What do I believe in? What's important to me?

There's so much value that comes from that when you really declare it. And if you go through that process, if nothing else happens, that's what I hope people would take from it. Because again, we always find ourselves beginning with self-discovery, and we did again in this work, and I'll just leave it at that. That's really the part that's most important to me.

One of the reasons this is so important is because once you know who you are, nobody can take it away from you. It's incredibly powerful. No external circumstances can ever strip you from it.

Thank Okay, welcome back. Or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I'm Michael Gervais. And by trade in training, I'm a sport and performance psychologist, as well as the co-founder of Compete to Create. And the whole idea behind these conversations is to learn from people who have committed their life efforts towards mastery. And what we wanna do is we wanna understand what are they searching for? How do they organize their life? What are the mental skills they use to build and refine their abilities to adjust and pivot to the unfolding, unpredictable, unknown? And that's really what this is about, is to learn and then to organize it in such a way that you can apply those insights to your own life.

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 Bubz is a go-to for me. Plus, all Bubz 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. I'd love for you to go and check them out.

And this week's conversation, it's a little different. It's with Sage Steele and Pete Carroll and myself. And Pete Carroll is the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks and he's my business partner at Compete to Create.

In this conversation, we decided to do something different. We flipped the model a bit. And it's for a really fun reason. I am incredibly excited to share that my first book, it's actually an Audible original, it's coming out on July 9th. And I couldn't be more honored to co-write it with Pete Carroll, head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. It's titled, Compete to Create, An Approach to Living and Leading Authentically.
