    From No Connections to VIP Network: How Free-Work is the Path to Influence & Wealth

    “College-football playbooks weren’t half as tough as the leadership drills Marc Nudelberg just put me through.” Former Division-I coach-turned-performance strategist Marc Nudelberg sat across from me and proved that the grit it takes to build championship teams on Saturday is the exact same grit businesses need at 7 a.m. Monday.  From becoming the NCAA’s youngest coordinator at 26, to re-engineering sales cultures with his firm On The Ball, Marc has turned the locker-room 1% rule, get a little better every day, into a bottom-line growth engine that works long after the stadium lights go out. Marc explains why discipline beats talent once you hit the pros, how to reverse-engineer giant goals into today’s non-negotiable behaviors, and the boundary system he uses to protect his three priorities: self-care, family, and the business. 💡 In this episode, we dive into: ✅ The real 1% rule: translating Tuesday’s invisible reps into Saturday’s visible wins ✅ Preparation • Personalization • Persistence: Marc’s 3-P framework for recession-proof business development ✅ Warren Buffett’s 5/25 filter, and why your to-do list probably needs a shredder ✅ Failure as fuel: what getting fired taught Marc about owning outcomes he didn’t cause ✅ Time blocking like a coach: turning 20 NCAA hours into a masterclass on modern time management Marc also shares the mindset hack that detaches action from emotion (“Feel tired, run anyway”), reveals how to turn no-pay grunt work into career-defining opportunities, and reminds every leader that caring enough to tell the hard truth is still the ultimate competitive advantage.   Follow along on social media:  Website: https://moshepopack.com/ Twitter: https://x.com/MPopack Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/MPopack Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@mpopack Subscribe to the Common Denominator podcast on audio: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/common-denominator/id1565857789 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/49iQi2FZsIYdzZEs0HwM70?si=155631409c70417c Timestamps: 00:00 Control What You Can Control 02:42 The 1% Philosophy in Leadership 05:49 Goal Setting and Daily Behaviors 08:46 Time Management and Prioritization 11:57 Discipline and Consistency in Performance 14:45 Learning from Failure 20:54 The Importance of Emotional Awareness 23:52 Creating Value Through Hard Work 28:04 On the Ball: Coaching for Improvement 29:52 The Common Denominator of Great Leaders

    Scale Your Business Without Burning Out: 3 Rules From Leadership Expert Adrian Koehler

    What does relentless leadership really look like?This week, I sat down with leadership expert Adrian Koehler to unpack the mindset to lean on when business gets brutal – and it’s not just grit. It’s the ability to keep going when the numbers don’t add up, the pressure’s insane, and every exit looks tempting. We break down what it means to lead with both toughness and heart, why failure shouldn’t scare you, and how spirituality helps make high-stakes decisions without losing people in the process. 💡In this conversation we cover:✅ Why relentlessness isn’t about force – it’s about refusing to give up on your mission or your people ✅ How to take the hit, own the mistake, and still build loyalty ✅ Why idealism will burn you out (and what to believe in instead) ✅ The mindset for staying calm under chaos: “The tightrope is only two feet off the ground” We also get into why courage is less about taking the hill and more about telling the truth, even when it’s hard – and why showing grace (to yourself and your team) might just be the most powerful leadership skill there is.
