My Sunday Morning voice shifts to a different medium this week…

The fabric of a community — the difference between acclimation and belonging (1:15–2:15 and 29:38–35:52)

From moving to Catalunya to achieving a Black Belt in karate, how simple and slower win the day (3:30–5:05 and 27:09–28:15)

The unforgettable life lesson I learned on the bus ride to the 1992 Olympic Closing Ceremony in Barcelona (5:05–7:34)

For the love of the game — understanding the thread between our head and our heart (19:17–23:38)

Confusing safety and comfort (35:52–41:36)

The art of a good start (42:42–44:15)

I typically steer clear of contests. But when two established business leaders and mentors created a writing challenge for their podcast audience, I decided to give it a shot.

As the eventual winner of this challenge, I was invited to join them as a guest on a recent podcast episode where we dove deeply into the composition and follow-through of our most valued pursuits.

While our conversation is built around the development of our respective businesses, the methods and mindsets about which we speak can be universally applied to improving in nearly anything.

So today, fill your coffee cup and use the timestamps listed at the top of this post to jump to the highlights that catch your attention. Or, settle in for our entire 45-minute conversation where Jonathan Stark, Rochelle Moulton, and I reflect on our performance processes and the art of a good start.

Listen to our conversation on The Business Of Authority.

With gratitude,

-Joe
