A lot of my friends are now retired, and what I'm learning, the more I talk to people, and the more I talk to myself, and the more I go inward, is the most valuable thing is every moment you have with your relative, your spouse, your friend. That is the most valuable thing. It's what we really want.

We all want it desperately, and we don't know that sometimes when we're younger, because we think we want more money, we think we want a bigger contract, we want a bigger car, we want to win whatever we win, and it's not really what we want.

All right, welcome back, or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais, and by trade and training, I'm a sport and performance psychologist, and the co-founder of Compete to Create. And my partner in that is head coach Pete Carroll from the Seattle Seahawks, where we've taken his insights and practices on how to switch on cultures, high-performing cultures, and then my insights and practices on how to train the minds of people that want to be their very best. And so we basically written up the curriculum to be able to share in an online format.

So we're really excited about what we're doing there. Okay, but the idea behind these conversations is to learn from people who are on the path of mastery, to better understand what they are searching for, to understand their psychological framework, which is how they understand themselves, how they understand events, how they think about the world and the worldview, if you will. And we also want to dig to understand the mental skills that they use to build and refine their craft.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by Bubbs Naturals. Like many of you, I'm mindful about what I put in my body. For me, it usually comes down to ingredients and simplicity. The shorter the list, the better. And if I have to look it up, I'm usually out. That's why I've been loving Bubbs Naturals. Bubbs creates products with high quality, all natural ingredients designed to help people get after their adventures in life. I've been a huge fan of their hydrate or dye electrolyte mix for years now. It only has six total ingredients, but it's packed with five times the electrolytes as conventional sports drinks, with none of the added sugars, artificial flavors, sweeteners or preservatives. It's great for post-workout recovery, outdoor adventures and staying hydrated during long periods of travel, which I've done a lot of lately, and Bubbs is a go-to for me. Plus, all Bubbs products are 100% NSF 4 Sport certified, which means they pass the most rigorous quality standards. They're currently in just about every MLB locker room, working closely with the Red Sox, Yankees, Rangers, Cardinals, Diamondbacks and more, of course.
