| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to How Leaders Lead. I'm David Novak and I'm here with Kula Callahan. |
| 0:09.3 | Kula, let's get going on three questions. |
| 0:12.4 | In today's three more questions episode, we're diving deeper into your conversation with Roger |
| 0:17.6 | Goodell, who as most of you know, is the commissioner of the NFL. |
| 0:22.1 | Football is back, baby. |
| 0:23.7 | And I am so excited for football season. |
| 0:26.2 | What better episode to kick it off with than Roger Goodell? |
| 0:29.6 | He is the man in charge of the whole league. |
| 0:32.6 | And it's such an amazing conversation. |
| 0:34.9 | Probably my favorite part of the episode was when you asked Roger |
| 0:38.2 | about how it feels to get booed when you're on stage. David, have you been booed before? |
| 0:43.5 | Well, I have to tell you, as the CEO of the public company, I don't think I ever really got |
| 0:48.7 | booed on stage. But I can tell you, I did have to deliver some bad news at times regarding our business performance |

But after listening to that episode, I'm kind of hoping at some point somebody booze me just so I can know what it feels like. Well, just stay tuned. You never know. You might get booed with this podcast, so let's see. I know. Well, hopefully people don't boo at these questions, but let's just roll right into it with today's episode of three more questions. |
| 1:36.5 | All right, question number one. Roger says the biggest threat to the National Football League is complacency. |
| 1:43.2 | And he himself is always learning and trying to make the league a little bit better every single day. |
| 1:49.0 | What advice can you give leaders who are running successful companies on how they can continue to get better even when things are already good? |
| 1:56.4 | I think it's really important that you have a healthy dissatisfaction with the status quo |
| 2:01.6 | and really be looking for what I called unfinished business. |
| 2:06.6 | What hasn't been done yet that you can do that's going to take the company forward? |
