Shop here: http://www.ChinUpChestOut.com This episode of the pod kicks off 2021 a little different, it's a sample of my other podcast I host called The X Factor Podcast. Here's a quick description of the show: A coach & a Navy officer walk into a bar... Just kidding, they used to be a coach and an officer, now they're entrepreneurs and they walk into a podcast studio not a bar. But they do pour a glass of bourbon, sit down, turn on their mics and talk about what it takes to win at the highest level. Whether that's in a stadium, a nuclear sub, the business world or anywhere else for that matter. What does it take? It takes the X-Factor. Everyone wants it, few possess it and even fewer recognize it when they see it. These two guys will show you what it is and what it takes. Tune in (or don't). You can subscribe to that here: TheXFactorPodcast.com

We often brainwash ourselves into thinking “our business is different” or “our industry is different.” Or that political campaigning must be different than entrepreneurship. This misconception couldn't be further from the truth. The fundamentals are fundamental in every industry and when you can create a system, you bring calm to chaos and clarity to confusion. Whether you’re a politician or entrepreneur, you’re in the same business. You’re first and foremost in the relationship business, then the business of whatever field you work in. A campaign, whether it’s a political campaign, a crowdfunding campaign or a business-development campaign is essentially a system with a clearly defined outcome, starting point and finish line. In this episode we break it all down with guest expert Paul Weaver, who is a career educator (college professor) and is running a campaign for local office in his town.  NOTE: We do NOT discuss politics, merely the parallels between an election campaign and new business development. You'll IMMEDIATELY hear about numerous opportunities and strategies you previously hadn't considered.   For more information go to: http://www.CoachBru.com For more info on our guest go to: http://www.ElectPaulWeaver.com

An in depth interview with Steve Colfer, Head Coach of the 2019 NCAA Champion Cabrini University Men's Lacrosse Team. In 19 seasons at the helm of the Cabrini men’s lacrosse program, Colfer has mentored the Cavaliers to 19 consecutive conference championships and 18 straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament. Colfer is a 13-time Coach of the Year and owns a commanding 284-72 career record. His .798 winning percentage ranks among the top 10 coaches of all-time in Divisions I, II and III.  In 2019, Colfer led the program to the University's first NCAA championship with a 16-12 victory over Amherst College.  And in the process they closed the season on a 15-game win streak, finishing the season 22-2, one win shy of the NCAA record for wins in a season. We discuss this season the media called a "magical run" (which I predicted before the season even started) as well as: Building a championship culture The power of hope Why you should root for your competition Empowering your staff and team leadership The importance of continuity Plus a whole lot more.

An in depth interview with perhaps the most controversial and widely misunderstood coach in America, Jason Brown. Jason is the star of the Netflix documentary series Last Chance U. Seasons #3 and #4 feature Jason and his team at Independence Community College. We dive into how he is such a lightning rod and polarizing public figure, as well as WHY he's misunderstood. The conversation also turns to authenticity in a world of fakes as well as the fact that there's very little "reality" in reality TV. We also discuss Jason's terrific new book Hate Me Now, Love Me Later as well as his time at Indy and the experience of being followed around by television cameras 24-7. There are a lot of people I meet who I recommend write a book, most don't. Jason is one of the few who not only took the advice but also did it in record time.  You get to see a VERY different side of the man in his book, I recommend you get yourself a copy here:  www.TheRealCoachJB.com

Interview with veteran, leadership expert, entrepreneur and author, Jon Rennie. We discuss his new book I Have The Watch and the fabulous foreword written for the book which, in my humble but highly accurate opinion, is worth the purchase price in and of itself. :-) Get yourself a copy here: http://www.IHaveTheWatch.com How good is I Have The Watch? So good that, if you aren't 100% satisfied with it, I'll buy the book back from you. That's how good, now go get it...

A discussion on depression in entrepreneurship.  The interview is based on his groundbreaking article  #HustleHarder - A Study of Mental Health in the Entrepreneurship Community. Val is saying what millions of entrepreneurs are feeling but believe it's taboo to talk about. We also expose the fraudulent online goo-roos who promote "Hustle Porn”. Which is using the power of social media to convince others to take risks not right for them, by pushing a lifestyle that isn’t just unreasonable, but downright dangerous for many people. Note: I use Proof Factor on my website. I'm not an affiliate, I receive no compensation for promoting it. I simply do so because it's a great resource and tool that you can benefit from as I am.  Guest expert: Val Gui, founder of  https://prooffactor.com/  The article:  https://prooffactor.com/blog/31-of-entrepreneurs-fear-theyll-go-out-of-business/

Performance Report Episode #513 The late Reverend Billy Graham once said: "A coach will impact more lives in one year than an average person will in a lifetime." I don't believe that quote is limited to just coaches and this episode will explain precisely why. *Episode #513 is dedicated to the Memory of Marylyn S. Mills.

Performance Report Episode #512 Intellectual Laziness is destroying our country. It's also destroying your team's results if you allow it. Stadium Status billionaires practice what I call The 60 Minute Rule. They invest at least an hour a day in learning. Leaders are readers. When do you schedule reading into your day?

The worst thing you can do is expect results. The best thing you can do is just put in the work, one step at a time based on a system with a track record of success. When you expect results to occur and they don’t magically appear your mind assumes nothing is happening. In reality a lot is actually happening, you just don’t see it. This episode shows you that when it looks like nothing is happening is precisely when the most growth is actually taking place.

Performance Report Episode #510 Too many people dream about the finish line and want success to be easier than it is. Then they wonder why they never achieve it. This episode unpacks why the desire for "easy" is the road to ruin and how shortcuts actually derail your progress.

Performance Report Episode #509 Life's trails are full of surprises and not easy to navigate. Yet the most rewarding ones are the most challenging ones.

Those four names are the names of plays the Los Angeles Rams football team use as audibles. This actually has EVERYTHING to do with you and making 2018 your best year ever. Quarterbacks aren't the only ones who call audibles; all successful people do. I bet you do too whether you realize it or not. The question is: Are you doing it often enough and at the right times?

Your Future Is Probably Way Behind Schedule, but you're not alone. 92% of people who make New Year's resolutions fail to achieve them.  This episode contains a quick primer on 5 steps you can take to avoid being in the dreadful 92%. Also included is an announcement on my small group coaching program I'm making available to listeners for the first time. More info here: http://geni.us/accountability
