Ep. 28 Leadership Environments High Performers Won't Stay In: Tate Unruh Keynote from CBB Conference 2026

In this special episode, we share a keynote presentation from Tate Unruh, delivered at the Head Coach Training Center event for college basketball coaches. What does the world look like through the eyes of a high performer? Why do some leadership environments bring out the best in people while others quietly drive top talent away? In this keynote, Tate explores the internal drivers of high performers—their relationship with identity, fear, vision, growth, and purpose—and how leaders can create environments where exceptional people thrive. You'll also learn three practical indicators that your leadership environment may be pushing high performers away: * The goalposts keep moving. * You're giving people a script instead of a vision. * The vision isn't thrilling enough to inspire commitment. Whether you're leading a team, building a business, coaching athletes, or developing leaders, this conversation offers a framework for creating an environment that attracts, develops, and retains high performers. If you want people to perform at a high level, you must first build an environment worthy of their best.

There’s a lot of noise right now: fear that AI will replace us, blind trust that it should guide us, and confusion about where the line is. We cut through all of that. We talk about: * Why most people are using AI in a way that slowly erodes discernment * The difference between outsourcing thinking vs. sharpening it * How fear and over-reliance both lead to the same problem * What it means to keep truth as your foundation in an algorithm-driven world * A practical framework for using AI as a tool—not a master This isn’t about rejecting AI.

Ep. 26 When "Child of God" Falls Short As An Identity

Most people stop at “child of God” when defining who they are. The problem? That’s not a full identity—and it might be holding you back. In this episode, we break down the difference between a label and a lived identity, and why that gap matters for your performance, leadership, and decision-making. If you’ve ever felt like something is missing in how you show up—your confidence, your purpose, your impact—this might be why. In this episode, we challenge a common assumption and explore what’s missing. Your identity isn’t just a name—it’s a source.

Ep. 25 How to Build a Vision You Actually Care About

What if the reason you feel stuck…isn’t a lack of discipline—but a lack of clarity? In this episode, we break down what a real vision actually is—and why most people are chasing something that was never specific, meaningful, or measurable enough to bring to life. For years, I chased a vision of signing a $1M pro basketball contract. That vision shaped my decisions, my discipline, and my identity for two decades. But looking back, I can see how different things could have been if I had the tools we’re walking through today. Inside this episode, we give you 3 indicators your vision isn’t just good—it’s right: * It’s thrilling and meaningful (it actually moves you) * It’s specific (not just what you don’t want) * It’s measurable (so you can track and refine it) You’ll hear real stories from high-performing clients—from a business owner chasing money to a coach trying to build a better culture—and how asking better questions helped them uncover what they actually wanted at the root.
