#45: Staying in the Moment with Barry Sanders
Today on the show we’re talking with Barry Sanders about his esteemed football career, winning the heisman, breaking records, and being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Barry talks about how he is always raising his own bar, there is never a “top”, you’re always working, and grinding to achieve your goals. Even as a young kid Barry was consumed by football, he would watch the games every week, go out and throw the ball around, and even play his electronic football games. It was no surprise that he would go on to be one of the greatest players of all time. Barry grew up with 10 siblings, he learned how to compete with his brothers at a young age, that taught him to keep pushing himself. Barry always loved what he did and he saw success when the team succeeded, he could have had the all time rushing record in his rookie season, but he let the guys who didn’t get to play often in. He never had to prove anything to anyone but himself. Staying in the moment and not looking too far ahead has been Barry’s motto his whole life. He played with guys in high school who thought they were going to the NFL. Barry knew that he had to take things one step at a time, and become the best without losing focus on where he was.

#Roundtable: Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable with Jeff Fratarcangeli, Jeff Sloan, and Brian Elias
Many businesses and entrepreneurs fail when starting up because they don’t have a proper plan in place. Not just something to get you started, but a plan for the next 8 or 9 years down the road. Jayson, Jeff, Bryan and Jeff talk about looking ahead, and creating an action plan on how to get there, performing that plan every day. The business world moves very fast, that’s why getting complacent in business is like going backwards. If you’re not working to improve your business every single day, other people will be doing that work, and they will surpass you. As Wayne Gretzky once said, “Go where the puck will be, not where it is”. Staying comfortable means you’re not growing, it means you aren’t trying new things and learning from mistakes and successes! You need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable! Experience failure, and learn from those lessons.
