    GUEST INTERVIEW: Preston Greene and Shane Perkins – The Mindset of A World Champion

    Today’s episode features a conversation my good friend Preston Greene recently had with world champion cyclist, Shane Perkins.

Shane is a professional track cyclist who won the Bronze Medal in the 2012 London Olympic games and also won 2 world championships.   In this episode, Shane talks about how he trained his mind and mentally prepared to perform, the importance of being coachable as an athlete, and what separated the great coaches from the others in his eyes. He also touches on how to handle success, managing who is in your inner circle, and the importance of patience, persistence and hard work. --- Eight Sleep's new Pod Pro Cover is the easiest and fastest way to sleep at your perfect temperature.

    Michele Gelfand, Author & Cultural Psychologist: Is Your Culture Tight or Loose?

    Subscribe to the *free* newsletter here Click HERE to watch the video referenced in the intro. My guest today is Dr. Michele Gelfand, a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. Gelfand is a cultural psychologist and uses field, experimental, computational, and neuroscience methods to understand the evolution of culture--as well as its multilevel consequences for human groups. She’s also the author of Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire the World, which is the focus of our conversation today. Coaches at all levels talk about building and creating the kind of culture that can produce wins, but what does that really mean? There is no one better to talk to about that than Michele. In this episode, she explains the framework she uses in the book to understand the difference between tight and loose cultures. She covers how social norms dictate whether a culture leans either tight or loose and the advantages and disadvantages of each. The episode is full of examples of companies and how they fit along this spectrum, including United Airlines, Uber, and her current work with the U.S. Navy.

You Gotta Have Wa by Robert Whiting 2.    Who is one person you’d want to hear as a guest on this podcast?  Carol Dweck 3.    What’s one area you’re looking to improve in over the next year?  Meditation 4.    What’s popular advice you hear people say that you think is wrong? Get to the task when negotiating. Her research shows that you actually need to get to know the person first so you signal that you respect them and gain their trust. 5.    What advice do you have for young coaches who are listening to this? Continue to search for your passion 6.    What’s the darkest moment you experienced professionally and how did you overcome it? Trying to get her paper on this topic published in Science. She got through it by having fun and saying she’d wear a costume if the paper was approved to be published Favorite Quotes: “All cultures have both tight and loose elements, but we could think about cultures in terms of their default. Do they lean tight or loose on this continuum?” “What we know from our research is that groups that get too extreme, either too tight or too loose, actually are really dysfunctional and that applies to nations, to organizations, and I would imagine also to sports teams. And for different reasons. When you have a lot of super tight rules, people feel uncomfortable questioning them. They feel like they’re walking on eggshells. Then we have less chance for catching mistakes and being willing to express them. And on the flip side, when you have too much looseness, it’s total chaos. I think back to the definition of social norms. Then we have no ability to coordinate and it’s a mess, and…we need some
