This episode is brought to you by True Classic. They're a great company and I love their CEO. I've actually been wearing their t-shirts long before they became a sponsor. Their stuff is pretty fantastic, so do check it out. Do you prefer coaching teens or do you want to go back and coach SEALs?
If the Navy College said We're looking for somebody to coach seals. Would you entertain the job if it meant leaving the kids? Oh, if it meant leaving them, uh I c I don't know that I can answer that question. Um It would be a torturous decision.
It would be a torturous decision. When we try to think of what it takes to inspire a team, we often picture a big, dramatic speech or making some sort of bold, powerful move, but sometimes it takes a lot less. Simply understanding how a team is feeling is all it takes to inspire them and help them operate at their natural best. That's what I love about Gordon Schmidt.
