About this Episode This week’s guest, Donald Thompson, digs right in and talks about how growing up the son of a football coach helped guide him to become the man he is today. He treats every day as game day and remembers to celebrate the small wins along his journey. He knows firsthand that the game is not won when everyone is watching, it’s won through relentless practice, in quiet empty stadiums where the only critic is yourself. Donald reminds us that words, narratives and clear objectives matter and the responsibility as to how they are handled are ours alone.
