That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr Erik Korem   “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce

Episode 2 Quotable Moments:

12:24 “I think [leading ourselves] really boils down to me to self-regulation. And that means is really two things. One, it means being able to kind of manage, direct, or control your thinking, feeling, and physiology, and as a result. And then two is to optimize how much you learn so that you can better execute the skills that you have on a regular basis.”

14:02 “Lead yourself first into the best, highest performer I can possibly be, so that I can give out everything I have to give to the world around me. That to me, is like true servant leadership. It's not, let me pick up everything for you.”

18:04 “Ultimately, like that's what high performance is. It's knowing what skills to use in what context, and so without context sensitivity, you're not gonna know what skills to use. You can't lead yourself first.”

19:19 “To me, that's what leading yourself is, right? It's about knowing like, how do I be the best me that I can be in each moment. And that involves reading the room essentially, right? Knowing yourself and then adjusting to the feedback from both places.”
