QUOTES
“The key is using stress and being able to adapt to it and improve. That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr Erik Korem
“I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce

Episode 2 Quotable moments:
21:33 “The ability to look at things differently. Because when we're in the middle of the moment and we've got blinders on, but we have this focus, we have a tendency to see things just as we think they are. But if we can step back and be curious about, well, if I look at it from this vantage point, what if, okay, if someone says something to you and you execute the yes, and.
22:54: ”It's not about reducing stress, we spend so much time focused on reducing stress. The only way you grow is through discomfort and disorder. So how do we make order out of the chaos inside a stressful situation? We have to increase our capacity to manage that stress. And to grow through those stressful situations and navigate it. That’s what resilient leaders do.”
23:28 “I firmly believe that problems are something that we don't know how to solve. And what a problem really is, is a creative opportunity, it's a creative opportunity for ourself and for our team to collaborate and share ideas.”
27:07 “You're a part of something bigger than yourself. And do you embrace your role and, not only embrace your role, that doesn't mean accept it. Like everyone says, oh, you better accept your role. No, don't accept it. Like, if this is what the team needs me to do right now, this is what I'm gonna do.”
32:58 “Like what is our singleness of purpose that we have every single day, and do we talk about it? Is that a conversation that we have? Or, are we living in a created environment where we're afraid to talk about it? Like we don't want to put ourselves out there. But your objectives have to be a shared vision.”

Episode 4 Quotable moments:
53:10 “Your day starts at the time you went to bed on the previous night. So that means try to go to bed at a consistent time because restorative sleep will improve your brain function by repairing, resetting, and rejuvenating.”
54:11 “Have your breakfast at a consistent time. Because when you change that breakfast time by a couple of hours from one day to another, it's almost like giving your clock a jet lag.”
55:43 “If you’re a professional athlete, then late afternoon exercise is much better to improve your performance, and achieve your peak performance because that's the time when your body is already warmed up.”
57:03 “If you can be outdoors for 30 to 60 minutes, that's the best antidepressant. So you can reduce your depression, and increase intellectual performance.”

Episode 1 Quotable moments:
00:48 “Victory undefined is what? It's victory unfulfilled like if you don't know what winning means to you, if you can't clearly articulate what success means to you and why, that's what it means to you, you're not gonna figure out how to go about achieving it at the highest level.”
06:43 ” When you can define winning in a way that your people feel like they're better, that there's meaning behind it, that it makes them better as people. Okay. That it makes them contribute to the greater good. When you can define winning as an inclusive culture where your level of value isn't simply determined by your output.”
012:33 “And when you sit there and you talk about values, when you talk about, okay, I understand my values, how well do you communicate them?”
014:01 “You know, we talk all the time about growing through adversity, not going through adversity. So many folks focus on, okay, let's just get through this. If we can just get through this, we're gonna be okay. How do you grow through that adversity?
015:01 “Values lead to intangibles. And intangibles are the little things. Okay. What separates you? And we often, like in athletics, we talk about intangibles, right? Diving for loose balls, you know, making the extra effort, talking, communicating with your teammates, being the coach on the floor.

40:18 *“We discovered that just like light and darkness boosts our circadian rhythm and the brain, eating, fasting, and maintaining that rhythm consistently boosts our circadian rhythm in the rest of the body.”
48:00 “What we see with time-restricted feeding in animals is this immune function is tuned to the right level. It's not too high and it's not too low. One more thing that we see is gut microbiome becomes more diverse, and also we have more beneficial microbes.”
49:41 “In human studies, those who can do eight to 10 hours of time-restricted eating, even if they did it for three months minimum, saw a reduction in LDL cholesterol and reduction in triglyceride.*
