DiscourseSupport the show, and get way more fascinating insight than the Bros deliver on the pod! Everything in Spotlight is discussed, dissected and debated on Discourse, and membership is judge a small monthly pledge awayShow notesIt's a Bro-Science discussion today, as listener David inspired debate with a post on his epic Zone 2 indoor ride, and got us thinking - how do we spot Bro Science? Is it all bad? What are the alarm bells that should make us cautious, and how can we learn from the experiences and anecdotes of other people while staying credible. That's our Center Stage topic (47:45).Before that, we whip around the world for a Discourse Digest (1:38) that looks at NCAA 'trafficking' in Kenyan athletes, a win-win, but also maybe a loss for some. We talk Caster Semenya's off-now-on case to fight for inclusion into women's sport, and explore why it's about male advantage, not natural advantage. We also visit rugby, where head impacts and concussions are the focus of a big new study, a new player load guideline, and a link with neurodegenerative diseases in the wake of sad news of Lewis Moody's MND diagnosis.In Ross Replies (1:05:45), Gareth asks about training when fatigued, inviting discussion about the body's physiological resource budget, and how we spend it on stress as opposed to recovery. Listener Lens (1:11:41) fields another listener question, this time from Gianni, about the importance, or necessity, of breakfast before training. And Finally (1:14:52), Tua Tagavailoa has been advised that to prevent concussions, he needs more carbs. It's an idea detached from both reality and theory, but we discuss how it might have come about, and how ideas without basis become entrenched by unquestioning media and public.LinkChris Chavez post about NCAA RecruitingDW article on Semenya's legal caseThe entertaining LetsRun article on Tokyo 2025The large NZ study on neurodegenerative disease in rugby playersWorld Rugby's Load GuidelinesFormer guest James Smoliga's article on Tua Tagavailoa's sugar-concussion prevention belief Hosted on Acast.

Lead by 3 - Leadership with Simplicity A New Direction brings you an in-depth conversation with retired Naval Academy alum Steven Mays, author of The Power of 3: Lessons in Leadership. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the endless “leadership frameworks,” this episode is a breath of clarity. Steven cuts through noise using a foundation rooted in three—three pillars, three practices, three indispensable commitments. It's concise, potent, and built for people who lead under pressure. In The Power of 3, Mays doesn't shy away from the harder side of leading. He explores how despair, unmet expectations, and human frailty challenge even the best of intentions. But he also shows how effective leaders engage in three core acts: assist (serve those you lead), inspire (ignite purpose and vision), and depend (trust and rely on others). That last part may surprise you—he makes dependence not a weakness but a leadership strength. These themes are not abstractions; they're revealed in stories, real tension points, and situations you'll recognize. On our show, I'll push Steven to unpack exactly how those triads work in everyday leadership life. How do you “assist” without overstepping? When your team's morale is sliding, how do you “inspire” in a real, not canned, way? And when things go sideways, how do you lean into “dependence” without losing authority or credibility? We'll also dig into the internal life—how love, despair, and disappointment show up in your leadership—and how to structure your guardrails to stay steady even when people around you aren't. Make plans to join us and capture insights to lead yourself and others. Whether you lead a small team, a department, or your own personal mission, this isn't just another leadership talk—it's a chance to recalibrate how you lead from the inside out. Steven May's book, "The Power of 3: Lessons in Leadership" is a very quick read, but there is elegance in simplicity.  And that is what this book brings.  The idea that learning to lead does not have to be difficult.  What Steven Mays gives us is how in the power of 3 we can learn to lead and lead well. As with any great book he starts with the three fundamentals.  Honesty, Courage, and Talent.  Don't be fooled by the word "honesty" because he gives it a different definition.  And it all starts with an honest self-awareness of where are really.  Then he moves to courage, which again he breaks down into 3 ideals...Accept it, Fix it, or Leave it.  The least important of these three fundamental principles? Talent.  As Steve Mays reminds us that leaders are not born, they are made if they have the right tools. The book is filled with lessons of threes that he puts into triangles and demonstrates that The Power of 3 and the strength of 3 can be used to build successful and great leaders.  While it is only 50 pages long if you dig deep into the simplicity of The Power of 3 you will discover more depth than you can imagine!

Cash PT Trends 2025: What We Learned in Dallas + The New Industry Report In this episode, Doc Danny Matta and Yves Gege unpack takeaways from their Dallas live event and preview PT Biz's new Cash PT Industry Report. They cover what's working now across pure cash, hybrid, and out-of-network models; why continuity and small-group training are surging; and how the talent market is shifting as more solo owners choose to join established cash clinics. Quick Ask Help us move toward the mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to our profession: share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your IG stories and tag Danny—he'll reshare it. Episode Summary From beginners to builders: PT Biz events now draw ~200 owners focused on scaling, not just getting started. No single “right” model: Cash-only, hybrid, out-of-network, Medicare-focused, and gym-like setups can all work—business principles drive success. Continuity is up: Many clinics now get 20–40%+ of monthly visits from recurring performance/wellness work—stabilizing revenue. Small-group training wins: Huge LTV and stick rate; still underused (only ~¼ of clinics are doing it). Talent trend: More solo owners are approaching larger cash clinics for roles with culture, mentorship, and intrapreneurship tracks. Reality check on pay: Compensation must tie to the revenue a provider can generate; entitlement ≠ value creation. Macro shift: Rising deductibles & wellness demand push all clinics to add self-pay services—cash PT is no longer fringe. Live Event Takeaways Owner mindset: Conversations have matured—hiring, leadership, profitability, systems, and scaling to $100k–$200k/month per site. Market fit varies: Geography, payer mix, and demographics dictate whether to stay pure cash, add OON, or blend Medicare. Community compounding: Member-to-member playbooks (what worked, what didn't) are often the most valuable part of events. The Industry Report: What to Watch Continuity growth: Bigger clinics show higher % of recurring visits, needing fewer new evals to fill schedules. Underutilized small groups: High demand among “post-injury but not gym-ready” clients; strong margins and retention. Diversified offers: Performance, strength, and longevity programs de-risk revenue and increase lifetime value. Small-Group Training: Why It Works Checks the boxes: Strength, mobility, accountability, and community—with clinicians nearby if issues arise. Cost-effective for clients: Often similar to PT weekly or personal training—but with better adherence and social glue. Team friendly: Therapists enjoy variety and fewer notes; can be delivered by PTs or trained coaches under clinical oversight. Career Pathways & The “Unemployable” Test Two good options: Go all-in on ownership or join a high-performing cash clinic as an intrapreneur (clinic director, partner track). Value first, then ask: Promotions/partnerships follow demonstrated impact, not tenure. Reputation compounds. Pro Tips You Can Use This Month Launch continuity now: Create 1–2 simple monthly options (e.g., strength + mobility; return-to-sport). Pilot a small group: 4–8 clients, 2x/week, 8 weeks. Price for value, track retention, collect testimonials. Map your model: List your market realities (Medicare, Tricare, local payer rates, boomer density) before choosing cash/hybrid. Hire from the doers: Prioritize applicants who've tried solo—“batteries included,” better respect for business realities. Benchmark & iterate: Compare your prices, packages, and continuity % to the industry report; fix one lever each month. Notable Quotes “There isn't one right model—principles win. Leads in, lifetime value up, recruit well, lead well.” “Continuity compacts the snowball. When 30–40% of your visits are recurring, everything gets easier.” “If you want stability without owning every problem, be an intrapreneur—create value, then opportunities chase you.” Action Items Download the Cash PT Industry Report and benchmark your prices, packages, and continuity %. Sketch a small-group pilot (who it's for, schedule, price, progression) and pre-sell 6–8 spots. Define two continuity offers with clear outcomes and a simple monthly cadence. Write a one-page model map for your area (payers, demographics, demand) and choose cash-only vs hybrid accordingly. Programs Mentioned Clinical Rainmaker: Systems to get you full-time in your clinic. Mastermind: Scale space, team, and operations. PT Biz Part-Time to Full-Time 5-Day Challenge (Free): Expenses, visit targets, pricing, 3 paths to go full-time, and a one-page plan.

About the Hosts: Doc Danny Matta—staff PT, active-duty military PT, cash-practice founder & exit; now helping 1,000+ clinicians start, grow, and scale with PT Biz. Yves Gege—cash-practice owner and PT Biz co-founder focused on systems, leadership, and scaling.

Oxmo Puccino, poète et rappeur incontournable de la scène française, et Samah Karaki, neuroscientifique et autrice du livre Le talent est une fiction, sont mes invités pour un échange aussi puissant qu'intime sur le thème du talent. Ils ne se connaissaient pas avant cette rencontre mais ce sont 2 amis que je connais depuis longtemps pour Oxmo et plus récemment pour Samah.Cet épisode est réalisé en partenariat avec Breakbuild (merci mille fois Amaury)Ensemble, nous avons décidé de faire dialoguer deux personnes qui ne se connaissaient pas encore, mais que je connais profondément. L'idée ? Croiser deux regards – artistique et scientifique – sur une notion qui structure nos vies : le talent.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons du mythe du génie solitaire, des conditions matérielles invisibles qui rendent possible (ou non) l'expression du talent, du soft power des artistes, et de la pression sociale exercée sur ceux qui ont « réussi ». J'ai questionné Samah sur l'origine de son livre, sur l'illusion méritocratique, sur les biais sociaux qui invisibilisent tant de trajectoires. Et j'ai demandé à Oxmo comment il s'est construit en tant qu'artiste, comment il pense la création, la beauté, la transmission, et sa liberté vis-à-vis des injonctions économiques du monde de l'art.On parle aussi de Mozart, de Picasso, des pyramides d'Égypte, de l'enfance et de cette capacité incroyable que nous avons à nous émerveiller… ou à nous habituer. Une conversation sensible, posée, sans posture. Merci à Samah et Oxmo pour leur justesse, leur douceur, leur intelligence vive. C'est un épisode rare, comme je les aime.5 citations marquantes« Le talent est une promesse. » – Oxmo Puccino« Ce que nous sommes est en grande, grande partie fait de circonstances. » – Samah Karaki« Le talent est fait pour être gâché. Beaucoup moins le travail. » – Oxmo Puccino« Comprendre ne tue pas l'émerveillement. » – Samah Karaki« On ne crée pas pour vendre. On partage une émotion. » – Oxmo Puccino10 questions structurées posées dans l'interviewPourquoi as-tu écrit un livre sur le talent ?Comment t'es-tu construit en tant qu'artiste ?Qu'est-ce que le talent signifie pour toi ?Que penses-tu de la notion de mérite ?En quoi les conditions sociales influencent-elles l'émergence du talent ?Peut-on séparer la personne de son œuvre ?Comment abordes-tu ton processus créatif ?Penses-tu que la création artistique doit être rentable ?Que reste-t-il de la beauté universelle aujourd'hui ?Comment la stabilité affective influence-t-elle un parcours ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:00 – Introduction de l'épisode et rencontre des invités01:00 – Samah explique la genèse de son livre sur le talent03:00 – Oxmo raconte sa construction artistique06:00 – Débat sur la notion de talent comme construction sociale10:00 – L'influence des conditions socio-économiques15:00 – Le népotisme et la complexité de l'héritage familial20:00 – La beauté, le mystère et le rôle de l'émerveillement30:00 – Le talent face à la norme et aux attentes du public40:00 – Le processus créatif : émotion ou stratégie ?50:00 – Peut-on encore créer librement ?1:02:00 – Clôture, gratitude et réflexions finales Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #358 Raphaël Quenard & Charles Pépin : la solitude comme force vitale - confidences croisées (https://audmns.com/vZzkTNd) #337 Le piège de l'empathie avec Samah Karaki (https://audmns.com/CVkTKJQ) #206 Comment développer l'esprit critique chez les enfants?

Unlocking Scalable Leadership and Culture: Expert Insights from Esther Weinberg of The Ready ZoneIn a rapidly evolving business landscape, founders and executive teams face the dual challenge of scaling operations while retaining their top talent and organizational sanity. In a recent episode, Josh Elledge interviewed Esther Weinberg, Founder & Chief Leadership Development Officer of The Ready Zone, who shared actionable strategies for building resilient leadership, cultivating strong culture, and preparing teams for sustainable growth. Drawing from her experience across entertainment and international development, Esther provides a practical roadmap for leaders navigating fast-growing organizations.Building Leadership Depth and Organizational ResilienceEsther emphasizes the “Three Ts”—Talent, Traction, and Technology—as the core pillars of scalable leadership. Talent focuses on attracting, developing, and retaining the right people, while Traction ensures that execution aligns with strategy. Technology acts as both an enabler and a source of stress, and leaders must help teams integrate digital tools without compromising culture.Scaling effectively requires recognizing the leadership gap that often emerges as companies grow. Founders cannot do it alone; mid-level and senior leaders need development, clear expectations, and accountability frameworks. Esther advises using structured approaches like the Five A's—Aware, Accurate, Acquire, Accountability, and Action—to empower leaders to reflect, learn, and implement change systematically.Practical application of these principles is critical. Esther recommends auditing your leadership team, clarifying expectations, investing in development, adopting the Five A's in everyday operations, and fostering open, tough conversations. Balancing people and technology ensures that teams stay engaged while adapting to AI and digital transformation pressures, creating a resilient and high-performing organization.About Esther WeinbergEsther Weinberg is the Founder & Chief Leadership Development Officer of The Ready Zone. With a career spanning entertainment and international development, she specializes in helping high-growth organizations build leadership depth, cultivate culture, and scale sustainably while keeping teams engaged and effective.About The Ready ZoneThe Ready Zone equips leaders and executive teams with practical frameworks, tools, and coaching programs designed to improve leadership effectiveness, team alignment, and organizational resilience.

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Guest: Dakota Meyer, a United States Marine Corps veteran and Medal of Honor recipient. At just 21 years old, Dakota's actions during the Battle of Ganjgal in Afghanistan saved many lives when he repeatedly went against his orders and drove into a Taliban ambush zone to rescue trapped soldiers. He became the first living Marine in more than 40 years to receive the Medal of Honor. Today, he's a firefighter, entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author. Dakota is dedicated to developing leaders who can handle crisis and complexity. In our conversation, you'll hear why Dakota believes his most heroic day was actually his greatest failure, what he was feeling the day he received the Medal of Honor from President Obama, and his practical blueprint for bringing our divided country together. Notes: The Three-Phase Life Cycle - Dakota's framework for wisdom: "You have an obstacle you face. You have to get through that obstacle and become better from it. And then the third piece is you have to share how you got through that obstacle." Leadership vs. Responsibility - "Leaders are just people too. You can lead from anywhere in an organization... Leadership comes in many forms." True leadership means choosing where your loyalty lies - with the people you're responsible for or with protecting your own position. September 8th, 2009: Leadership Failure - Dakota frames his Medal of Honor actions as "an absolute story of leadership failure at its best" - multiple levels of leaders avoiding responsibility while he went against orders to save his teammates. The Loyalty Question - "Where does their loyalty lie? Is it in the people that trust them to lead them and to protect them? Or is it in the organization in order for themselves to keep getting promoted?" This fundamental choice defines every leader. Risk vs. Results - "Organizations and leaders today are so risk-averse that risk comes before results... You can't be successful, do hard things, and stay comfortable and be safe. In no world does that exist." Mental Health Reality Check - Dakota challenges current mental health approaches: "We're giving people no hope because we're trying to accommodate their emotions and not bring them back to reality and logic." He distinguishes between trauma that needs addressing and self-induced mental health issues through poor choices. Love as Choice, Not Emotion - "Love is not an emotion. Love is a choice... If you love me, you're going to always help me be the best version of me. That doesn't always feel good." Accountability and Fatherhood - As a father of two daughters: "I can't be anything that I wouldn't let anybody else be to them... You set the bar for what they're gonna accept and what they're not gonna accept." The Civil War Warning - "America doesn't need a Civil War. What we need is to vote, to lead, to speak up in schools, to teach our kids history, truth, kindness with strength, and how to disagree without violence." The Ambush  - When his team walked into an ambush, promised support assets (air support, mortars, quick reaction force) weren't available due to rules of engagement restrictions. When Lieutenant Johnson called for artillery support, saying, "If you don't give me these rounds right now, we're going to die," the response was "Try your best." The Decision to Act - Dakota requested permission to help multiple times and was denied each time. He finally went against orders with his driver, Staff Sergeant Rodriguez Chavez, making four or five trips into the valley over six hours to evacuate wounded and recover bodies. The Human Cost - Dakota describes the helplessness of watching Afghan soldiers get "mowed down" while running toward his vehicle for rescue. He performed basic life-saving measures, loaded wounded in trucks with the dead on the bottom and living on top for triage priority, and ultimately recovered some of his fallen teammates. The Immediate Aftermath - Dakota put his teammates in body bags, flew them home, then immediately returned to cleaning his truck and helping Afghan soldiers with their dead. He went back to his base alone - the only survivor of his four-man team. Mental Health Crisis - Dakota developed a destructive cycle: daily drinking (depressant), massive caffeine intake to compensate, creating anxiety and amplifying trauma. He was surrounded by people who only wanted to discuss trauma and war stories, preventing healing. Suicide Attempt - Dakota reached a breaking point where he held a gun to his head, but it wasn't loaded. This became his turning point - he made a commitment to either "rack it back and go ahead and do it, or go out and find a way to get through this and start living a life worthy of their sacrifices." The Path Forward - Recovery came through accountability rather than accommodation. Dakota emphasizes that while trauma needed addressing, he was "amplifying and feeding the problem, not the solution" through his choices. Real vs. Perceived Heroism - Dakota challenges the hero narrative: "I am an example of the potential that's in every human being... If they believe in a cause that's bigger than themselves, and they love people so much that they're willing to do whatever it takes to stop the suffering." Daily Character Building - "You don't just wake up and do the hard thing. It starts every day. Do you get up when you say you're gonna get up? Do you do what you say?" The Medal of Honor action was simply "upholding my end of the deal to my teammates and to my country." Being a Great Dad - Dakota sets an extremely high bar as a dad: "I believe that if your daughters start dating shitty and weak men, it's because you are a shitty and weak man." He sees fatherhood as the ultimate accountability. Unity through Truth - His current focus: "I just want to bring people together... I wanna put hope back in the world through truth." He believes in finding common ground with anyone through genuine connection and curiosity. Education vs. Knowledge - Dakota distinguishes between theoretical education and practical knowledge: "There's a difference between education and knowledge... those who can't do, they teach. We need more that have done teaching." The Power of Love - His core philosophy centers on love as action, not emotion: "Love is limitless... there's no expiration date" compared to hate and negativity, which "there's an expiration date on." Practical Application Leadership Loyalty Test - Before making decisions, ask where your primary loyalty lies: with those you lead or with your own advancement Risk-Taking Framework - Understand that meaningful results require accepting risk and discomfort Mental Health Approach - Address trauma while taking responsibility for choices that amplify problems Daily Character Development - Build integrity through small daily commitments before facing major challenges Connection Over Division - Seek common ground through curiosity and questions rather than attacking opposing viewpoints

Nous sommes aujourd'hui avec Sandrine et Florian Favario, de l'Auberge de Montmin. Tous les gastronomes (ou presque) connaissent leur "maison de cuisine" doublement étoilée et nichée sur les hauteurs du somptueux lac d'Annecy. Ils y proposent une expérience gastronomique de haut vol où le sens du service de Sandrine sublime la cuisine instinctive et maîtrisée de Florian. Pour co-animer ce nouvel épisode de Business of Bouffe, Philibert est accompagné de Pierre Marcolin, le co-fondateur du restaurant Bloomer à Annecy.À travers ce podcast, nous cherchons à mieux connaître ce couple très réservé, mais terriblement talentueux et inspiré, qui rebat les cartes de la haute gastronomie avec beaucoup de sincérité et de bon sens.Pour cela, on fait doucement connaissance avec Sandrine et Florian. On brise la glace et on découvre les débuts de ces deux passionnés de restauration. Après des études dans le tourisme, Sandrine prend les commandes d'une brasserie parisienne à seulement 20 ans ! C'est la révélation : elle adore recevoir et s'occuper des clients. De son côté, Florian troque le sport-études pour les fourneaux dès 14 ans, poussé par le goût de l'effort et du dépassement. Ils excellent tous les deux dans leurs arts - la cuisine et la salle - et commencent à rêver, chacun de leur côté, qu'un jour ils ouvriront leur propre maison.C'est chez Thierry Marx que leurs chemins se croisent enfin. Un coup de foudre professionnel et personnel. Florian enchaîne les grandes maisons à travers le monde, Sandrine affine son sens du service sur le terrain, toujours au plus près du client. De cette rencontre naît un lien nourri d'admiration partagée.Puis, Sandrine et Florian nous racontent le projet de leur vie : l'Auberge de Montmin. Ensemble, on évoque ainsi la création et le développement de leur "maison de cuisine", cette auberge gastronomique d'un nouveau genre où la salle et la cuisine dialoguent sans barrière. Florian peut enfin exprimer tous ses talents et sublimer avec audace son terroir savoyard en s'inspirant notamment de ses riches expériences aux quatre coins du monde. Sandrine, quant à elle, revisite le métier de maîtresse de maison et accueille ses convives avec exigence mais dans une ambiance conviviale, décontractée et quasi familiale. Et si c'était ça, la haute gastronomie de demain ?Cet épisode a été enregistré avec la participation exceptionnelle de Mercotte, François-Régis Gaudry, Eric Frechon et Philippe Héritier (Domaine des Orchis).

Championship leadership is rarely about talent alone. It's about consistency, values, and the willingness to do the unglamorous work—especially when no one is watching. For Ross Bernstein, a Hall of Fame speaker and best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books, that truth has been reinforced across thousands of interviews with the world's top athletes and coaches. The most successful leaders, whether in sports or business, operate by a code—one built on trust, culture, and an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way. Bernstein's work focuses on decoding what separates winning teams from the rest. His research draws not only from statistical trends, but from raw, behind-the-scenes conversations inside locker rooms, press boxes, and dugouts. Championship leadership, he explains, isn't about flash or status. It's built on daily habits, strong relationships, and a team-first mentality that fuels performance over the long haul. Integrity is a recurring theme in Bernstein's message. Drawing parallels between sports and business, he emphasizes that true leaders are defined by how they win—not just whether they win. “Anyone can cheat,” he points out. “But being a champion is about doing things the right way, even when it would be easier not to.” That distinction between gamesmanship and character is where trust is built, and where long-term success takes root. In high-performing teams, the culture often mirrors that of the locker room. There's a shared commitment, a sense of personal responsibility, and an understanding that no one wins alone. Whether it's a quarterback investing in private coaching to stay competitive well into his 40s or a top-producing business executive building meaningful client relationships beyond the sales pitch, the edge comes from discipline, preparation, and a relentless work ethic. Bernstein often points to examples like Tom Brady—not because of his accolades, but because of the less visible effort that fueled them. While most people see the highlight reels, they don't see the nutritionists, neurologists, and sleep coaches behind the scenes. That level of commitment is what championship leadership requires: doing the work that others won't, without cutting corners, and without needing applause. In the business world, the lesson is the same. Top performers don't simply show up when it's convenient. They stay ahead by consistently executing the fundamentals. They invest in their teams. They show up with curiosity and ask questions. They visit their clients' operations in person. And perhaps most importantly, they build relationships that aren't transactional—they're built on trust and value. For leaders aiming to build stronger cultures, Bernstein encourages shifting the mindset from hiring the “best” people to hiring the right people. He recalls how legendary coach Pat Summitt built her championship legacy not by recruiting the top-ranked players, but by finding those who shared her values, work ethic, and team-first mentality. It's a powerful reminder that championship leadership begins with alignment—not just with skills, but with culture, attitude, and mission. Trust, according to Bernstein, isn't given. It's earned through behavior, consistency, and shared experience. It also requires a willingness to teach, not just manage. He recalls how Summitt saw herself more as a teacher than a coach—a subtle but powerful shift that cultivated loyalty, performance, and team cohesion. The idea that “will beats skill” echoes throughout Bernstein's work. While some athletes are born with undeniable gifts, most reach the top through effort, sacrifice, and resilience. It's the same for business leaders. Talent might open the door, but championship leadership is what keeps it open—and expands the path for others. Ultimately, leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room or the name at the top of the org chart. It's about showing up every day, doing the work, and holding yourself to a higher standard. Bernstein's insights serve as a reminder that greatness leaves clues—and that those clues are often hidden in plain sight. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

In episode 309 of the Glass and Out Podcast we have the pleasure of being joined by Penn State University Head Coach Guy Gadowsky. One could argue that outside of the NHL, no hockey team in the world will receive as much attention as the Nittany Lions this upcoming season. Led by Gadowsky since 2011, the program is coming off its first trip to the Frozen Four and this offseason, recruited a ton of talent to an already loaded roster, including the consensus #1 pick in the upcoming NHL draft, Gavin McKenna. Ranked in the top 5 preseason college polls, Gadowsky had Penn State primed to make a lot of noise this season. Listen as he shares the importance of a well defined team structure, the keys to finding chemistry with high-end talent, and overcoming adversity on the way to a Frozen Four appearance.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Morgan Housel is the New York Times Bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, Same As Ever, and The Art of Spending Money. His books have sold over 10million copies and have been translated into more than 60 languages. This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. Notes: Morgan dedicated The Art of Spending Money to "Kellie the Unicorn" (his sister Kellie) after she was diagnosed with colon cancer and asked him to fulfill her long-running joke request. Sometimes book dedications "mean nothing to the reader, but they can mean everything to the author." People Who Bet on You - Brian Richards (Motley Fool boss) bet on Morgan when he didn't have to, providing unconditional support for a mediocre college writer. Craig Shapiro (Collaborative Fund) pursued Morgan for months to join his tiny VC firm as a full-time blogger when it wasn't a business necessity. What money can't buy - Morgan once heard a story from a priest that he'll never forget… It's from a priest who delivers the last rites in hospitals. He described the difference between what kids say to their parents when they're about to die. The priest tells them to tell their parents what they're most grateful for… In families with lots of problems, the kids usually talk about something that costs money. In the best families, the ones with solid relationships, the kids say the same thing every time. “Thank you for believing in me.” Making vs. Spending Money - "There are literally tens of thousands of books written on how to make money... There are virtually no books written about how to spend money." Most people assume spending needs no guidance, but wealthy people often demonstrate this isn't true. The Internal vs. External Scoreboard - Donald Crowhurst (fake sailor who killed himself seeking external validation) vs. Bernard Moitessier (expert sailor who quit before winning to avoid attention and live authentically). Modern society pushes us toward Crowhurst's external validation while we actually want Moitessier's internal satisfaction. The simplest formula for a pretty nice life: independence plus purpose. The independence to do what you want, and the wisdom to want to do meaningful things. Chuck Feeney's Wealth Example - The duty-free store billionaire first lived the stereotypical rich lifestyle, realized he didn't like it, then chose to live modestly and give away $10 billion. "I was happy when I was giving money away, and I was not happy when I wasn't giving money away." Every Dollar of Debt - "Every dollar of debt that you have is a piece of your future that someone else owns." Debt narrows the range of outcomes you can endure in an unknowable future. Money and Happiness Research - Recent studies show that earning more money only helps if you're already happy, joyful, and content. For depressed, anxious people, more money doesn't improve well-being. "It leverages whoever you are in either direction." What Money Can't Buy - The book is "40% about how to spend money to make yourself happier and 60% about realizing what money cannot do for you." Relationships, health, and personal fulfillment must come first. “Comedians are the best thought leaders because they understand how the world works, but they want to make you laugh rather than making themselves feel smart.” "Nobody gives a shit about anything other than how you make them feel." Vacation - Morgan realized while building sandcastles with his kids on the beach in Maui (10/10 experience) that building Legos at home with them was almost as good (9/10). The real value was "uninterrupted time with my family," which required travel to avoid daily distractions but pointed to what actually mattered. Ambition - Morgan's career drive crystallized while kayaking past $25 million mansions on Lake Washington in 2010: "I need to work harder. I want one of those one day." This wasn't envy but ambition - though he notes the line between inspiration and envy is thin, especially once you know the person. A high savings rate is not "saving" but is "purchasing independence." Each saved dollar buys freedom to handle life's unknowable future without someone else's schedule dictating his choices. Why Spending Is Complicated People try to fill emotional holes with material purchases Society tells us what we should like, which may not align with our actual preferences We chase peer comparison rather than personal satisfaction We overestimate the social rewards of nice possessions The Independence Framework Save money not for retirement but for freedom to handle uncertainty Debt narrows your options when life throws curveballs Independence means being able to do what you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want The Internal Scorecard "No one's watching. No one's thinking about you." When people notice your possessions, they're either imagining themselves having them or envying you for them Neither response gives you the social validation you're seeking Use money to buy independence rather than others' admiration Relationship Investments Focus on what creates "uninterrupted time with people you love" Consider how purchases enable deeper connections (bigger kitchen for family dinners) vs. impressing others Remember that belief and support matter more than material provision Purpose Morgan's purpose became clear the moment he became a father: "There. That's it... I don't matter anymore. That's the only thing that matters right there." Purpose can be parenthood, work, religion, or community, but it needs to be bigger than yourself. "Comedians are the best thought leaders because they understand how the world works, but they want to make you laugh rather than making themselves feel smart." They deliver profound psychological and social insights while focusing on how they make you feel, not their own status. Regret -- Gerontologist Carl Pillemer interviewed 1,000 Americans aged 90-100. Not a single one said, "I wish I earned more money" or "I wish I worked harder." Nearly all said "I wish I spent more time with my kids" and "I wish I were nicer to my spouse." Inspiration vs. Envy -- Morgan credits James Clear as inspiration for "The Psychology of Money" and describes him as incredibly successful yet humble and kind. This creates pure inspiration without envy, unlike other successful writers whose personalities trigger competitive feelings.
