The Rising Leader Playing the Bigger Game with Dr. Jeff Spencer
Dr. Jeff Spencer is a speaker and a coach to Tiger Woods, Richard Branson, Dave Asprey, and over 40 Olympic, World, National, and Tour de France gold medalists. He has spent over 300,000 hours helping established founders, visionaries, and creatives perform at their full potential at any time, place, and circumstance. Drawing from his experience as an Olympic cyclist, author, hot glass artist, sports scientist, doctor, husband, and father, Jeff has helped some of the most accomplished individuals, teams, and organizations of our time become iconic brands. He is also the author of Turn It Up!: How to Perform at Your Highest Level for a Lifetime.
Jeff joins me today to discuss playing the bigger game of life and making an impact on humanity. He explains the difference between the “survivor” and “seeker” minds and how our fear-based survival instincts keep us in a life of mediocrity. He details what living a life of grasping entails and outlines how being in constant hyperfocus can keep us from bigger, better, and faster ways to achieve success. Jeff also describes what “receivership” is and highlights how distinguishing yourself as a person requires openness to insights and revelations and taking time to pause and reflect.
“Play the bigger game. Pace yourself and, over time, you’ll get a huge runway to amass a lifetime of experiences. The pauses and recreation are where we creatively open ourselves to receiving better ideas.” - Dr. Jeff Spencer
