Episode 14 – Activate Your Prey Drive with Coach Micheal Burt
In this episode of Run With The Cheetahs: Your Guide to an Extraordinary Life, Russell Anderson and Jerry sit down with Coach Micheal Burt (“America’s Coach”) to talk about what it really takes to break out of complacency and perform at a championship level.
Coach Burt shares:
- How he went from a small Tennessee town to building an 8‑time state‑championship basketball program
- The “accidental arrogance of success” and why simply working harder isn’t a real growth strategy
- His definition of “prey drive” and the daily routines he uses to activate it
- Why most people gradually settle into mediocrity—and how small, consistent disciplines can pull you out
- The A‑to‑B framework for getting clear on where you are, where you want to go, and who can help you get there
- The big idea behind his new book Screw Your Why and a more practical path to purpose
If you’ve ever felt like you’re capable of more but stuck in “good enough,” this conversation will challenge you to make different decisions, build new habits, and aim your skills at bigger problems.
