    QUOTES

    “The key is using stress and adapting to it and improving. That’s what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr. Erik Korem

    “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you’re leading, you’re a leader. If you’re swimming you’re a swimmer, if you’re driving you’re a driver. If you’re leading you’re by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it’s your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce

    "Attention is the currency of performance." - Dr. Peter Haberl

    “That’s what I’ve discovered in the lives of brilliant, prolific, healthy creatives, is that they have networks of people they leverage in the course of their work. That they learn from, that they were challenged by, that they gave great insight and purview into their own life and work, in such a way that they were able to receive feedback that helped them get better at what they do.” - Todd Henry

    "Restful and fulfilling sleep enables you to grow, adapt, and thrive. It creates the conditions for adaptation, so you can pursue audacious goals and thrive in uncertainty." - Dr. Erik Korem

    "Most exercise programs fail, not because the reps and sets are poorly designed, but because the program doesn't adjust for how much stress your body can adapt to that day!. That's why Dr. Chris Morris' research and practical application of fluid periodization is the key for unlocking your performance potential." - Dr. Erik Korem

    #558. Why Discipline is the Ultimate Unfair Advantage & How to Use Separation Days to Create Unstoppable Momentum with Dre Baldwin
    Jan 10 2025

    What separates elite performers from everyone else? Former pro basketball player Dre Baldwin reveals how true champions create distance between themselves and the competition - and it happens long before game day.

    Drawing from his nine-year professional basketball career and experience impacting over 103 million people, Dre breaks down his revolutionary concept of "separation days" and explains why discipline, not talent, is the ultimate differentiator. He shares powerful insights on how to build momentum through consistent daily action.

    • Why most people misunderstand when competitive advantage is really created
    • The hidden psychology of maintaining discipline when no one's watching
    • How to develop unshakeable confidence through systematic preparation
    • The counterintuitive truth about handling setbacks and failures
