What separates true professionals from talented amateurs? Former NFL captain Brian Peters reveals why predictable performance trumps occasional brilliance. Drawing from his journey from undrafted player to NFL captain, Peters challenges conventional wisdom about success in high-performance environments.

In this episode, learn:

  • How embracing critical feedback accelerates your growth
  • Why top performers prioritize consistency over occasional excellence
  • What professional coaches value most in their team members
  • How to build systems that drive continuous improvement
  • The overlooked advantage of being "boringly" consistent

What's the difference between urgency and anxiety in leadership? Ted Rath, former VP of Player Performance for the Philadelphia Eagles, reveals how to maintain drive without burning out. In this enlightening conversation, Ted shares how his concept of "urgent patience" transformed his approach to leadership, from managing NFL superstars to raising three kids.

Drawing from his new book "Beyond Comfort," Ted breaks down why true growth mindset goes far beyond just reading research papers.

Learn:

  • The counterintuitive way to be urgent without being aggressive
  • Why most leaders misunderstand what drives sustained growth
  • How to maintain humility while leading at the highest level
  • The three relationships every leader needs for continued growth
