609. What Billy Kidd Taught Me About Finishing Strong

Most people ease up when they’re close to the finish line. They let their form slip, their energy fade, and they coast into the next thing hoping no one notices.

But that’s not how high performers operate.

In today’s episode, Brian shares one of the most impactful lessons he’s ever come across -- delivered by Olympic skier Billy Kidd, who taught that the last three turns are what matter most. Not just on the mountain, but in your business, your leadership, your relationships, and your day.

Because how you finish anything is how you’ll start the next. Sloppy endings reinforce sloppy standards. Strong finishes create momentum and reinforce identity.

We dive into: Why the end of a call, meeting, day, or quarter shapes more than you think, how to build finish-strong rituals that lock in excellence, and the one question every elite operator should ask themselves today.

You don’t just practice how you perform. You perform how you finish. So stop coasting when it counts—and start building a reputation for showing up until the very end.
