Michael Gervais (0:09)

Okay, welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I am Michael Gervais. And in these conversations, we get to sit down with some of the best performers in the world, people that are hungry towards mastery, and really learn their unique path, the steps that they've taken to be where they are now, and what their life journeys look like, the way that they understand the world, their psychological framework, as well as the mental skills that they've cultivated over time to be able to refine their craft.

I want to take a minute here to announce a really exciting event that we have coming up. As you continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of 2024, I want to pose a question. What are you doing right now to be great with stress? How are you working with stress on your pursuit towards your most important ambitions and goals? And I just want to get right to the heart of the key elements, one in particular, for what it takes to excel in today's high heat, high stakes world, because stress is not the problem that we think it is. Stress is a synonym for change. And our ability to be agile with change, that is the real opportunity at hand. So if you're wanting to unlock extraordinary results and sustainable performance in your life, it's not about avoiding or reducing stress.

And it's really about an amazing journey for somebody who is now one of the top performers in soccer.

And in the MLS for sure. And a very unique path. And so this next conversation is with Baggio and he's currently playing on the LA Galaxy.

And he helped me first just reconnect to gratitude. And he reminded me of the potency of being grounded and authentic. And I hope that comes through in this conversation. It was really noticeable during our conversation.

And his path towards mastery begins on a farm in a beautiful part of the country where, but it turns into a war zone at age seven.

And so this is Bosnia we're talking about. And his family was forced to escape and they first escaped into a refugee camp where he takes us through the journey and the challenges of living through the risk and the danger of war. He walks us through what it's like to be absolutely hated as a child from people that didn't want him to be around in a new country.
