#83 - Garret Kramer - Why Everything You Know About High Performance Is Wrong, How to Discover Your True Self + The Illusion of Success - Author & Performance Coach to Elites
My guest today is Garrett Kramer. He's a former hockey and golf player, multi-time author, and coach to high-level athletes, coaches, actors, and leaders in general. This was a fascinating conversation and offered a very unique perspective on a subject that I think will resonate, particularly as it relates to high performance in sport, business, and life more broadly.
We take a deep dive into Garrett's work, his principles and philosophies, and how we can apply them to our lives and careers. We get into the nitty-gritty of ego - how it can hinder performance - and explore what it truly means to find out who we are. We look at the essence of coming home to our true selves so that we can perform at a higher level.
I really think you'll enjoy this episode - I certainly did. I'm already looking forward to having Garrett back on the show again in the future because I enjoyed this one so much.
