It's Monday morning, everybody, and that means we've got another episode of Three More Questions Coming Your Way. Welcome to How Leaders Lead. I'm Kula Callahan, here with David Novak. We're diving into this edition of Three More Questions. David, we're debriefing the conversation you had with Dr. Michael Gervais. He's a high performance psychologist and founder of Finding Mastery. And I love this episode because it's so heady and it's so psychological, and I just freaking love this stuff. I love it too. You know, obviously Michael is one of the best in the world at really mastering performance and and helping people doing it on the mental side of the equations and, you know. One of the things that uh

I think he really likes to do is build people up. Make'em feel good about what they're capable of doing and and so cool. I'm gonna start by saying yesterday I was talking to somebody. And he said, You know

Who's that lady that does your three more questions? And I said, Well, it's cool of Callahan and He said, Well, she is really good. She has such a nice style about her and you guys seem to have a good rapport. And I said, Well The rapport is there, but it is because of her style. And it's also because of her homework and the way how she thinks about what questions she oughta ask me. And so I just thought I'd pass that on and uh And and give you a little uh pat on the back today. Thank you so much, David. I really appreciate that. I'm feeling really pumped up and confident going into today's questions and you better get ready because we're gonna be philosophing in this edition of three more questions. So I need you to dig deep. I need you to dig deep. All right, all right. I'm not very good at philosophy.
