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:
17:45: “If you compare what you've got to something better, you're gonna feel worse. If you compare what you've got to something worse, you're gonna feel better. About what you've got. This isn't rocket science. It is psychological science.”
19:03: “Evaluation is where we judge. Creation is about what is to be, and that doesn't exist yet. We haven't created it yet. It hasn't yet come to pass.”
20:37 “Anxiety is defined by our imagination of worse things to come, and it creates a fight or flight response in our body because we're, we're in danger and our brain is there to keep us safe and then to prove us right?”
21:41: ”You're always right about how you feel, how you feel is 100% consistent with the way your brain is doing these two processes, evaluation and creation.”
23:54: ”Creation mode and creation starts with discontent, which is not a pleasant emotion, but it's the only thing that will get a creator moving forward. Mm. Discontent is the starting point for a creation process.”
