Today's conversation will help you shift your mind when it matters most.  My guest believes that when it's time to practice, you need one mindset. When it's time to perform, you need to call upon a different frame of mind. His book gives you the WHY, WHEN, and HOW to do just that.  If you want to do a deep dive into his work head to Brian's Website.  If you have an upcoming job interview, or you're thinking of launching a podcast, or you just want to have more damn good conversations in your life, say hello here: Joe@onepercentbetterproject.com As always, thanks for listening! --JF

Today's conversation is available as video here. The year was 1998.  My guest was certain he would be the 1st or 2nd pick in the NFL draft. A guy named Peyton Manning went first. Today's guest was next. Ryan Leaf's road to age 44 has not always been pretty, but he's here to tell about it. Today he shares his struggles, his current life's work, and what the words "comparison is the thief of joy" mean to him.  I hope you enjoy it.  I know it will make you 1% better.

Today's episode aims to help you ask better questions.  Those questions lead to better conversations.  You do not need to yearn to start a podcast to see tremendous value in having damn good conversations. Great conversations help us connect. They helps us lead our teams. They help us earn more money.  One of my favorite types of questions is what I have named high-velocity questions.  That idea was shared this week on a newsletter reaching 25,000 people.
