This week’s conversation is with Pete Carroll, the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks and my business partner at Compete to Create.
In this conversation, we decided to do something different -- we flipped the model a bit and for good reason.
I'm incredibly excited to share that my first book, an Audible Original, is coming out on July 9th, titled: Compete to Create: An Approach to Living and Leading Authentically.
I couldn’t be more honored to co-write it with Pete Carroll.
So what’s different about this conversation?
Beyond being overwhelmingly excited to announce our Audible Original release, we invited Sage Steele, ESPN SportsCenter host and recent Finding Mastery guest, to interview both Pete and myself.
We discuss how we first got started working together, what we’ve come to learn about helping others explore their potential, and why we wanted to write a book together.
Our new Audible Original offers an in-depth look at how world-class athletes, artists, entrepreneurs and top business leaders organize their inner lives to explore the edges of their potential – and at the same time live life with purpose and meaning.
This book is about celebrating the insights and practices that are at the center of human flourishing.
We pull back the curtain and reveal the psychological framework and mental skills that are common to great performers and leaders and show you how you can apply those same principles and practices to all areas of your life.
If you’ve already taken our online course Finding Your Best, this will be a great companion to your growth-arc.
I’d be honored if you’d pre-order it at audible.com/competetocreate.
If you know there is more inside you to discover—more to contribute, more room to grow—I think we found the sweet spot between applied science, incredible stories and crystal clear ways you can train your mind and organize your inner life to, quite simply, live and lead authentically.
And – if you haven’t had a chance but still want to take our course, we’re offering $50 off when you go to competetocreate.net/findingmastery.

0:00.0 | What do I believe in? You know, what's important to me? There's so much value that comes from that when you really declare it. |
0:05.3 | And if you go through that process, if nothing else happens, that's what I hope people would take from it. |
0:10.6 | Because again, we always find ourselves beginning with |
0:12.8 | self-discovery and we did again in this work and I'll just leave it that that's |
0:17.3 | really the part that it's most important to me. One of the reasons this is so |
0:21.1 | important is because once you know who you are, |
0:24.4 | nobody can take it away from you. |
0:26.3 | It's incredibly powerful. |
0:28.6 | No external circumstances can ever strip you from it. Okay, welcome back. |

0:54.3 | And the whole idea behind these conversations |
0:55.9 | is to learn from people who have committed their life efforts |
0:59.1 | towards mastery. |
1:00.8 | And what we want to do is we want to understand what are they searching for? |
1:05.1 | How do they organize their life? |
1:06.5 | What are the mental skills they use to build and refine their abilities to adjust and |
1:10.7 | pivot to the unfolding, unpredictable, unknown. |
1:15.0 | And that's really what this is about, |
1:16.2 | is to learn and then to organize it in such a way |
1:20.0 | that you can apply those insights to your own life. |
