Mike Bianco shares a story about commitment that will change how you think about goals. Jack Weimer was about 5'10" and weighed almost 300 pounds. His doctor told him: "You're not going to live a long life. You've got to go on a diet, you've got to exercise -... you're gonna die of a heart attack or stroke." He wanted to change. But his commitment wasn't good enough. Then one day, he got devastating news. His daughter Megan was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease. She needed a kidney transplant. They tested everyone in the family and Jack was the only match. He was excited until the doctors said: "We can't operate on you. We may lose you on the table. And we're not putting that kidney in your daughter. We can't do that." He asked: "How much time do I have?" "Maybe 6 months." In 6 months, Jack Weimer lost 100 pounds. They had the surgery. His daughter got the transplant. So what's the story about? "His commitment wasn't high enough. He wanted to - just like people want to win, people want to go to Omaha, people want to play well. But his commitment wasn't great enough." Then Bianco dropped the line everyone needs to hear: "Once your commitment is greater than your feelings, that's when you get results. That's when it happens for you." Wanting isn't enough. You have to commit. • Commit to showing up. • Commit to being selfless. • Commit to being a good teammate. Your commitment has to be greater than your feelings. That's when change happens. (🎥Baseball Coach™️ )show more

"He wanted his life back. He didn't want to have to work on holidays. He didn't want to be away from more family gatherings. He didn't want to have to...take a shower with your phone up against the shower door so you can see a text that's coming in, or take your phone with you to the urinal and hold it in one hand while you take care of your business in the other. That's the life that we live." - Adam Schefter on Woj's retirement

Elon Musk on the woke ideology: More and more people are seeing the light. “I've seen more and more people who were convinced of the woke ideology see the light. Not everyone, but more and more are seeing the light and it tends to happen when something happens that really directly affects them. A friend of mine who was living in the San Francisco Bay Area and they tried to trans his daughter to the point where the school sent the police to his house to take his daughter away from him. That's going to radicalize you. That's going to shake you out of your belief structure. The school and the state of California conspired to turn his daughter against him and make her take life altering drugs that would have sterilized her irreversibly. He managed to talk the police out of taking his daughter away from him that day. And that night he got on a plane to Texas. And you know, a year after just being in a school in like greater Austin area, she went back to normal. Meaning it wasn't real.” From: The Joe Rogan Experience, October 31, 2025

“What did you think of Lando being booed at race because people and I've seen it online as well say he doesn't deserve the title because McLaren favored him over his teammate. Do you think that's total nonsense?” Jacques Villeneuve: “That's a little bit ridiculous. When there was some booing in some races, that was embarrassing. You should never boo a driver that's clean, doesn't do anything dirty, on track is respectful, and on top of it is super fast. What's wrong with people? That was embarrassing. And, had it been that Piastri was a second a lap faster than him and somehow Lando was winning because a lot of things were happening, his car breaking down every time, then you could start thinking, okay, that's really not cool. That's not fair. But that wasn't the case. And in the second half, Norris has been faster right at the beginning as well, last year as well. So there's this whole middle of the season where Piastri was driving a lot better than Norris and was getting the points. Norris had an engine blowing up, not Piastri. And so those fans, they don't look at that either. You have to look at the whole picture, at the whole season. And suddenly if your favorite is starting to go backwards, you just got to bite the bullet and accept it. Your favorite is just going backwards. That doesn't mean that the other one is treated better or the other one is undeserving just because the one you're a fan of is not winning right now. That’s really wrong. If you're a fan of the sport, then you have to be a fan of the sport and understand when your driver is maybe not cutting it at this point in time, even though he was before and he will in the future again. It's all a question of timing. But that's the price we have to pay now with social media and how big F1 has become. It's very passionate. The people are passionate and once, you know, fans come from fanatism, you stop thinking, when you get in that mindset and it happens to all of us. You want something so much that you get attached and you cannot - it's hard to start seeing reality. So you will try to mold the reality to your thought process and if your champion is not winning then it cannot be his fault. It has to be something from the outside. It has to be the team destroying his chance or not favoring and so on and so on and so on. But there's nothing concrete behind those comments. It's pure fandom and it'll always be like this. And ultimately it's not a bad thing. You know drivers at that - sportsman at that level have to grow a thick skin. If not, you don't deserve to be there. You just have to have a thick skin because they're all very happy to get the compliments. They love it when it's just positive, but it gets balanced out with negatives and you need to be able to take and accept the negatives as well. It goes both ways. You cannot have the good. You just have to be a thick skin and know that it's part and parcels of what's going on. And in one month, it will be forgotten and maybe everything will change and it be the other driver that suddenly will be criticized and so on. So, it's just that's just the way it is.”

KAT when asked what it's like being the best 3PT shooter ever for a big man: "It's an honor. I worked on my game. When I was younger, that wasn't something that was supposed to happen. You're laughed at. You're told, What are you doing? You're wasting your time. You're never going to make it to college doing that. A lot of people are going to tell you no, what they think you need to do to make it to the NBA, to do all these things. But at the end of the day, you got to walk on your own path, write your own story. And that's what I did. I continue to work on my game, continue to work on my shot. People come back to me and give me all the congrats and congratulations and all this love for something they didn't help with; they told me to do the opposite. So that's how life always goes. Everyone got an opinion until someone actually does the work. Us two, we did the work, and they're going to have to watch our story be written without them having a chapter in it"

Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP, on why showing up early and staying late beats being the smartest person in the room: "I'm not smarter than anybody else, but I can outwork you." Bloomberg shares his key to success: "Make sure you're the first one in there every day and the last one to leave. Don't ever take a lunch break or go to the bathroom. You keep working. You never know when that opportunity is going to come along." He explains how this approach shaped his early career at Salomon Brothers. The managing partner of the company, Bill Salomon, was the second person to arrive each morning. Mike Bloomberg was the only other one in the big trading room. "If he had needed to borrow a match… if he wanted to ask something about a newspaper or a stock, he came over and so we became buddies." The same thing happened at the end of the day. The number two guy, John Gutfreund, was the last one to leave except for Bloomberg. They'd share a cab or take the subway uptown together. "You can't control that you're the smartest guy. There'll always be somebody smarter. But if you're there, then you absorb things. You put things together in ways that if you didn't have all that experience…" He compares it to skiing: "Reading a book on skiing doesn't teach you how to ski. You got to go and you got to ski and get lots of miles under your skis. And incidentally, if you don't fall, you're not skiing hard enough and you're not learning anything." Bloomberg also touches on resilience when things don't go your way: "You got to be smart enough to say, 'Hey, I tried it. Don't let your ego get in the way. I can't keep doing this. I've got to earn a living, but a year from now, I'm going to come up with a better idea and then I'll go back and do it again.'" He closes with a mindset that defined his career: "There's never been a day that I haven't looked forward to going into work. Even the days I knew I was going to get beaten up. Even the day I knew I was going to get fired. I'd never been fired before. I wonder what it's like. Okay, let's go find out."

Alice Schroeder: "[Warren Buffett] uses his business concepts interchangeably with the way that he lives." "He once said to me, 'If you want to go on that round-the-world trip, it's going to be more valuable to you when you're 40 than when you're 70. But when you're 20, delayed gratification is a great idea. You should be working really hard because your time is going to be more valuable to you when you're 40 than when you're 20.' That's kind of a mathematical concept that I would never have thought of — but that's how he thinks." (Microsoft Research || 2008)

Tom Aspinall’s father reveals how not getting hit became the foundation of Tom’s style 🧠🫡 "The secret is not to get hit. When he was a kid, that was what it was all about. His kids, you touch them and they just [dodge]. So you teach them very early, don’t let them touch you. That was paramount in what he had to learn. It was about being quick — you’ve got to move your head fast, your legs fast. So it’s always been about trying to enjoy it and trying to be good at it. If he wasn’t good at it, I’m not stupid, and if he got hit in the head a lot, he would’ve fallen out, and I’d have said go and do it and you’ll end up not too happy when you get older. You can’t get punched in the head all the time. So we train a lot on evading being punched." (via Tom Aspinall )

Lebron on what it takes to play for as long as he has at a high level that the average fan may not understand: "It starts way before you get on the floor. They see us once the game is going the popcorn's been popped and the lights are brighter. It takes so much more like sacrifice and discipline and things over the course if you want to be really great at this and if you want to do it for a long period of time. It's so many hours that you got to commit to it. There's so many things that you maybe want to do that you can't if you want to be great but everybody's journey is different. I'm just speaking from my journey but I do think that the game gives back to the ones who put the time in and commit to the game. That's just the game God's rewarding and we don't cheat the process"

🇺🇸 ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI: LIFE WORKS OUT WHEN YOU EMBRACE THE LOSSES "I think what I'd tell your viewers and listeners is that you've got to go forward, you've got to take risks. You've got to be willing to fall on your face. Elon Musk, the richest person on earth, was on a knife-edge, about to go bankrupt in 2008 during the financial crisis. When you talk about the edge, the edge is recognizing you're going to get your ass kicked, and then how do you bring yourself back from it? No edge, having high expectations about life and thinking your life is going to go up in a straight line in a 45-degree angle, which happens to absolutely no one."

Brian Shaw explains why Phil Jackson had to coach Kobe differently during the first three Lakers Championships: "Phil had no problem cussing Shaq out or getting on Shaq, but he would never say anything to Kobe early on." "So I have German Shepherds and they are protection trained.. And my dog trainer always said to me the first six to eight months that you had his puppy don't ever tell it no because what we want to do is we want this dog to be so confident that he feels like he could do everything." "The discipline part can come later on, once his confidence is at a certain point." "So he gonna chew up your house dig up your yard or whatever. You just got to deal with it let your dog do what it feels like, he's the dude, he's the man." "When we had the team meeting and I remember asking Phil how come you don't never say nothing to Kobe, I mean you always say everything to Shaq, you don't say nothing to Kobe... and he said because for this team we always need Kobe to be in attack mode." "And then that immediately made me think about what my dog trainer said about my German Shepherd needs to be in attack mode, and it was exactly what our team needed." "Shaq came from a disciplinary his father was his stepfather was military. Yes sir, no sir, and whatever you asked him to do, told him to do. He was obedient." "Kobe was that German Shepherd puppy that nobody ever said no to... He had sisters, he was the only boy, father played in the NBA, and he was the The Golden Child..." "Phil nurtured that confidence in him, at the expense of the rest of us on the team, getting the brunt of him yelling and screaming and what have you. But not saying a whole lot to Kobe.." "But we needed that, he was always in attack mode." "You talk about Phil just knowing personalities and how to kind of Coach everybody differently... Phil Jackson was the only man for that job."

Is it possible to have an entire company of A players? Adam has 400 employees and a $150 billion market cap. His answer to this question was insightful: “We expect our engineers to be product people so we don't have much of a product org. We expect them to be A players. Now to have a team of A players you've got to be able to recognize A players. I know that Giovanni is an A-plus player. I know that he has no tolerance for anything that's not an A player. He's very quick to go "You've got to be at this level or you're out." Putting people like that in leadership roles allows me to have confidence because they're impatient and they're not going to enable talent that's not qualified in these key roles. You're always turning over people that don't meet your need. You want to be as lean as possible. Now when you have an A player you don't want to cut those people. Those people are super powerful—especially as we go forward. You're going to need lean teams that know how to use AI. Your best people know how to use AI better than your mediocre people and it's not by some sort of linear function. It's much greater than that. Our team is constructed to have leaders who are A players or A-plus players who can see the A players underneath and who have no patience for anything that's not a A player and are very willing to fire on sight if they feel like you're not cutting it. Because we are lean most of our people are very smart. But sometimes being smart is not enough. You've got to be really into building what we want to build. If you're not cut out for it you're going to get really good severance and you go off along your way.”

Is it possible to have an entire company of A players? Adam has 400 employees and a $150 billion market cap. His answer to this question was insightful: “We expect our engineers to be product people so we don't have much of a product org. We expect them to be A players. Now to have a team of A players you've got to be able to recognize A players. I know that Giovanni is an A-plus player. I know that he has no tolerance for anything that's not an A player. He's very quick to go "You've got to be at this level or you're out." Putting people like that in leadership roles allows me to have confidence because they're impatient and they're not going to enable talent that's not qualified in these key roles. You're always turning over people that don't meet your need. You want to be as lean as possible. Now when you have an A player you don't want to cut those people. Those people are super powerful—especially as we go forward. You're going to need lean teams that know how to use AI. Your best people know how to use AI better than your mediocre people and it's not by some sort of linear function. It's much greater than that. Our team is constructed to have leaders who are A players or A-plus players who can see the A players underneath and who have no patience for anything that's not a A player and are very willing to fire on sight if they feel like you're not cutting it. Because we are lean most of our people are very smart. But sometimes being smart is not enough. You've got to be really into building what we want to build.

Arteta on Gyokeres: “Well, I think the level of attention on him hasn't changed since he signed to today. It's normal. Everybody was so excited to bring a nine into the club. We did it, we brought a player with an incredible goalscoring record that had to adapt to the league. “He had no preseason, the first few weeks were difficult because physically he wasn't in his best state and he's a player that needs that, like any other player in this league, almost to perform at that level. “Then he kicked on, I think he had a really good period and got injured. And now it's better. I saw a lot of positive things in the last two games that he's done, we need to continue to tweak and understand him a little bit better in certain situations and he needs to do the same, but that's about time. We have full support for him. “At the end, you have to experience it (scrutiny). You can imagine the global impact that you're going to have to deal with when you come to a big club and the expectations are as it is, but after you have to live it and living it is always slightly different to your imagination. “However, he's doing it with a With a lot of desire. I think his energy level, his commitment, it's absolutely top. We are here to help him because we've all been here, we all need time, there is always moments, and the strikers have moments. “They score more goals, less goals, and we need to be there for him. “I think so, yes (we’re going to see another level from Gyokeres in the second half of the season.”

Chris Christie reveals the bad advice he gave President Trump that caused Trump to stop talking to him. "I said, 'You need to call Biden, congratulate him, invite him to the White House, shake his hand.' And I said, 'If you do that, you'll have a good reputation with the American people and whatever else you want to do with your life, it'll be wide open to you. 'If you don't do that,' and this is where I was wrong, 'all that's over.' And he said, 'Well, I'm not going to do that. What else you got?' And I said, 'I don't have anything else.' And he goes, 'Then I have nothing to talk to you about.' And we have not spoken since."

Geno Auriemma shares how he explains success to his players and why showing up isn't enough. "If you go to class and you do average work, you're gonna get a C. That's why it's called average." "If you want a B, you have to do more work. If you want an A, you have to do even more work and you have to give up stuff." You get what you earn in life. "You have to sacrifice. Maybe you can't do all the things that everybody else does." It means if you want more then you have to be willing to do more. "If you're just happy getting Bs all your life, there's nothing wrong with that either. But you're never gonna get the satisfaction of what it feels like to get an A." Then he connected it to basketball: "If you just wanna be average, then you do average work. If you wanna be a little bit above average then you do a little more work." "If you wanna get As in basketball, then you gotta do stuff that other people aren't willing to do - especially if you have the talent like we do. We have talent." It means bring a mindset of excellence to everything that you do. Excellence isn't the goal - it's the standard you set. Then he called out the entitlement problem: "Some of these younger guys coming out of high school, man, they wanna show up and go, 'I'm here. Where's my 3.7?'" "Like my father used to say, 'I got your 3.7 right here.'" Showing up doesn't earn you anything. Doing the work does. You get the grade you earn - in school, in basketball, and in life. It's easy to be average...successful people look to compete in everything they do. (🎥UCTV Sports )

Isiah Thomas says they didn't run any plays at Indiana because they were the most connected team, and the quality he appreciates most about Bob Knight is that Knight had the courage to coach him “The thing that I loved about Coach Knight… Now that I’m older… Is that he had the courage to coach me. He had the courage…To have confrontation with me.” “He had the courage… To make me do right… When I wanted to be wrong.” “He didn’t let me slide. He didn’t let me get by. It would have been easier for him to do that… Because I was pretty good at the time.” “He would tell me, you’ve got to go to class. If you don’t go to class… You can’t come to practice.” “In terms of freedom, we had no plays at Indiana. We didn't have an out of bounds play. We weren't coming down calling a play. It was like, you've got to get to know your teammate. And once you know your teammate, then you'll know if he's going left or right.” “That was the way Bob Knight made you think and play... He always said it's a thinking man's game. Mental is to physical as 4 is to 1.”
