| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about how you become world-class at something. And honestly, in researching for this, it just made me want to stop doing every single thing that I do, apart from one thing and be world-class at it. |
| 0:13.5 | Because I've been studying people who are obsessed with one thing, and it's infectious. It's really cool. |
| 0:21.5 | So what does world- class mean, Jody? |
| 0:24.0 | So Wenda, how do you define world class? I've got someone is not only among the very best, |
| 0:28.2 | but they set the standard for others. And then the definition of world class that we could |
| 0:32.9 | follow in this episode has five main points. And that's measurable dominance that it can be quantified |
| 0:39.5 | against others. So like World Records or Championships or Market Share or Output or Skill Ratings, |
| 0:44.4 | something that shows that you operate at the very top. Two is consistency over time. |
| 0:49.6 | So it's not just that you peak once, it's that you sustain it. So world-class means you show up year after |

| 1:18.9 | so they're almost redefining what good looks like. So they're doing their thing and then |
| 1:24.1 | others are copying their techniques. they're copying their style because that |
| 1:27.8 | person has themselves raised the bar. And then the fifth one is their mindset and the process |
| 1:34.2 | that they follow. So the idea that they're not just talented and they haven't just been born |
| 1:39.4 | with something that they're just using. They've also got a system. They're obsessed with the details. |
| 1:43.7 | They put in |
| 1:44.8 | relentless training, recovery, feedback loops, and then discipline to keep improving, even when |
| 1:51.3 | they are already ahead. And then discipline, we'll probably talk about later because they might not |
| 1:57.3 | see it as discipline. They might just see it as what they do. But then to an onlooker, |
| 2:01.8 | they will look incredibly regimented and disciplined. Yeah. So your definition or your criteria |
