It’s not often that I get to interview two authors in a single episode. Today’s show, though, is one of those kinds of shows. And we’re incredibly fortunate to have them both.

I’m talking about Jim Afremow and Phil White. Together, they’ve co-authored a new book called The Leader’s Mind: How Great Leaders Prepare, Perform, and Prevail.

The book taps into the same tips and techniques honed by top-tier athletes, such as how to get in a “zone,” thrive on a team, and stay humble, to become a champion at work and the ultimate team player at home.

You’ll learn about valuable leadership lessons through powerful parables and stories from well-known leaders, the actionable steps leaders must take to change their thinking and become the leader they want to be, and the necessary mindset to push through the challenges you face and take control of the direction your career and home life are taking.

To quote the authors, “Stop struggling with the expectations you face at work and at home by fundamentally changing the way you process what’s happening in your life. The mental edge that sets elite athletes apart outlined in this book will help you become the champion leader you want to be.”
