    EP60 - The F1 Argument For & Against Practice

    EP60 - The F1 Argument For & Against Practice

    In this week's episode, the last of Season 6, we explore the dilemma that F1 teams face, just like many of us, in deciding when we're prepared enough, as close to perfection as can be, versus the alternate view of just launching the car or project as soon as is viable and learning more rapidly in the 'real world feedback loop'. I'd love any feedback on the podcast too ahead of Season 7, so please let me know what you like or otherwise. Enjoy.

    EP59 - Chasing F1 Perfection & Racing Driver Relationships

    EP59 - Chasing F1 Perfection & Racing Driver Relationships

    This week, I'm looking at the way F1 teams manage the relationships between drivers, particularly when things get tense in the heat of a championship and what we can learn from it. Plus, With Red Bull having what many describe as the 'perfect' F1 car, I'm questioning the very concept of perfection in F1 or anywhere in life. Enjoy.

    EP57 - Using F1 Strategy In Your Life

    EP57 - Using F1 Strategy In Your Life

    Sometimes even the best laid plans don't quite work out as we expect and that even happens to F1 teams. But when it does go that way, what do those F1 teams do about it? Thinking about strategy and how we adapt it could be the key to turning failure into success. Enjoy.

    EP56 - How Understanding McLaren's F1 Problems Could Help Us all

    This week, I'm looking at the way an F1 team like McLaren gets to the root cause of its car problems to find a fix, rather than simply just treating the symptoms that show up on the surface and how we should all do the same. Enjoy.

    EP55 - The Power Of Understanding F1 Body Language

    EP55 - The Power Of Understanding F1 Body Language

    This week, we look at F1 testing and I share some insights into what we can learn from understanding the body language and other layers of communication that lie behind the official press releases and interviews. Studying and interpreting things like the subconscious language our bodies give off in difficult moments can give a fascinating extra dimension to what's going on behind the messages we receive, but also how we think about the messages we want to send out in our businesses and lives. Enjoy.

Great podcast

I have little to no interest in F1. I started listening after following Elvis on Instagram and getting to know him on one of my favorite shows, Wheeler Dealers. I always take away something positive, from each episode and I’m grateful for it.
