    Tara VanDerveer, Hall of Fame Stanford coach, three-time national champion and 1996 Olympic gold medal coach, joins Personable to explain why you are either coaching the standard or you are allowing it, why championships are built in the little things, and why there is no shortcut to becoming great. In this episode, Tara goes back to falling into coaching after Title IX, how she built the Stanford way after taking over programs that were not winning, why buy-in starts with fit, and why the best memory of a 45-year career is a player calling her an hour after giving birth.

She discusses: ◽️ Why you are either coaching the standard or you are allowing it ◽️ Why the little things create a winning culture ◽️ Why it is often easier to build a great team than it is to maintain one ◽️ Why she would celebrate more, stress less, and never take the fun out of the game 00:00 Introduction and Tara VanDerveer background 00:42 How she fell into coaching after Title IX 02:14 Building the Idaho, Ohio State and Stanford way 04:21 Holding players accountable 05:21 Why the little things create a winning culture 08:11 How she and her players kept getting better 10:46 Creating buy-in before NIL and the portal 12:29 Advice for young athletes without the right mentors 18:57 When some teammates buy in and others do not 25:36 Why the process matters more than the podium 30:43 Favorite memories, including Olympia Scott 32:33 The one thing she wants listeners to take away Tara VanDerveer: ◽️ Stanford: https://gostanford.com/staff/tara-vanderveer ◽️ X (Twitter): https://x.com/taras_tweets Harvey Bracken-Smith: ◽️ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/harveybracken-smith ◽️ Instagram: https://instagram.com/harveybsmith ◽️ X (Twitter): https://x.com/harveybsmith_ ◽️ Newsletter: https://personable.substack.com/ ◽️ Website: https://www.personable.media/ Personable Podcast: ◽️ Instagram: https://instagram.com/personable.podcast ◽️ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/personablepodcast ◽️ TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@personableclips ◽️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7JOTYDER6m2FDrlhop4api ◽️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/personable/id1671640111 Additional: ◽️ Fundraising: https://www.loulouracefoundation.org/donate Personable is a podcast dedicated to helping listeners become the best they can be by learning from the world's best in their respective fields.

    Aswath Damodaran, Professor of Finance at NYU Stern and the Kerschner Family Chair in Finance Education, widely known as the Dean of Valuation, joins Personable to explain why 90 percent of people should stop trying to beat the market, and why he still teaches after more than 40 years. In this episode, Aswath goes back to the first class he walked into as a TA in 1981, why valuation is a craft you learn on simple companies first, why the Fed is the Wizard of Oz, and why your biggest edge as a young investor is your age, not your stock picks. This is an essential listen for anyone interested in investing, valuation, markets, AI businesses, teaching as a craft, and what it actually takes to build wealth over decades instead of trying to get rich quickly. He discusses: ◽️ Why 90 percent of people should be in passive index funds rather than trying to pick winners ◽️ Why he calls himself incredibly selfish, and why almost everything he writes is him working through his own uncertainty ◽️ Why the Fed has far less power than markets think, and why “the Fed did it” became the excuse for underperformance ◽️ Why market timing almost never beats buying and holding, and why your age is a bigger edge than stock picking 00:00 Introduction and Aswath Damodaran background 00:29 The first class in 1981 and why he still teaches 07:42 How to value AI companies, SpaceX and the Mag 7 14:50 US debt, inflation and who actually gets hurt 25:22 The Fed as the Wizard of Oz 29:06 Why 90 percent of people should just buy the index 47:30 Easy returns, bad habits and why he does not sit in cash 53:37 No gurus, no bucket list, and the one thing to take away Aswath Damodaran: ◽️ Website: https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/New_Home_Page/home.htm ◽️ Blog: https://aswathdamodaran.blogspot.com ◽️ Substack: https://aswathdamodaran.substack.com ◽️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AswathDamodaranonValuation ◽️ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aswathdamodaran ◽️ X (Twitter): https://x.com/aswathdamodaran Harvey Bracken-Smith: ◽️ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/harveybracken-smith ◽️ Instagram: https://instagram.com/harveybsmith ◽️ X (Twitter): https://x.com/harveybsmith_ ◽️ Newsletter: https://personable.substack.com/ ◽️ Website: https://www.personable.media/ Personable Podcast: ◽️ Instagram: https://instagram.com/personable.podcast ◽️ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/personablepodcast ◽️ TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@personableclips ◽️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7JOTYDER6m2FDrlhop4api ◽️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/personable/id1671640111 Additional: ◽️ Fundraising: https://www.loulouracefoundation.org/donate Personable is a podcast dedicated to helping listeners become the best they can be by learning from the world's best in their respective fields.
