Hello everybody. Welcome to How Leaders Lead where every week you get to listen in while I

interview some of the very best leaders in the world. I break down the key learning so that by the

end of the episode, you'll have something simple you can apply as you develop into a better leader.

That's what this podcast is all about. And today's guest is

Tom Brady, the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's one of my favorite leaders. And if you know

anything about Tom Brady, you know he's incredibly disciplined. I mean, his nutrition, his fitness, his training, his prep, his mindset.

The guy is just relentless about it all. And that hard work is a huge reason why he's the greatest

of all time, the goat. But here's what a lot of people miss. And I want to make sure that you don't miss it. What we're

really seeing when we see Tom's work ethic is someone who has said, I am willing to back up my

goals with disciplined actions. In the NFL and in business, everybody wants to win. I mean,

duh, right, but not everybody is willing to work hard in order to win.

But Tom is. His actions prove just how committed he is. He walks the talk day in and day out,

off the field and on the field. It sets him apart as a leader, and it's the big takeaway for you today.

As a leader, do you back up your goals with disciplined action?

So here's my conversation with my good friend and soon to be yours, Tom Brady.

Well, everyone has their own style and their own way of leading.

And today's guest, Tom Brady, the greatest NFL quarterback of all time.

The goat is definitely the best leader that I have ever talked to in my life.

And he's a leader who leads by example.

Tom, thanks so much for being such a good friend

and thanks so much for taking the time to have this conversation. I appreciate you having me.

I'm a little bit flattered and obviously humbled by, you know, the greatest leader you've ever met
