He's shaped so many lives from having an authentic way of living that is value and purpose driven. And it's the way that he has conducted his life and the authenticity that he has in how that's paralleled the way he's coached. And this conversation has tremendous weight to it. And it had impact on me while I was in it. I just really hope it translates in this podcast. It was such an honor to be able to sit down with the legendary football coach, Tom Osborne. And he brings us right in and starts this conversation off with sharing his relationship with his father that was deeply shaped in December 7th in 1941, when he watched his dad jump out of his chair when he first heard the news about Pearl Harbor.

Tom at that age was four and that experience and his dad going away to defend our country shaped him for the rest of his life. He goes on to describe the path towards mastery is as simple as doing things the right way. And it's simple and that's profound, right? Like to do things the right way is a path that he's come to understand for mastery. And it takes courage that he goes onto water, that to do things differently than what you did before and to not get stuck into the holding onto a pattern, but to keep exploring and to do things differently than you were once taught. And he talks about an accelerant to enhancing the winning process. And this is important because over the, I think it was like 300 games that he's played over the 25 years of coaching, he has an 83% winning record.
