    From Gold Medal to Founding a Nonprofit: Stacy Dragila's Next Chapter (Pt. 2) | Ep 56

    In Part 2 of our conversation with Olympic gold medalist Stacy Dragila and therapist China Hopkins, we go deeper into the mental side of elite performance — and get some of the best stories of the whole series.Stacy and China break down how they coach athletes through pressure, fear, and self-doubt: the "fact vs. feeling" framework, why confidence is a receipt you earn rather than something you fake, and how breathing techniques and visualization actually rewire the brain. Stacy opens up about how much of her Olympic success she credits to trusting her coach's process over years, even when the goals on paper seemed impossible.Then things get fun — Stacy tells the incredible story of using her Olympic medal to talk her way into a party, meeting Nike co-founder Phil Knight completely by chance, and how that encounter led to a shoe deal she designed herself. We also hear about her push for multi-sport development in young athletes, and her two current projects: the Stacy Dragila Foundation and a nonprofit bringing pole vault ("stick jumping") to over 50,000 kids nationwide.#StacyDragila #PoleVault #OlympicGoldMedalist #TrackAndField #TeamUSA #SydneyOlympics #MentalPerformance #SportsPsychology #ConfidenceBuilding #TrustTheProcess #YouthSports #MultiSportAthlete #TeenMentalHealth #TheSuccessBlueprint #Part2 #IdahoFalls #Olympian #Motivation #Resilience Connect with us!

    The Jimmy John's Business Model Every Real Estate Agent Needs to Hear w/ Jeremy Larkin pt 2 | Ep 52

    Jeremy Larkin is back for Part 2 and this one is packed. He opens up three physical script binders on camera, shares how he hired a coach just two months into his career, and makes one of the most compelling cases you will hear for why real estate agents need to stop thinking like realtors and start thinking like business owners. He uses Jimmy John's as the analogy, and once you hear it, you will not forget it. He also gets into the coaching programs he is running now, including the Made for More Collective for agents already selling 24 or more homes a year who are experiencing what he calls the consequences of success, and a new group called Ascent launching soon for agents who are ready to move up from 3 to 12 deals a year into real production. Jeremy also shares how he manages his energy across back to back high demand days, what two completely separate coaches told him on the same morning without knowing each other existed, and the single best piece of advice he could give himself 20 years ago if he could go back. He closes with the simplest truth in the business, straight from Tom Ferry: we are in a talk to people business.

    Stop Chasing Deals. Start Building a Business w/ Jeremy Larkin pt. 1 | Ep 51

    Jeremy Larkin has been selling real estate in St. George, Utah for nearly 21 years, closed over 2,200 transactions, and built one of the most recognized teams in Southern Utah. But he started just like most agents do, not knowing what he was getting into, selling six houses in his first year, and figuring it out as he went. In Part 1 of this conversation, Jeremy shares what actually changed his trajectory from six deals to twenty to 161 in a single year. He talks about the Tom Ferry seminar that reframed everything, why treating real estate like a business instead of a job is the most underrated shift an agent can make, how he built his database from a literal phone book, and what obsessively studying sales scripts did for his career in a way that almost nothing else could. He also breaks down what sales actually is and is not, why nobody ever gets convinced to buy a home, and what the best agents are really doing when they pick up the phone after a showing. This one is for any agent trying to build something real, not just chase the next deal.

    The Secret to Building a Winning Team w/ Brandon Lee | Ep 48

    Brandon Lee is back for Part 2, and this one goes deeper into soccer, servant leadership, city council, and what he believes separates truly successful people from everyone else. Brandon has spent 20 years coaching youth and high school soccer here in East Idaho. He shares the coaching philosophy that took Idaho Falls High School's girls program to a third-place state finish in his very first season, after the program hadn't been to state in 22 years. He talks about the "No Beef Family" culture pillar his players created themselves, what he learned studying legendary UNC coach Anson Dorrance, and why he believes sports teach kids lessons no classroom ever could. Then the conversation shifts to Brandon's recent election to the Idaho Falls City Council. He breaks down what "smart growth" actually means, why the relationship between Idaho Falls and surrounding cities has never been stronger, what surprised him most about how a city actually runs, and why he would take the challenges of a growing city over a declining one every single time. He closes with what he believes the most successful people have in common, and it is simpler and more powerful than most people expect.🎙️ The Success Blueprint is hosted by Jason Grider and Morgan Peterson of the Grider & Peterson Team at eXp Realty, serving Idaho Falls and East Idaho. 📍 Learn more about buying or selling in East Idaho: https://www.griderpeterson.com 🏠 Curious what your home is worth? https://www.griderpeterson.com/home-value 🤝 Interested in joining a top-producing team? https://www.griderpeterson.com/join-our-team Listen and follow The Success Blueprint: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team/id1831318703 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2TMqrct5zfUm2AOluyfjPa 🎧 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com.mx/podcasts/911c1355-b2c4-4289-b739-15c8e0cac3d8/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team Follow Grider & Peterson: 📷 Instagram: https://instagram.com/griderpetersonrealestate 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/GriderPeterson 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@griderpetersonrealestate 🐦 X: https://x.com/GriderPeterson #IdahoFallsRealEstate #TheSuccessBlueprint #LeadershipLessons #SmartGrowth #EastIdaho #eXpRealty Chapters0:00 Welcome Back with Brandon Lee 2:06 20 Years of Coaching and Taking Idaho Falls to State 6:47 No Beef Family and How Brandon Builds Team Culture 12:08 What the Winningest Coach in NCAA History Taught Him 16:37 Why He Ran for Idaho Falls City Council 23:56 Smart Growth, Property Rights and the Apartment Debate 42:29 What Highly Successful People Do Differently
