    Mindset with Brian Murphy: Belief is Contagious

    ReliaQuest Founder and CEO, Brian Murphy, unpacks one of the most underrated performance advantages: Belief. Murph takes listeners back to the early days - before big wins or a proven track record - when starting a company was fueled less by certainty and more by conviction, necessity, and the refusal to say “I can’t.” He shares practical strategies for leaders on building belief through storytelling, normalizing failure, and stretching high-potential people by putting them in new environments to level up their game. In this conversation with mental performance coach Derin McMains, you'll also hear Murph talk about: Borrowing belief from othersDrawing confidence from past performancesSimplifying the futureThe takeaway is clear: belief is contagious - and so is doubt - so leaders must intentionally shape which one spreads.
