What if greatness isn’t built through one massive breakthrough, but through hundreds of small improvements nobody notices? In this week’s Monday Mojo, Coach John Perry shares the story of British Cycling and performance director Dave Brailsford, who became obsessed with the idea of marginal gains — improving everything by just 1%. They improved equipment. Recovery. Sleep. Hygiene. Training. Even the smallest details others would have ignored. None of it looked revolutionary. But together, those tiny improvements began to compound. The result? British Cycling went from decades of mediocrity to becoming one of the most dominant cycling programs in the world. This episode is a reminder that extraordinary results are usually built from ordinary things done exceptionally well. The world sees the breakthrough. It rarely sees the 1%. In this episode: Why small improvements matter How marginal gains compound over time Why details become your competitive advantage The importance of respecting the work nobody applauds How to identify your own 1% today You don’t need to become 100% better overnight. Just find one thing. Improve it. Stack it. Repeat it. Never Stop Getting Better. Presented by CoxHealth.

What separates teams that win occasionally from programs that win consistently? Culture. Greg Berge www.gb1leadership.com Email: gb1leadership@gmail.com, gregberge@gmail.com On Episode 339 of the Never Stop Getting Better Podcast, John Perry sits down with Greg Berge — longtime educator, championship basketball coach, high school principal, author, speaker, and founder of GB1 Leadership. Greg spent 20 years as a varsity basketball coach, compiling a 393-146 record while winning 11 conference championships — including nine consecutive titles — and three section championships. Today, he uses more than three decades of experience in coaching, education, and leadership to help coaches and organizations build stronger cultures and develop better leaders. Greg is the author of five books and the creator of Culture Wins OS, Team Leader OS, and Better Coach OS. In this conversation, John and Greg dive into what great cultures actually look like, why culture must be built intentionally every day, how coaches can develop player-led teams, the importance of standards and accountability, and why sustained winning begins long before the scoreboard. Greg's philosophy is simple: Culture is what you allow. Culture is what you emphasize. Culture is every day. If you're a coach, teacher, administrator, business leader, or anyone responsible for leading people, this conversation will challenge you to examine the culture you're creating every single day.

What do you do when things aren't going your way? When you're working hard but not getting the opportunity… when someone else controls the decision… when the results aren't matching the work… you have a choice. You can worry, complain, make excuses and obsess over the outcome. Or you can GET BETTER. In this Monday Mojo, Coach John Perry shares two powerful reminders for navigating uncertainty: Control Your Work and Control Your Words. First, when you can't control the outcome, increase your value. Put your head down, go to work and Never Stop Getting Better. Worry doesn't move the needle. ACTION does. Second, pay attention to the words you're speaking to yourself. Your brain is listening. Instead of telling yourself what NOT to do—"Don't mess up," "Don't miss," "Don't be nervous"—flip the script and give yourself a productive instruction: Execute. Compete. Do your job. Next play. Your words can either reinforce your work or sabotage it. This week's challenge is simple: ONE intentional action that makes you better. ONE negative thought that you intentionally reframe. Every day. Control your work. Control your words. And when the future is uncertain, don't predict it. PREPARE FOR IT. Never Stop Getting Better. #NeverStopGettingBetter #NSGB #MondayMojo

Chris Bryant, jchrisbryant.com Email: chris@jchrisbryant.com What happens when the life that looks successful on the outside isn't working on the inside? On Episode 337 of the Never Stop Getting Better Podcast, I sit down with business coach, real estate broker, author, and former pastor Chris Bryant for a powerful conversation about purpose, identity, trust, relationships, and personal growth. Chris has spent more than 25 years in real estate, but his greatest passion is developing people. His own journey forced him to confront a difficult truth: achievement and performance can produce success while quietly becoming the place we look for our identity, security, and worth. We talk about the personal crisis that changed Chris's life, the "relational operating systems" we develop early in life, and how old patterns involving control, approval, and performance can continue running long after they've stopped serving us. Chris also shares two practices that helped change his life: slow down enough to create space between stimulus and response, and invite trusted people into your life who will tell you the truth. We also discuss faith, leadership, attachment patterns, coaching, building great businesses by building great people, and what it really means to live a Life on Purpose. This isn't just a conversation about becoming more successful. It's about becoming more whole. Never Stop Getting Better.

Key Takeaways 1. Wisdom lives in the tension. It doesn’t always have to be work or play, save or spend, tomorrow or today. Mature people learn how to do both. 2. Don’t confuse accumulation with living. There will always be another dollar, title, accomplishment or milestone to chase. At some point we have to ask, “What is all of this for?” 3. Experiences compound too. We understand compound interest, but experiences can also pay dividends for decades through memories, relationships and shared stories. 4. There’s more than one kind of scarcity. We worry about running out of money. We should also remember that we're running out of time. 5. Prepare for winter—but recognize that summer is leaving.

What do great leaders do when the same problem keeps showing up? They stop complaining about the water and start looking for ducks. In this week’s Monday Mojo, Coach John Perry shares the story of a chicken farmer whose land flooded nearly every spring. Year after year, he fought the same battle, trying to move his chickens to higher ground before the water rose too fast. After one devastating flood wiped out his entire flock, he told his wife he didn’t know what else to do. Her answer was simple: “Buy ducks.” That two-word response carries a powerful leadership lesson. Great leaders look for possibilities inside problems. They don’t just react to adversity — they adapt. They anticipate change. They look around the corner. And when the environment shifts, they’re willing to change the method without changing the mission. This episode is especially relevant in a world being reshaped by AI, technology, and rapid change. Leaders who thrive will be the ones who stay curious, prepare early, and find creative solutions before the water gets too high. In this episode: Why leaders must learn to look around the corner How to prepare for change before it becomes a crisis Why adversity often contains hidden opportunities The danger of falling in love with an old solution Why great leaders stay committed to the mission, not the method How E+R=O applies when the event is outside your control Why “What is possible here?” is one of the best leadership questions you can ask The farmer saw water. His wife saw ducks. Same situation. Different lens. Look around the corner. Find the possibility. Adapt when necessary. And Never Stop Getting Better.
