A Holiday Special! This is a short snippet from our favorite part of episode #1 - Paul LeCrone on Competitive Gaming: Focus on Process vs Outcomes. 

In this clip my guest, Paul and I talk about how you have to first understand the rules to a game before you can break them. But it's in breaking them that true innovation and creativity occur.

"Every practice has a set of rules which governs it. Mastery occurs with the realization of these rules. Innovation occurs at the point of intelligent and creative rebellion against them." - Fiel Valdez

Happy Holidays!

Alex has a fascinating story. He's a master tracker in South Africa. He started his career in 1995 at the world renowned Game Reserve called Londolozi. He has spent the last 25 years perfecting the skills of wild life tracking. He has dedicated much of his life to learning this ancient skill. He eventually qualified as one of a handful of tracker assessors, the youngest ever to achieve this feat. Over the last two decades Alex has tracked jaguars in the Amazon jungle, bears in California, grizzlies and wolves in Montana, pumas in Patagonia, and the famous black main lions of the Kalahari. 

Alex has an unbelievable story. We go deep into what it takes to be a master tracker, what are the skills and attributes that make someone good at this incredibly nuanced and incredibly intuitive skill that can only really be learned with deliberate practice. 

Alex has written two books on the topic, a best seller tracker book called the tracker manual, and a new book called Changing the Leopard's Spots, which documents his relationship with his mentor and friend, Renias Mhlongo. Alex is also the director of a tracking academy where he teaches unemployed people the traditional skills of tracking. 

Alex and I get deep into his journey as a tracker in the African bush and around the world. I could not have been more excited for this conversation and I honestly could not have ended up enjoying it more.
