Welcome to How Leaders Lead. I'm Kula Callahan here to bring you another edition of three more

0:08.8

questions with David Novak. These are the episodes where we break down the conversation that David has

0:14.2

with the previous week's guest. And this conversation is going to be a fun one. We're recording it before the Super Bowl, but it will air the day after the Super Bowl.

0:24.9

And the guest that we're talking about is a three-time Super Bowl champion.

0:30.8

His name is Harris Barton, and the guy is a legend.

0:34.1

Yeah, all pro, offensive linemen, you know, protecting Joe Montana and Steve Young,

0:41.7

and a tremendous business person as well. And, you know, I just love this podcast. And it's perfectly

0:48.2

time because it goes right into the Super Bowl this week. And we can't wait to see who comes out

0:53.9

the victor, Kansas City or Philadelphia, and I'm betting on Kansas City because I went to high school in Kansas City. I'm a big cheese fan, and how can you take out Patrick Mahomes in a game like this? Don't think it's going to happen. I don't know, David. The only reason I'm an Eagles fan is because of Jalen Hertz and

1:11.1

Devonte Smith because they went to Alabama. Yeah, well, that's one of the reasons why I don't like them. Okay, well, perfect. We'll battle each other then, too. I do like Sequin Barclay. I mean, he's unbelievable. I'd like to see him get a Super Bowl. These players have all come so far. It's, it's almost sad to see a loser, you know, because they really aren't losers. They're champions that

1:30.7

have gotten into so far. It's, it's almost sad to see a loser, you know, because they really aren't losers. They're champions that have gotten into the biggest game. And, you know, I can't wait to watch it. But like right now, my heartache's for Josh Allen. I mean, the guy continually plays so well, but can't win the big one. Heartache. All the pundits attack him and it's just sickening.

1:45.3

So anyway, let's go.

1:46.5

Three more questions.

1:47.5

That is a great segue into the first question.

1:50.8

Here we go.

1:55.2

Question number one.

1:56.7

As we said earlier, Harris won three Super Bowls with the 49ers.

2:00.1

And in the episode, he talks about just how much pressure players face during that big game. You know, if you drop a pass or fumble the ball, that mistake is with you for really the rest of your career. David, what kind of coaching would you give a player or a teammate who makes a mistake that's so public

2:18.8

that has everybody talking about it? So say that you were coaching Dalton Kincaid who dropped

2:23.8

that fourth down pass from Josh Allen in the AFC championship game a couple weeks ago.

2:28.0

What do you say to him to get over something like that?

2:30.9
