Conviction Beats Consensus: The Untold Origin Story of ESPN - Mike Soltys and Garrett Sutton, Authors of "Sports Heaven: The Birth of ESPN"

What does it take to build something iconic when almost no one believes in the idea? In this episode, we sit down with Mike Soltys and Garrett Sutton to unpack the remarkable birth story of ESPN - and the leadership lessons hidden inside it. Long before ESPN became a global sports brand, it was a risky startup built on one simple conviction: sports fans wanted more. You’ll hear how founder Bill Rasmussen turned that belief into reality despite limited resources, industry skepticism, and constant uncertainty. This conversation explores the power of conviction over consensus, the role of adaptability in seizing new opportunities, and why “intentional optimism” can be one of a leader’s greatest advantages.  More than a media history lesson, this episode is a case study in entrepreneurship, resilience, and culture-building. If you’re a founder, leader, or builder trying to create something that doesn’t yet make sense to everyone else, this conversation will give you both inspiration and practical insight.

The One Pause That Leaders Are Too Afraid To Take - Daniel Coyle, New York Times Best Selling Author

In his new book "Flourish: The Art of Building Meaning, Joy, and Fulfillment", Daniel Coyle explores a question many high performers eventually face - "What if achievement doesn't lead to fulfillment the way we think it will?"  Drawing on his work in performance, talent, and culture, Coyle argues that many people spend years chasing success only to discover that winning alone doesn't create lasting joy, connection, or meaning. Instead, he suggests we may have the map backwards. Community, relationships, and belonging are not rewards of performance, they're often the foundation of it. In this conversation with ReliaQuest mental performance coach Derin McMains, you'll also hear Coyle discuss: * Flourishing requires a healthy relationship with change. * Great leaders create environments, not dependency. * Team chemistry is revealed in adversity.

Mindset with Brian Murphy: Obstacles to Opportunity

ReliaQuest Founder and CEO Brian Murphy talks about how he reframes obstacles into opportunities so he can consistently perform under pressure. He discusses his process to make the next right decision when uncertainty is high, and how momentum is built through action rather than overthinking. He offers experience-tested insight on staying present, learning fast, and helping teams perform at a higher level. In this conversation with ReliaQuest Director of Mental Performance Derin McMains, you'll also hear Murph discuss: * Doing hard things is a skill, not a personality trait * Real problems are generally hid under the obvious ones * Decisiveness matters more than certainty ReliaQuest exists to Make Security Possible, allowing security teams to detect and contain threats within minutes — anytime, anywhere.

The One Question That Won Olympic Gold - Ben Hunt-Davis, British Gold Medalist and Performance Consultant

Ben Hunt-Davis explains how Britain’s men’s eight transformed from an underperforming crew into Olympic champions by relentlessly filtering every decision through one question: “Will it make the boat go faster?” Instead of blindly copying others, the crew challenged assumptions, redesigned training around their own needs, and used a simple standard to cut through ego and build gold-medal winning habits. In this conversation with ReliaQuest mental performance coach Derin McMains, you'll hear Ben discuss: * How hard work alone isn't enough * World-class teams are built on honest conversations and continuous learning * Performance rises when excuses end and ownership begins ReliaQuest exists to Make Security Possible, allowing security teams to detect and contain threats within minutes — anytime, anywhere.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
