really long time. So, how can enterprises break through the bottleneck of being just good? And how do we build an excellent management team? This book puts forward a set of ideas that, if implemented carefully, will enable most companies to improve their operations significantly and be able to become an outstanding company. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book From Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't. There are many famous companies that have experienced a period of glory, leaving their peers far behind. But slowly, they began to not think about innovation, became content with the status quo, stopped seeking to improve, let themselves fall into the trap of complacency and consequently fell from the top to the bottom. The most typical example is Kodak. Kodak was once the world's leading film manufacturer. Its film recorded people's sorrow and happiness, glory and dreams for more than 100 years. But unfortunately, they have not been able to keep up with the new era. Some people think they stumbled in the face of camera manufacturers like Sony and Nikon, while many people don't realize that the world's first digital camera was actually made by Kodak. The ultimate reason why Kodak failed is down to the fact that they refused to “kill” their signature film, unwilling to move forward toward “greatness”, and eventually died because of its inaction. The lessons of history tell us that when a company begins to become content with their current status quo, and remain stagnant and complacent, the mansion that they once strove so hard to build up will fall into a precarious state. In order to avoid complacency, we should not merely be satisfied with being good, but also we should continue to strive for greatness, to enable our enterprise to be more dynamic and more long-lasting. So, how to go from good to great? How to make the enterprise break through the bottleneck of excellence? How to set up an excellent management team? This book presents a set of ideas that can help most companies dramatically improve their operations and even become an exceptional company. The author of this book, Jim Collins, is a renowned management expert and best-selling business author, whose books include Great by Choice: Uncertainty, Chaos, and Luck—Why Some Thrive Despite Them All, How The Mighty Fall: And Why Some Companies Never Give In, and, Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies, of which we've also provided you with a bookey. He spent his early years teaching and researching at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, where he received the Distinguished Teaching Award. In 1995, he founded his own Management Lab, where he conducted research on business life with leaders of numerous corporations and social institutions. Collins has also served as senior manager and CEO of world-renowned companies such as Merck & Co, Starbucks, Times Spiegel Group, and McKinsey & Company. Next, we will talk about the essence of this book from three parts and learn how companies can make the leap from good to great: Part One: How to build an excellent team; Part Two: How to create the concept of excellence; Part Three: How to achieve excellence.

It is also important to support people in whatever they want to do, know the risks, and know how to support themselves.   ·       Body modification doesn't revolve around plastic surgery. Still, it includes the neck, click the rings in Africa, and the island where people believed the behind the knee was a second vagina. These examples show that people love to do this type of stuff and should be safe and supported. ·       Culture and tradition greatly influence body modification, like the Chinese foot binding was a way to signal status. ·       Our society is becoming less healthy due to high exposure to chemicals and increased levels of histamine, which affects the type of scar tissue capsule around a breast implant. [15:00] Does Histamine destroy collagen production? Here's what you need to know ·       Histamine is an important neurotransmitter but can also lead to mania and neurological function. Mast cells in different body parts work on a priming system, like dopamine with gambling.  ·       Histamine can also drive a high level of thinking, especially in women with histamine estrogen. However, over time, it can be destructive. ·       Hypersecreting histamine when mast cells are primed can lead to hypermobility, and this is why people with genetic hypermobility like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome automatically skew into muscle activation syndrome.  ·       Infection can do it as there are a lot of bugs that break down collagen and secrete histamine. This cycle is a fast-flick explanation of hypermobility. [24:30] Breast Implant: Is it safe or not?   ·       If a person is healthy before getting breast implants, they will likely make good scar tissue capsules and not be negatively affected by the known toxins in the implants.  ·       Those who switch implants without doing an onboard capsule ectopy can get into trouble if their collagen and system are overworking and dysregulated. This can lead to capsular contracture, which is a bad aesthetic outcome. ·       Scar tissue is a big issue even externally on the body, and even just a scar randomly on the body can throw off the energy system. This can lead to big scar chunks inside the chest. [36:55] How to Enhance Your Detoxification Pathways   ·       Mineral replenishment, synthetic bile, liver flushes, liposuction, scar therapy manual therapies, and TRT machines are important. Mineral replenishment is important because it helps to replenish mitochondria in the stomach. ·       Synthetic bile and liver flushes are also important before detoxing metals, silicone, and liposuction.  ·       Scar therapy manual therapies are necessary to unburden yourself of scarring in the areas where you had liposuction and to keep lymph moving with the understanding that you may not ever be able to get all the scar tissue out of that area.

Hello All, this is the final episode of Season 10! I am closing with this conversation because it offers a fresh perspective on wealth both as a writer and as a donor. Paul Sullivan has had and continues to have an exciting career that we can all learn from. Sit back, relax, and listen to Paul reflect on his journey to date and what money has had to do with it! Paul is the founder of The Company of Dads, the first platform dedicated to creating a community for Lead Dads. Its mission is to help Lead Dads feel less isolated and more confident that they have made the correct choice to take on the bulk of the parenting and family duties - or at the very least not embrace stereotypes around who does what at home. As a Lead Dad himself, Paul understands intimately the joys, frustrations, isolation and reticence around talking about being a Lead Dad. It's a role that is growing in numbers but is far from normalized. Before starting The Company of Dads in 2021, Paul wrote the Wealth Matters column in The New York Times for 13 years. He also created the Money Game column in GOLF Magazine. As a journalist for 25 years, his articles also appeared in Fortune, Money, Conde Nast Portfolio, The International Herald Tribune, Barron's, The Boston Globe, and Food & Wine. From 2000 to 2006, he was a reporter, editor and columnist at the Financial Times. He got his start as a reporter at Bloomberg and Institutional Investor. He is the author of two books Clutch: Why Some People Excel Under Pressure and Others Don't and The Thin Green Line: The Money Secrets of The Super Wealthy. Paul has been interviewed on podcasts, radio and television programs across America, including NPR, Marketplace, CNN, and Fox News. He has also given key-note talks to audiences from 50 to 500 people in the United States, Mexico and Chile. Paul lives in New Canaan, Connecticut, with his wife and their three daughters and three dogs. He received degrees in history from Trinity College and the University of Chicago. When not running The Company of Dads or being a Lead Dad, he is an obsessive golfer. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/devdebrief/support

So many business owners fall into the trap of focusing only on the end outcome: are sales up or down, did the product sell or not sell, are we profitable? But in reality, we should be focused on measuring the stepping stones along the way that they can control: sales leads collected, on time delivery, managing discretionary expenses, etc.    In this, business is much like sports. Focusing solely on the end outcome (did you win or lose?) can only get you so far. You also need to focus on what you're doing in the lead-up to the games. Our guest this week is an expert in preparing athletes for those moments — and helping them measure progress along the way.    Bill Maxwell is the Director of Athletic Performance for Olympic sports, with a primary focus on men's basketball, at the University of Iowa. Before that, he was an assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of Kansas, where he oversaw strength and conditioning programs for the Jayhawk Olympic sports, including basketball, baseball, and swimming and diving.   Listen to the full episode for more on how a Division I strength and conditioning coach measures success within his program, the difference between outcome goals and process goals (and how to set both), some of the technological advances that have been made in the strength and conditioning industry, and more.   Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn:    How Bill got started in strength and conditioning as a profession Some of the ways that the strength and conditioning world has progressed over the past couple decades The impact of wearable technology for athletes How Bill and the rest of the team at Iowa measures athletes' nervous systems, and the impact that rest has on performance  The most important key performance indicators that athletic programs should measure More about the reactive strength index, and how it serves as the standard for the student-athletes at Iowa How Bill answers the question “how do you know your program is working?” The mindset shifts it takes to be a top-performing athlete The difference between outcome goals and process goals, and why both are important within an athletics program How sleep impacts performance  Some of the personal habits Bill has integrated to keep himself at his best every day  How much water intake you should really have The 3 action words Bill tries to practice each day, and what each of those words mean to him   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  Iowa Olympics Sports Strength & Conditioning Bill Maxwell on LinkedIn “Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones” by James Clear “Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't” by Simon Sinek “The Brain Always Wins: Improving Your Life Through Better Brain Management” by Dr. John P.
