    Leadership Starts With Your Example - Mike Norvell, Florida State University Football, Head Coach

    You can say all the right words. But if you won't put the action in front of them, nobody's going to listen. That's the standard Florida State head football coach Mike Norvell holds himself to and it started long before he was the youngest FBS head coach in the country at 34. From graduate assistant at the University of Central Arkansas to head coach of the Seminoles, Norvell built his career on a single conviction: never hold a title too big for a task that's necessary. This conversation isn't really about football culture, it's about the daily choice every leader makes to model the standard before demanding it. ReliaQuest Director of Mental Performance Derin McMains is also joined by former US Navy SEAL and current ReliaQuest mental performance coach Josh Cox. He spent 27 years as a SEAL.  In this conversation with both McMains and Cox, you'll also hear Coach Norvell discuss: 'Good morning' is a choice you make every dayDelegation isn't leadership - Development isFear regret more than you fear failureReliaQuest exists to Make Security Possible, allowing security teams to detect and contain threats within minutes — anytime, anywhere.

    Why Greatness Starts With Surrender - Joe Mazzulla, Boston Celtics Head Coach

    Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla shares a leadership philosophy every business leader needs to hear. From taking over the Celtics just days before training camp to leading the team to an NBA championship, Mazzulla explains why greatness begins with surrender: accepting that failure is possible, refusing to tie your identity to outcomes, and staying grounded in purpose. This isn't really an episode about basketball. It's about what it actually costs - emotionally, psychologically, spiritually - to chase something great. In this conversation with ReliaQuest Director of Mental Performance Derin McMains, you'll also hear Joe discuss: How he defines mental toughness that goes against conventional thinkingTrust is built in daily interactions, not in once-a-week meetingsThe job of a great leader is to one day be forgottenReliaQuest exists to Make Security Possible, allowing security teams to detect and contain threats within minutes — anytime, anywhere.

    UFC top contender Tatiana Suarez talks about the mindset that helped her overcome extraordinary adversity to reach the top of her profession. You'll hear about her journey from being the top amateur wrestler in the U.S. and an Olympic hopeful to being diagnosed with thyroid cancer at 19.
