Each episode was short, sweet, and concise by design and featured some of my favorite lessons I’ve shared from stage in the past few years. I hope you enjoyed, I hope they helped you Raise Your Game, and I hope at the end of each episode you thought…

For those that are new, The Raise Your Game Show is the third podcast I’ve hosted… and I’m proud to have put out well over 500 episodes – including a new episode almost every single week – since 2013.  

And now it’s time for a break. I’ve decided to hit pause, temporarily put this show on ice, and step away for a bit… so this will be the last episode for the time being.

These Rewind episodes take a look back at some my favorite shows in case you missed them the first time around… or in case you’d like to give them a second listen.

I hope you enjoy, and more importantly, I hope this Rewind episode helps you Raise Your Game! 

In this episode I am joined by my friend David DeWolf, the President and CEO of 3Pillar Global and the best-selling author of The Product Mindset. David and I unpacked a story about the first and only time I ran a marathon… and how the lesson I learned about not allowing negative self-talk to undermined you directly applies to business leadership. You’ll hear this story as I performed it in studio.</itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I laced up my high tops and hit the hardwood with Dan Engelstad, the head men’s basketball coach at Mt. St. Mary’s University. This episode was very special, as I was Dan’s basketball performance coach 20 years ago when he was a stand-out player at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, MD. We’ve kept in touch ever since and I am so proud of the coach, husband, and father Dan is today.</p><p>This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.</p><p>Thank you so much for investing your time with us. I hope we helped you Raise Your Game and provided useful insight on how you can maximize your time and effort. If you found this episode helpful, would you be open-minded to supporting the show? Would you be kind enough to share it with a friend or colleague? Would you take 30 seconds and leave us a rating and review? Those two things help support the show’s mission and message more than you know. And don’t ever forget, a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.</p><p><i>Sustain Your Game</i> teaches you how to bring your A game to every area of your life. With advice from top CEOs, journalists, social scientists, and more, you'll learn the framework for how to beat stress, stagnation, and burnout. <i>Sustain Your Game</i> will help you be the best in your arena, wherever that may be.</p><p>Sustain Your Game if available now at <a href="https://login.socialbrandpro.com/away?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.SustainYourGameBook.com" target="_blank">http://www.SustainYourGameBook.com</a></p><p>Please make sure to join the conversations at @AlanSteinJr on all major social platforms, go to <a href="http://alansteinjr.com/">AlanSteinJr.com</a> to subscribe to my Game Changer monthly emails.</p><p>Additionally, you can order the audiobook of Raise Your Game: High Performance Secrets from the Best of the Best at <a href="http://www.Audible.com">http://www.Audible.com</a> or wherever audiobooks are sold.

      <title>Season 13, Ep. 14: Behind the Scenes with a former NFL Player (Eric Wood)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I strap on a helmet and shoulder pads and hit the gridiron with former NFL player, Eric Wood. </p><p>Eric is a former starting center for the Buffalo Bills, 2-time Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee, and a pro bowler. He was selected in the 1st round of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Bills out of the University of Louisville (which was the only school that offered him a scholarship). Eric was instrumental in helping the Bills end their playoff drought in 2017. He is proud to have played his entire 9-season NFL career for the Bills before an unexpected spinal injury ultimately ended his on-field career in 2018. With much left to offer the sport, Eric stayed involved in football and is currently a commentator for the Buffalo Bill’s Radio Network. He is also the author of the new book, Tackle What’s Next, and the host of the What’s Next Podcast. I’ve been a fan of his from afar for years and we were introduced several months ago by two mutual friends – David Nurse and Jordan Montgomery. Here is my conversation with the very thoughtful Eric Wood… </p><p>This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.</p><p>Thank you so much for investing your time with us. I hope we helped you Raise Your Game and provided useful insight on how you can maximize your time and effort. If you found this episode helpful, would you be open-minded to supporting the show? Would you be kind enough to share it with a friend or colleague? Would you take 30 seconds and leave us a rating and review?

Amira and Sabrina are the coaches for the Golden State Warriors’ Dance Team as well as the founders of The Cultivate Code – a coaching, training, and mentoring program for aspiring and current NFL and NBA Dancers.

      <title>Season 13, Ep. 12: Behind the Scenes with a New York Times Best Selling Author (Don Yaeger)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, I read between the lines with former Sports Illustrated Associate Editor and 11-time New York Times Best Selling author Don Yaeger. Don is an equally powerful leadership speaker and host of the Corporate Competitor Podcast. His sports knowledge is unparalleled, and his book writing process is fascinating. Don has an innate ability to get people to have the courage to open up and be truly vulnerable. To say he is a master at his craft would be an understatement. I first met Don at the National Speakers Associations annual conference in 2018 and have been a huge fan ever since. </p><p>This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.</p><p>Thank you so much for investing your time with us. I hope we helped you Raise Your Game and provided useful insight on how you can maximize your time and effort. If you found this episode helpful, would you be open-minded to supporting the show? Would you be kind enough to share it with a friend or colleague? Would you take 30 seconds and leave us a rating and review?

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, I read between the lines with former Sports Illustrated Associate Editor and 11-time New York Times Best Selling author Don Yaeger. Don is an equally powerful leadership speaker and host of the Corporate Competitor Podcast. His sports knowledge is unparalleled, and his book writing process is fascinating. Don has an innate ability to get people to have the courage to open up and be truly vulnerable. To say he is a master at his craft would be an understatement. I first met Don at the National Speakers Associations annual conference in 2018 and have been a huge fan ever since. </p><p>This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.</p><p>Thank you so much for investing your time with us. I hope we helped you Raise Your Game and provided useful insight on how you can maximize your time and effort. If you found this episode helpful, would you be open-minded to supporting the show? Would you be kind enough to share it with a friend or colleague? Would you take 30 seconds and leave us a rating and review?

      <title>Rewind: Season 2, Episode 3 - A Lesson from Coach K</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>If you’re new to our show, each of the previous 12 seasons have had a different theme, a different format, and a different approach to unpacking and dissecting both individual and organizational performance.</p><p>These Rewind episodes take a look back at some my favorite shows in case you missed them the first time around… or in case you’d like to give them a second listen.</p><p>I hope you enjoy, and more importantly, I hope this Rewind episode helps you Raise Your Game!</p><p>In this episode I am joined by David DeWolf, the President and CEO of 3Pillar Global and the best-selling author of The Product Mindset: Succeed in the Digital Economy by Changing the Way Your Organization Thinks. David is one of the most prolific business leaders I’ve ever met. David and I dissect and discuss my signature story of the first time I had a conversation with Coach K and why the little things make a big difference and how this directly applies to leadership. You’ll hear this story from when it was performed on stage during one of my 2019 keynotes.</p><p>What makes the best <i>the </i>best? Ultimately the best are where they are because of the mindset, habits, and rituals they have—both in their respective “arenas,” but also in private, during the unseen hours. Success isn’t something that happens to you. It's something you attract and you create. Successful people do the little things better than everyone else because they know all the big things arise from them. The highest performers in all walks of life have taken full ownership. They got to where they are and have stayed there because they have chosen to establish, tweak and repeat positive habits. They understand that you can’t be selective when it comes to excellence, that how we do <i>anything</i> is how we do <i>everything.</i></p><p><i>Sustain Your Game</i> teaches you how to bring your A game to every area of your life.

Kyla is a phenomenal speaker, sales trainer, facilitator, and coach. Kyla and I unpack and explore my signature story of the Duke vs Butler rematch of 2010 and why it is so important to know what gives you a competitive edge and how this directly applies to effective sales and marketing. You’ll hear this story from when it was performed on stage during one of my 2019 keynotes.</p><p>What makes the best <i>the </i>best? Ultimately the best are where they are because of the mindset, habits, and rituals they have—both in their respective “arenas,” but also in private, during the unseen hours. Success isn’t something that happens to you. It's something you attract and you create. Successful people do the little things better than everyone else because they know all the big things arise from them. The highest performers in all walks of life have taken full ownership. They got to where they are and have stayed there because they have chosen to establish, tweak and repeat positive habits.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode I laugh it up with speaker, author, and CEO, Ron Tite. Ron was named one of the “Top 10 Creative Canadians” by Marketing Magazine and has always blurred the lines between art and commerce. He has been an award-winning advertising writer and creative director for some of the world’s most respected brands including Air France, Evian, Fidelity, Hershey, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft, Intel, Microsoft, Volvo and many others. He is founder of Church+State as well as the host and executive producer of the hit podcast, “The Coup”. He is a former standup comedian and the host of the award-winning comedy show, Monkey Toast. I proudly put Ron on my personal Mt. Rushmore of keynote speakers. His message is in high demand around the world and he speaks about leadership, disruption, branding, and creativity.

Ron was named one of the “Top 10 Creative Canadians” by Marketing Magazine and has always blurred the lines between art and commerce. He has been an award-winning advertising writer and creative director for some of the world’s most respected brands including Air France, Evian, Fidelity, Hershey, Johnson &amp; Johnson, Kraft, Intel, Microsoft, Volvo and many others. He is founder of Church+State as well as the host and executive producer of the hit podcast, “The Coup”. He is a former standup comedian and the host of the award-winning comedy show, Monkey Toast. I proudly put Ron on my personal Mt. Rushmore of keynote speakers. His message is in high demand around the world and he speaks about leadership, disruption, branding, and creativity.

David and I dissect and discuss my signature story of the first time I saw Kobe Bryant work out and why the best of the best never getting bored with the basics and how this directly applies to leadership.

      <title>Season 13, Ep. 7: Behind the Scenes with an NBA Coach (David Adkins)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today's episode, I go behind the packed arenas, behind the NBA TV broadcast, and behind the dancing cheerleaders with my longtime friend, mentor, and someone who has had a profound impact on my life, Coach David Adkins. DA, as he is affectionately known, is the new Director of Player Development for the Portland Trailblazers. After holding similar positions with the Washington Wizards and Los Angeles Clippers, he has 30 years of elite coaching experience at every level. Having been an integral member of the coaching staffs at Montrose Christian, Damatha Catholic High School, and the University of Maryland's women's basketball team, Coach Adkins is the best in the business at his craft, and it's not by accident, it's not by luck, it's because he puts in serious work during the unseen hours. I first met Coach Adkins in the summer of 2002, where he was pivotal in opening the door for me as the Strength and Conditioning Coach at Montrose Christian, something I will be forever grateful for.</p><p>This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.</p><p>Warning: this episode contains the occasional use of adult language – words like BLEEP and BLEEP and quite possibly some nudity… so please be advised. </p><p>Thank you so much for investing your time with us. I hope we helped you Raise Your Game and provided useful insight on how you can maximize your time and effort. If you found this episode helpful, would you be open-minded to supporting the show? Would you be kind enough to share it with a friend or colleague? Would you take 30 seconds and leave us a rating and review? Those two things help support the show’s mission and message more than you know. And don’t ever forget, a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.</p><p><i>Sustain Your Game</i> teaches you how to bring your A game to every area of your life. With advice from top CEOs, journalists, social scientists, and more, you'll learn the framework for how to beat stress, stagnation, and burnout. <i>Sustain Your Game</i> will help you be the best in your arena, wherever that may be.</p><p>Sustain Your Game if available now at <a href="https://login.socialbrandpro.com/away?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.SustainYourGameBook.com" target="_blank">http://www.SustainYourGameBook.com</a></p><p>Please make sure to join the conversations at @AlanSteinJr on all major social platforms, go to <a href="http://alansteinjr.com/">AlanSteinJr.com</a> to subscribe to my Game Changer monthly emails.</p><p>Additionally, you can order the audiobook of Raise Your Game: High Performance Secrets from the Best of the Best at <a href="http://www.Audible.com">http://www.Audible.com</a> or wherever audiobooks are sold.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today's episode, I go behind the packed arenas, behind the NBA TV broadcast, and behind the dancing cheerleaders with my longtime friend, mentor, and someone who has had a profound impact on my life, Coach David Adkins. DA, as he is affectionately known, is the new Director of Player Development for the Portland Trailblazers. After holding similar positions with the Washington Wizards and Los Angeles Clippers, he has 30 years of elite coaching experience at every level. Having been an integral member of the coaching staffs at Montrose Christian, Damatha Catholic High School, and the University of Maryland's women's basketball team, Coach Adkins is the best in the business at his craft, and it's not by accident, it's not by luck, it's because he puts in serious work during the unseen hours. I first met Coach Adkins in the summer of 2002, where he was pivotal in opening the door for me as the Strength and Conditioning Coach at Montrose Christian, something I will be forever grateful for.</p><p>This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.</p><p>Warning: this episode contains the occasional use of adult language – words like BLEEP and BLEEP and quite possibly some nudity… so please be advised. </p><p>Thank you so much for investing your time with us. I hope we helped you Raise Your Game and provided useful insight on how you can maximize your time and effort. If you found this episode helpful, would you be open-minded to supporting the show? Would you be kind enough to share it with a friend or colleague? Would you take 30 seconds and leave us a rating and review? Those two things help support the show’s mission and message more than you know.

      <title>Season 13, Ep. 6: Behind the Scenes with a Professional Actor (Gabby Bourne)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today's episode, I go behind the camera with my new friend Gabby Bourne. Gabby is an acclaimed actor and producer, having been a guest star on NCIS, a recurring star on Animal Kingdom, which by the way, is one of my all-time favorite shows, and she will be in the upcoming movie about Nike and it's efforts to sign Michael Jordan to an endorsement deal in the early eighties, which also stars Hollywood elite, such as Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Viola Davis, Chris Tucker, and Marlon Wayans. In addition to her acting degree from the University of Southern California, Gabby has previously trained professionally in London and New York City, and is currently enrolled in a masterclass with Keith Bogart at Parallax Studio. As you will see, despite her success, she continues to relentlessly work on her craft during the unseen hours. I met Gabby and her incredible husband, Tri Bourne, who just so happens to be one of the top men's beach volleyball players in the world at the Myrtle Beach Open last year.</p><p>This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.</p><p>Warning: this episode contains the occasional use of adult language – words like BLEEP and BLEEP and quite possibly some nudity… so please be advised. </p><p>Thank you so much for investing your time with us.

Gabby is an acclaimed actor and producer, having been a guest star on NCIS, a recurring star on Animal Kingdom, which by the way, is one of my all-time favorite shows, and she will be in the upcoming movie about Nike and it&apos;s efforts to sign Michael Jordan to an endorsement deal in the early eighties, which also stars Hollywood elite, such as Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Viola Davis, Chris Tucker, and Marlon Wayans. In addition to her acting degree from the University of Southern California, Gabby has previously trained professionally in London and New York City, and is currently enrolled in a masterclass with Keith Bogart at Parallax Studio. As you will see, despite her success, she continues to relentlessly work on her craft during the unseen hours. I met Gabby and her incredible husband, Tri Bourne, who just so happens to be one of the top men&apos;s beach volleyball players in the world at the Myrtle Beach Open last year. </itunes:subtitle>

      <title>Season 13, Ep. 5: Behind the Scenes with a Professional Magician (Adam Wilber)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today's episode, I go behind the illusions, behind the slight of hand tricks and behind the mind blowing magic with my friend Adam Wilber. Adam is a master magician and corporate speaker and has been captivating audiences both large and small for over two decades. His unique blend of comedy and magic have won him fans from around the world as well as appearances on TV shows like Fool Us with Penn and Teller, whom he fooled by the way, and the Discovery Channel who fittingly called Adam the Real Deal in Magical Entertainment. Adam has been studying and perfecting his craft since the age of six and has logged some serious unseen hours. I met Adam back in 2017 when a mutual friend in the speaking game introduced us and I've enjoyed following his well deserved success.</p><p>This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.</p><p>Warning: this episode contains the occasional use of adult language – words like BLEEP and BLEEP and quite possibly some nudity… so please be advised. </p><p>Thank you so much for investing your time with us. I hope we helped you Raise Your Game and provided useful insight on how you can maximize your time and effort. If you found this episode helpful, would you be open-minded to supporting the show? Would you be kind enough to share it with a friend or colleague? Would you take 30 seconds and leave us a rating and review? Those two things help support the show’s mission and message more than you know. And don’t ever forget, a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.</p><p><i>Sustain Your Game</i> teaches you how to bring your A game to every area of your life.

Did you know that Jay was a pretty decent baller himself? He once scored 69 points in a high school game and ended up being a 4-year letter winner at Bucknell.  </p><p>Here are several isolated responses from a really quick in-person conversation I had with Coach Jay Wright, in Las Vegas at UNLV – back when I hosted the Pure Sweat Basketball Show.  We discussed the 3 traits he values most in assistant coaches, the key to maintaining a championship caliber culture and why relationships have always been and will always be the most important part of coaching. </p><p>What makes the best <i>the </i>best?

      <title>Season 13, Ep. 4: Behind the Scenes with a New Author (Nicole Kalil)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In today's episode, I go behind the stage and behind the page with my new friend Nicole Kalil. Nicole is an in demand speaker, author of the incredible new book, Validation is For Parking, a respected coach and the host of the This is Women's Work Podcast. Nicole's passion for eliminating gender expectations and redefining women's work is both what keeps her up at night and what gets her up in the morning. She is a former Fortune 100 C-suite executive and has coached thousands of women in business, which has given her a unique insight into what structurally, systematically, and socially is and isn't serving women and leaders within an organization.

I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.</p><p>Warning: this episode contains the occasional use of adult language – words like BLEEP and BLEEP and quite possibly some nudity… so please be advised. </p><p>Thank you so much for investing your time with us. I hope we helped you Raise Your Game and provided useful insight on how you can maximize your time and effort. If you found this episode helpful, would you be open-minded to supporting the show? Would you be kind enough to share it with a friend or colleague? Would you take 30 seconds and leave us a rating and review?

We discussed why the intangibles you develop on the court have high utility in every area of your life, how he is always the most prepared person in any room and the benefits of getting paid to learn.</itunes:summary>
      <itunes:subtitle>If you’re new to our show, each of the previous 12 seasons have had a different theme, a different format, and a different approach to unpacking and dissecting both individual and organizational performance.

These Rewind episodes take a look back at some my favorite shows in case you missed them the first time around… or in case you’d like to give them a second listen.

I hope you enjoy, and more importantly, I hope this Rewind episode helps you Raise Your Game! 

You may know him as the most aggressive Shark on ABC’s Shark Tank or as the outspoken owner of the Dallas Mavericks, but did you know that Mark Cuban made his way into the Guinness Book of Records in 1999 by making what was then the largest single e-commerce transaction - a Gulfstream V private jet for $40 million. Did you know the NBA has fined Mark more than $2 million over his tenure, for a variety of different infractions. His largest fine - $500,000 - was the result of a remark he made about an NBA referee, &quot;Ed Rush might have been a great ref, but I wouldn&apos;t hire him to manage a Dairy Queen.” After making that public comment, Cuban accepted the invitation of a local DQ to work behind the counter for a day.

      <title>Season 13, Ep. 3: Behind the Scenes with a Professional Actor (Devan Long)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[I go behind the camera with my new friend, Devan Long. Devan is a multifaceted character actor in both TV and movies, and is currently a series regular on CBS's hit comedy Ghosts. He is a former football star at the University of Oregon, played briefly in the NFL, but didn't catch the acting bug until his playing career was over. Devan has such a unique acting skill set that he's been able to portray such an eclectic array of characters from vicious assassins to lovable superheroes. The first time I saw him on screen was during an episode of Bosch, which is one of my all time favorite detective shows. I met Devan through his wonderful wife, Jesse Golden, whom I met at a wellness retreat in 2017. Here's my conversation with the incredibly handsome and statuesque Devan Long.

This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.

Warning: this episode contains the occasional use of adult language – words like BLEEP and BLEEP and quite possibly some nudity… so please be advised. 

Thank you so much for investing your time with us. I hope we helped you Raise Your Game and provided useful insight on how you can maximize your time and effort. If you found this episode helpful, would you be open-minded to supporting the show? Would you be kind enough to share it with a friend or colleague? Would you take 30 seconds and leave us a rating and review? Those two things help support the show’s mission and message more than you know. And don’t ever forget, a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

Sustain Your Game teaches you how to bring your A game to every area of your life. With advice from top CEOs, journalists, social scientists, and more, you'll learn the framework for how to beat stress, stagnation, and burnout. Sustain Your Game will help you be the best in your arena, wherever that may be.

They have invested in 30+ companies like the delivery service Postmates and the micro-investing app Acorns, as well as created their own development and media firm, Thirty Five Media.</p><p>Here are several isolated responses from an in-person conversation we had with KD when he was still with the Oklahoma City Thunder, at his Nike Summer Skills Academy in Washington, DC – back when I co-hosted the Hardwood Hustle. KD shared why his love for the game always comes first, the difference between playing on edge and playing with an edge and why being born with talent means nothing if you aren’t willing to put in the work to develop it.</p><p>What makes the best <i>the </i>best? Ultimately the best are where they are because of the mindset, habits, and rituals they have—both in their respective “arenas,” but also in private, during the unseen hours. Success isn’t something that happens to you. It's something you attract and you create. Successful people do the little things better than everyone else because they know all the big things arise from them.

      <title>Season 13, Ep. 0: We Take a Look Behind the Scenes of High Performers</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello and welcome to Season 13 of The Raise Your Game Show. I’m your host, Alan Stein, Jr. This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game. </p><p>On that note, do you know of any organization that would benefit from hearing a customized version of this message? Can you think of someone that may be open-minded to investing in their team or in their annual event by bringing me in as speaker? If so, please encourage them to visit AlanSteinJr.com and fill out a speaking inquiry. I’d be honored to collaborate with them and co-create an impactful, meaningful, and memorable experience.</p><p>What makes the best <i>the </i>best?

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to this special BONUS episode of The Raise Your Game Show.

Season 13 will explore how high performers utilize the Unseen Hours</p><p>I’ve been interviewing magicians, rappers, dancers, stand-up comedians, YouTubers, pro athletes, actors, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prep themselves to perform at a world class level. I’ve got a feeling Season 13 will be our best season yet!</p><p>But before we kick off the new season, I wanted to insert this BONUS episode and share a keynote I delivered this past April in Rapid City, South Dakota in front of a sold-out crowd of 1,600 attendees at the prestigious Day of Excellence event. This experience was one of the highlights of my professional career… and for any of you that are not deeply familiar with my work and my message… or for those that are but have never heard one of my entire keynotes… I hope you enjoy this episode and find it helpful.</p><p>On that note, do you know of any organization that would benefit from hearing a customized version of this message?

I’d be honored to collaborate with them and co-create an impactful, meaningful, and memorable experience.</p><p>What makes the best <i>the </i>best? Ultimately the best are where they are because of the mindset, habits, and rituals they have—both in their respective “arenas,” but also in private, during the unseen hours. Success isn’t something that happens to you. It's something you attract and you create. Successful people do the little things better than everyone else because they know all the big things arise from them.

      <itunes:summary>In this season I sit down with a fascinating group of ex-athletes – from a variety of team sports – to learn the most valuable skills and impactful lessons they developed on the court, field, ice, and sand… and more importantly… how they apply what they learned to every other area of their lives. 

Joining me today is Todd Durkin, an internationally renowned performance coach &amp; personal trainer, an electric speaker, author of 3 outstanding books, and a high energy podcast host. He is the founder of Fitness Quest 10 in San Diego, a world class training facility… was a contestant on NBC’s Strong (an innovative fitness reality competition), and is best friends NFL Hall-of-Famer Drew Brees (one of his longest standing clients).

Joining me today is Tri Bourne, an AVP and FIVB professional beach volleyball player who represented the USA in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games. In addition to being one of the top players on the planet, he is also the host of beach volleyball’s most listened to podcast, Sandcast.

After he graduated, he has successfully transitioned into a post playing career as the Head of Sports Partnerships at Heroic.

      <itunes:summary>Today I’m joined by great friend and colleague, Rich Czeslawski, for a brief conversation on the importance of youth sports and so we can announce the release of the new book we co-wrote together:

It’s called The Sideline: A Survival Guide for Youth Sports Parents

The Sideline has one goal - to help parents &amp; coaches successfully navigate the world of youth sports. If you have child that plays youth or HS sports… or you coach youth or HS sports… you need this book.

If you listen to this show, or you’ve followed my work, you most likely already know the immense value of youth sports. You know they can serve as an unparalleled life-changing experience for children. You know they can teach valuable concepts such as respect, accountability, work ethic, coachability, and teamwork. You know they can teach kids and young adults how to best handle adversity, heighten confidence, and improve mental, physical, and emotional wellness. You know it can help them make friends and create lifelong memories.

While these benefits are proven, clear, and indisputable, what you might not know, or what might not be as obvious is the most effective way to guide, support, and encourage your children so that they grow, improve, and develop on and off the field or court.

What exactly do our children need from us to maximize their youth sports experience?

The Sideline is here to answer that and much more. This resource is concise, practical, and actionable and has everything a youth sports parent (or coach) needs!</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Joining me today is long-time friend, Anna Goldstein. We connected after one of my speaking engagements years ago… and I’ve been a fan of her work and her message ever since.

Anna is a super successful business &amp; life coach, podcast host, and the author of an amazing new book called Be Bold: A Guide to Unbreakable Confidence. She was kind enough to send me an advanced copy… and I read it twice, cover to cover. It’s a quick, easy, and highly practical guide that will help you stop listening to the voice in your head that says you’re not good enough. Since reading it, I’ve gifted it to several friends… all of whom love it! 

To order her book, or to get more info on her coaching services, check out AnnaGoldstein.com. 

In this series, Anna and I will be discussing her 3 primary core values: Impact, Spirituality, and Fun

In today’s episode, we will be focusing on Being Bold.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Joining me today is long-time friend, Anna Goldstein. We connected after one of my speaking engagements years ago… and I’ve been a fan of her work and her message ever since.

Anna is a super successful business &amp; life coach, podcast host, and the author of an amazing new book called Be Bold: A Guide to Unbreakable Confidence. She was kind enough to send me an advanced copy… and I read it twice, cover to cover. It’s a quick, easy, and highly practical guide that will help you stop listening to the voice in your head that says you’re not good enough. Since reading it, I’ve gifted it to several friends… all of whom love it! 

To order her book, or to get more info on her coaching services, check out AnnaGoldstein.com. 

In this series, Anna and I will be discussing her 3 primary core values: Impact, Spirituality, and Fun

In today’s episode, we will be focusing on Impact.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In today’s episode, I swim laps with a longtime friend… strength &amp; conditioning coach… author… and ultra-endurance athlete, Nick Irons. Nick first made national headlines when he became the first person in 70 years to swim the length of the Mississippi River (a feat that covered 1,550 miles and took 4 months to complete). But not one rest on previous accomplishments, he followed up his historic swim with a 10,000-mile bike ride around the perimeter of the United States (which took 5 months). Nick is the author of Swim Lessons: 10 Secrets for Making Any Dream Come True and was the subject of the award-winning documentary, Swim Lessons: The Nick Irons Story.

Graham is one of the world’s leading mental performance coaches and has worked closely with NBA stars like Aaron Gordon, Ben Simmons, Karl Anthony Towns, and Andrew Wiggins as well as professional organizations such as True Ventures, Silicon Valley Bank, and the Utah Jazz. He is the author of Play Present: A Mental Skills Training Program for Basketball Players and created the app Lucid (which you can easily find in the app store). Both are must have resources for any serious player or coach. For more on Graham, check out GrahamBetchart.com. I sure hope you enjoy my conversation with Graham Betchart…</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to Season 6 of the Raise Your Game Show – a podcast that zeros in on the proven principles and time tested strategies of high performance in sports and business. 
 
In this season I chop it up with an array of high performers from a variety of different fields and with a variety of different areas of expertise to find out the habits, mindset, and disciplines they’ve developed to not only raise their game… but to sustain it as well.
 
More specifically, I will find out what they have done, and what they continue to do, to manage stress, avoid stagnation, and beat burnout. 
 
After all, it’s one thing to reach the top, it’s another to stay there.
 
I hope you enjoy - and more importantly - I hope you benefit from the wisdom they bestow… and that it helps you raise… and sustain… your game!

In this episode, I am joined by world renowned basketball trainer, or shall I say basketball influencer extraordinaire, Chris Brickley. Chris is a former D-1 basketball player who played for Rick Pitino at Louisville, was the player development coordinator for the New York Knicks, and is currently the owner of Black Ops Basketball, a full service training program for the biggest names in the NBA and hip hop. And I&apos;m not joking when I say that Chris has been instrumental in helping raise the game of guys like James harden, Donovan Mitchell, Carmelo Anthony, and CJ McCullum, as well as rap icons, like J Cole, Meek Mill, and Travis Scott off the court. Chris has an endorsement deal with Puma, his own show on ESPN Plus, and is one of Instagram&apos;s most sought after basketball influencers, having garnered endorsement deals with Smartwater and NBA2K. And if all of that&apos;s not impressive enough, he launched his own streetwear brand called colorblind, which has been championed by super celebrities like Justin Bieber and Chloe Kardashian. And the best part about Chris, he&apos;s built his entire empire brick by brick and rep by rep in the gym. Here&apos;s some of my favorite thoughts from our chat.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to Season 6 of the Raise Your Game Show – a podcast that zeros in on the proven principles and time tested strategies of high performance in sports and business. 
 
In this season I chop it up with an array of high performers from a variety of different fields and with a variety of different areas of expertise to find out the habits, mindset, and disciplines they’ve developed to not only raise their game… but to sustain it as well.
 
More specifically, I will find out what they have done, and what they continue to do, to manage stress, avoid stagnation, and beat burnout. 
 
After all, it’s one thing to reach the top, it’s another to stay there.
 
I hope you enjoy - and more importantly - I hope you benefit from the wisdom they bestow… and that it helps you raise… and sustain… your game!

In this episode, I reconnect with speaker, consultant, and a man whose life work is the crazy glue for families, Jim Shiels. Jim is a dedicated husband, father, and author of the powerful best-sller, The Family Board Meeting. When groups like YPO, EO, and Harvard university, want to help their people succeed at home, they call on Jim. Jim has helped thousands of leaders in sports and business around the world shift their focus to what really counts, their home life. Here are my most impactful lessons and strategies from our chat.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to a special Rewind episode of the Raise Your Game Show… where we dive back into some of the most impactful episodes from previous seasons. 

If you are a new listener, I highly recommend you make time to start from the beginning until you get caught up. 

If you are a long time loyal listener, I hope you enjoy hearing these highlighted episodes again. 

Either way, I appreciate you listening and hope hitting Rewind helps you Raise Your Game!

In Season 2, Episode 4 I am joined by Kyla O’Connell, a top executive and Senior Partner at Asher (a world renowned sales and marketing company). Kyla is a phenomenal speaker, sales trainer, facilitator, and coach. Kyla and I unpack and explore my signature story of Steve Nash and his tsunami of touches and why great leaders fill other people’s buckets with their contagious enthusiasm and how this directly applies to effective sales and marketing. You’ll hear this story from when it was performed on stage during one of my 2019 keynotes. </itunes:summary>

In this episode, I curate wisdom from good friend and colleague, Stu Singer. Stu is the sports psychology and performance consultant for the NBA’s Washington Wizards, the WNBA’s Washington Mystics, and University of Maryland Women’s Basketball team. His approach focuses on teaching and providing mental performance skills for athletes that have the pressures of competing at elite levels in high school, collegiate, and professional sports. Stu also provides team trainings, clinics, and consultation with coaches on how to develop healthy and effective mental performance fundamentals for their athletes. He created an app that I highly recommend all athletes and coaches download. Just search DoSo in the app store or visit WellPerformanceCoach.com. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:author>Alan Stein, Jr.</itunes:author>
      <itunes:duration>00:28:44</itunes:duration>
      <itunes:summary>Welcome to Season 6 of the Raise Your Game Show – a podcast that zeros in on the proven principles and time tested strategies of high performance in sports and business. 
 
In this season I chop it up with an array of high performers from a variety of different fields and with a variety of different areas of expertise to find out the habits, mindset, and disciplines they’ve developed to not only raise their game… but to sustain it as well.
 
More specifically, I will find out what they have done, and what they continue to do, to manage stress, avoid stagnation, and beat burnout. 
 
After all, it’s one thing to reach the top, it’s another to stay there.
 
I hope you enjoy - and more importantly - I hope you benefit from the wisdom they bestow… and that it helps you raise… and sustain… your game!

In this episode, I get inspired by my new friend, colleague, and fellow keynote speaker, Inky Johnson. After years of following his message on social media Inky and I finally shared the stage together at an event in Michigan. Inky is a former university of Tennessee football player whose career ended abruptly and unexpectedly with an unusual injury that permanently paralyzed his right arm. Given his dream had always been to play in the NFL, you might think this massive setback would have crushed his spirit, but that would only be if you don&apos;t know Inky. Once you meet this man, or better yet, hear him speak, you will see what I&apos;m talking about. Inky is a proud survivor of an underprivileged past of refugee, poverty and violence, but that doesn&apos;t define him. He is a man that epitomizes optimism, positivity, gratitude, enthusiasm, and relentless determination. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to Season 6 of the Raise Your Game Show – a podcast that zeros in on the proven principles and time tested strategies of high performance in sports and business. 
 
In this season I chop it up with an array of high performers from a variety of different fields and with a variety of different areas of expertise to find out the habits, mindset, and disciplines they’ve developed to not only raise their game… but to sustain it as well.
 
More specifically, I will find out what they have done, and what they continue to do, to manage stress, avoid stagnation, and beat burnout. 
 
After all, it’s one thing to reach the top, it’s another to stay there.
 
I hope you enjoy - and more importantly - I hope you benefit from the wisdom they bestow… and that it helps you raise… and sustain… your game!

In this episode, I hit the trails with my friend Mark Neilan. Mark is the owner of Excel Fitness in New Jersey and has an exceptional background in physical therapy and personal training. And he is remarkable ultra-endurance athlete, having made a name for himself for dominating several Spartan races, running 18 marathons (with a personal best of under 3 hours), finishing in the Top 3 of Jesse Itzler’s famed Hell on the Hill, being the first to finish the #29029 Everest Challenge, and most recently running over 100 miles at the Last Man Standing event in Maine. To summarize, Mark is a beast. To keep up with his unparalleled feats, I highly recommend you follow him on Instagram at @Mark_Neilan.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to Season 6 of the Raise Your Game Show – a podcast that zeros in on the proven principles and time tested strategies of high performance in sports and business. 
 
In this season I chop it up with an array of high performers from a variety of different fields and with a variety of different areas of expertise to find out the habits, mindset, and disciplines they’ve developed to not only raise their game… but to sustain it as well.
 
More specifically, I will find out what they have done, and what they continue to do, to manage stress, avoid stagnation, and beat burnout. 
 
After all, it’s one thing to reach the top, it’s another to stay there.
 
I hope you enjoy - and more importantly - I hope you benefit from the wisdom they bestow… and that it helps you raise… and sustain… your game!

In this episode, I catch up with my long-time friend and colleague, Brian Levenson. Brian is the founder of Strong Skills, which provides executive coaching and mental performance training, speaking, and consulting to elite organizations and leaders. He is also the author of the outstanding new book, Shift Your Mind: 9 Mental Shifts to Thrive in Preparation and Performance. Elite performers don&apos;t rely on talent alone. Rather, they harness the power of shifting between complementary mindsets—one for preparing effectively and one for delivering when it counts. This book was easily one of my top reads of 2020. For more on Brian, and to order his book, please check out StrongSkills.co.</itunes:summary>

In this episode, I hit the virtual court with actor, influencer, and international street-ball legend, Grayson Boucher… who is known around the globe as The Professor. Grayson helped put the And1 Mixtape Tour on the map and now has one of the most heavily viewed YouTube channels and Facebook pages in the basketball space with millions of loyal followers (with my 3 children being at the top of that list). If you’ve never seen him in action, his skills are remarkable and his videos are highly entertaining.

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to a special Rewind episode of the Raise Your Game Show… where we dive back into some of the most impactful episodes from previous seasons. 

If you are a new listener, I highly recommend you make time to start from the beginning until you get caught up. 

If you are a long time loyal listener, I hope you enjoy hearing these highlighted episodes again. 

Either way, I appreciate you listening and hope hitting Rewind helps you Raise Your Game!

In Season 2, Episode 1, I am joined by David DeWolf, the President and CEO of 3Pillar Global and the best-selling author of The Product Mindset: Succeed in the Digital Economy by Changing the Way Your Organization Thinks. David is one of the most prolific business leaders I’ve ever met. David and I dissect and discuss my signature story of the first time I saw Kobe Bryant work out and why the best of the best never getting bored with the basics and how this directly applies to leadership. You’ll hear this story from when it was performed on stage during one of my 2019 keynotes.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to a special Rewind episode of the Raise Your Game Show… where we dive back into some of the most impactful episodes from previous seasons. 

If you are a new listener, I highly recommend you make time to start from the beginning until you get caught up. 

If you are a long time loyal listener, I hope you enjoy hearing these highlighted episodes again. 

Either way, I appreciate you listening and hope hitting Rewind helps you Raise Your Game!

In season 1, Episode 8, I shared several isolated responses from an in-person conversation I had with Coach Tom Izzo, in Las Vegas at the USA Basketball Fantasy Camp – back when I was the host of the Pure Sweat Basketball Show. We discussed the difference between being a great player and a great winner, why a player led team will always outperform a coach led team in the long run and why the coaching community needs to spend more time invested in self-development. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to Season 6 of the Raise Your Game Show – a podcast that zeros in on the proven principles and time tested strategies of high performance in sports and business. 
 
In this season I chop it up with an array of high performers from a variety of different fields and with a variety of different areas of expertise to find out the habits, mindset, and disciplines they’ve developed to not only raise their game… but to sustain it as well.
 
More specifically, I will find out what they have done, and what they continue to do, to manage stress, avoid stagnation, and beat burnout. 
 
After all, it’s one thing to reach the top, it’s another to stay there.
 
I hope you enjoy - and more importantly - I hope you benefit from the wisdom they bestow… and that it helps you raise… and sustain… your game!

In this episode, I fly high with world renowned keynote speaker, podcast host, and former Blue Angels pilot, John ‘Gucci’ Foley. John is one of the most passionate people I’ve ever met when it comes to enabling and empowering a high performance. One of John’s key principles is teaching the Glad To Be Here mindset… a true testament to the power of gratitude. To see more of John’s amazing work, check out GladToBeHere.com and JohnFoleyInc.com.</itunes:summary>

In this episode, I reconnect with one of my favorite former players, Greivis Vasquez.  I literally met Greivis the day he got to the United States from Caracus, Venezuela. After being Kevin Durant’s running mate in high school at Montrose Christian, he went on to have a brilliant 4-year career for Gary Williams at the University of Maryland. Then, in 2010, Greivis was drafted in the first round of the NBA draft and played for multiple teams until 2016. During that span, he also led the Venezuelan National Team. In 2019, Greivis took a job as the associate head coach of the Erie BayHawks (the D-League team or the New Orleans Pelicans).  </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to Season 6 of the Raise Your Game Show – a podcast that zeros in on the proven principles and time tested strategies of high performance in sports and business. 
 
In this season I chop it up with an array of high performers from a variety of different fields and with a variety of different areas of expertise to find out the habits, mindset, and disciplines they’ve developed to not only raise their game… but to sustain it as well.
 
More specifically, I will find out what they have done, and what they continue to do, to manage stress, avoid stagnation, and beat burnout. 
 
After all, it’s one thing to reach the top, it’s another to stay there.
 
I hope you enjoy - and more importantly - I hope you benefit from the wisdom they bestow… and that it helps you raise… and sustain… your game!

In this episode, I caught up with psychologist Alicia Clark. Alicia was named one of the DC areas top doctors by Washingtonian Magazine and her book, Hack Your Anxiety is a must read. For more on Alicia, and to order her book, check out AliciaClarkPSYD.com. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to a special Rewind episode of the Raise Your Game Show… where we dive back into some of the most impactful episodes from previous seasons.
 
If you are a new listener, I highly recommend you make time to start from the beginning until you get caught up.
 
If you are a long time loyal listener, I hope you enjoy hearing these highlighted episodes again.
 
Either way, I appreciate you listening and hope hitting Rewind helps you Raise Your Game!

In Season 1, Episode 4, I share several isolated responses from an in-person conversation we had with Mark Cuban, in his bunker office at American Airlines Arena in Dallas, TX – back when I was a co-host of the Hardwood Hustle. We discussed why the intangibles you develop on the court have high utility in every area of your life, how he is always the most prepared person in any room and the benefits of getting paid to learn. Here is the episode in its entirety.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to a special Rewind episode of the Raise Your Game Show… where we dive back into some of the most impactful episodes from previous seasons.
 
If you are a new listener, I highly recommend you make time to start from the beginning until you get caught up.
 
If you are a long time loyal listener, I hope you enjoy hearing these highlighted episodes again.
 
Either way, I appreciate you listening and hope hitting Rewind helps you Raise Your Game!
 
In Season 1, Episode 1, I shared several isolated responses from an in-person conversation we had with KD when he was still with the Oklahoma City Thunder, at his Nike Summer Skills Academy in Washington, DC – back when I co-hosted the Hardwood Hustle. KD shared why his love for the game always comes first, the difference between playing on edge and playing with an edge and why being born with talent means nothing if you aren’t willing to put in the work to develop it.

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to Season 6 of the Raise Your Game Show – a podcast that zeros in on the proven principles and time tested strategies of high performance in sports and business.

In this season I chop it up with an array of high performers from a variety of different fields and with a variety of different areas of expertise to find out the habits, mindset, and disciplines they’ve developed to not only raise their game… but to sustain it as well.

More specifically, I will find out what they have done, and what they continue to do, to manage stress, avoid stagnation, and beat burnout.

After all, it’s one thing to reach the top, it’s another to stay there.

I hope you enjoy - and more importantly - I hope you benefit from the wisdom they bestow… and that it helps you raise… and sustain… your game!

In this episode, I caught some fastballs from the UCLA’s first softball All-American, National Champion, and Hall-of-Famer, Sue Enquist. Coach Enquist concluded her storied 27-year career as head coach of UCLA with an 887-175-1 record and is the only person in NCAA history to win a softball national championship as a player and as a head coach. She is a master at attracting and developing top talent and at building winning cultures. If you’re ready to chase excellence, please visit SueEnquist.com to see how she can help.</itunes:summary>

In this episode, I reunite with one of my former players, NBA superstar Kevin Durant. If you don’t know who KD is, please stop listening to this episode right now… because you are embarrassing yourself… and you should be ashamed.
 
You know I am kidding. Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets is arguably the most well rounded and dominant scorer in the NBA… earning him the nickname Easy Money Sniper and The Slim Reaper. KD has led the NBA scoring, been a finals MVP, a two time NBA champion, and multi-time all-star. And that only covers his dominance on the court. Off the court he has built an equally dominant media company, has numerous 6 figure endorsement deals, and an investment portfolio that would make Warren Buffet blush. And as you will hear in this interview, he’s just getting started.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to Season 3 of the Raise Your Game Show – a podcast that unpacks and dissects the strategies and principles of high performance in sports and business. I’m your host… Alan Stein, Jr.

In this season I lean on several of the most innovative and impactful leaders I know to garner their wisdom on how to effectively lead during times of adversity, how to remain poised during a crisis, and how to look for and capitalize on new opportunities.
 
While these Zoom recordings took place during the height of the CoronaVirus pandemic… the tips, strategies, and principles shared are timeless and can be applied to any future challenge. They also have very high utility. The wisdom dropped can (and should) be applied to any line of work, in any industry, and any organization… in sports or business.

In this episode I climb mountains with Alison Levine, an internationally renowned keynote speaker, author and a captain of the first women&apos;s team to ever successfully scale Mount Everest.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>To say the world has changed since I finished recording Season 2 would be the understatement of the year.

I hope you, your families, your colleagues, your teams, your businesses, and your communities are remaining healthy, optimistic, and relatively sane during this unprecedented time. 

For those of you that have been most deeply affected – from being sick to losing a loved one to being laid off to having to lay members of your team off to seeing your business go under – I wish you the strength, grit, and resilience to persevere. 

For those of you that have merely been inconvenienced and had your lives disrupted – I wish you the strength to make the best of your situation, remain positive, and find new opportunities for self-development. 
For the past three weeks I’ve tried to remain poised, positive, and keep a healthy perspective during this global crisis. 

And that’s the goal of this episode – to create a verbal collage of the myriad of social posts I’ve made in hopes of filling your bucket, providing you with some optimism, and serve as a helpful resource. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In the first 6 episodes of Season 2, I teamed up with two good friends to unpack their thoughts, perspectives, and the lessons they learned from my most popular signature stories (stories I tell regularly in my keynotes, workshops, and trainings). In the next episodes I followed the exact same format – except this time – we dissected and discussed 6 rarely told stories that I’ve only shared publicly on a few occasions.  

In this episode I am joined by friend Kyla O’Connell, a brilliant executive and Senior Partner at Asher as well as a phenomenal speaker, sales trainer, facilitator, and coach. Kyla and I went behind the curtain of a story of DeMatha’s double overtime loss to Gonzaga in the 2015 WCAC championship… and how the lesson I learned about losing with class directly applies to effective leadership. You’ll hear this story as I performed it in studio.

      <itunes:duration>00:20:22</itunes:duration>
      <itunes:summary>In the first 6 episodes of Season 2, I teamed up with two good friends to unpack their thoughts, perspectives, and the lessons they learned from my most popular signature stories (stories I tell regularly in my keynotes, workshops, and trainings). In the next 6 episodes I followed the exact same format – except this time – we dissected and discussed 6 rarely told stories that I’ve only shared publicly on a few occasions.  

In this episode I am joined by my friend David DeWolf, the President and CEO of 3Pillar Global and the best-selling author of The Product Mindset. David and I took a deeper dive into a story about former DeMatha point guard James Robinson… and how the lesson I learned about bouncing back directly applies to business leadership. You’ll hear this story as I performed it in studio.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:duration>00:27:04</itunes:duration>
      <itunes:summary>In Season 1 of the Raise Your Game Show I went back to my vault and pulled out 8 of my most powerful interviews – from the likes of Gary V, Kevin Durant, Mark Cuban, and Brad Stevens – and reexplored their timeless wisdom. In Season 2, I unpack the power of storytelling and take a deeper dive into 12 of my favorite stories – 6 of which are signature stories I tell regularly in my keynotes, workshops, and trainings – and 6 of which I’ve rarely told before. I believe captivating storytelling is the most effective way to teach lessons and inspire behavior change.

In this episode I am joined by Kyla O’Connell, a top executive and Senior Partner at Asher (a world renowned sales and marketing company). Kyla is a phenomenal speaker, sales trainer, facilitator, and coach. Kyla and I unpack and explore my signature story of meeting Stephen Curry for the first time and why setting high standards is vital to high performance and how this directly applies to effective sales and marketing. You’ll hear this story from when it was performed on stage during one of my 2019 keynotes.

      <itunes:summary>In Season 1 of the Raise Your Game Show I went back to my vault and pulled out 8 of my most powerful interviews – from the likes of Gary V, Kevin Durant, Mark Cuban, and Brad Stevens – and reexplored their timeless wisdom. In Season 2, I unpack the power of storytelling and take a deeper dive into 12 of my favorite stories – 6 of which are signature stories I tell regularly in my keynotes, workshops, and trainings – and 6 of which I’ve rarely told before. I believe captivating storytelling is the most effective way to teach lessons and inspire behavior change.

In this episode I am joined by David DeWolf, the President and CEO of 3Pillar Global and the best-selling author of The Product Mindset: Succeed in the Digital Economy by Changing the Way Your Organization Thinks. David is one of the most prolific business leaders I’ve ever met. David and I dissect and discuss my signature story of participating in the grueling Hell on the Hill event and why Living Present is a key to high performance and how this directly applies to leadership. You’ll hear this story from when it was performed on stage during one of my 2019 keynotes.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In Season 1 of the Raise Your Game Show I went back to my vault and pulled out 8 of my most powerful interviews – from the likes of Gary V, Kevin Durant, Mark Cuban, and Brad Stevens – and reexplored their timeless wisdom. In Season 2, I unpack the power of storytelling and take a deeper dive into 12 of my favorite stories – 6 of which are signature stories I tell regularly in my keynotes, workshops, and trainings – and 6 of which I’ve rarely told before. I believe captivating storytelling is the most effective way to teach lessons and inspire behavior change.

In this episode I am joined by David DeWolf, the President and CEO of 3Pillar Global and the best-selling author of The Product Mindset: Succeed in the Digital Economy by Changing the Way Your Organization Thinks. David is one of the most prolific business leaders I’ve ever met. David and I dissect and discuss my signature story of the first time I had a conversation with Coach K and why the little things make a big difference and how this directly applies to leadership. You’ll hear this story from when it was performed on stage during one of my 2019 keynotes.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In Season 1 of the Raise Your Game Show I went back to my vault and pulled out 8 of my most powerful interviews – from the likes of Gary V, Kevin Durant, Mark Cuban, and Brad Stevens – and reexplored their timeless wisdom. In Season 2, I unpack the power of storytelling and take a deeper dive into 12 of my favorite stories – 6 of which are signature stories I tell regularly in my keynotes, workshops, and trainings – and 6 of which I’ve rarely told before. I believe captivating storytelling is the most effective way to teach lessons and inspire behavior change.

In this episode I am joined by David DeWolf, the President and CEO of 3Pillar Global and the best-selling author of The Product Mindset: Succeed in the Digital Economy by Changing the Way Your Organization Thinks. David is one of the most prolific business leaders I’ve ever met. David and I dissect and discuss my signature story of the first time I saw Kobe Bryant work out and why the best of the best never getting bored with the basics and how this directly applies to leadership. You’ll hear this story from when it was performed on stage during one of my 2019 keynotes.</itunes:summary>

Here are several isolated responses from an in-person conversation I had with Coach Tom Izzo, in Las Vegas at the USA Basketball Fantasy Camp – back when I was the host of the Pure Sweat Basketball Show. We discussed the difference between being a great player and a great winner, why a player led team will always outperform a coach led team in the long run and why the coaching community needs to spend more time invested in self-development. </itunes:summary>

He had to learn how to do everything all over again – even the most basic of functions. This is where he formed a strong bond, respect and appreciation for habits, systems and processes.

Here are several isolated responses from an in-person conversation we had with James Clear, at a PGC Snaps event in Dallas, TX – back when I was a co-host of the Hardwood Hustle. We discussed the origin of his fascination with habits/systems/processes, what a Keystone Habit is (and why they are so important) and how doing a series of little things 1% better will create monumental changes.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>You may know him as the brilliant head coach of the Boston Celtics, but did you know after his standout career as a Division III basketball player, Brad Stevens became the director of basketball operations at Butler in his early 20’s, a position that paid a mere $18,000 a year.

Here are several isolated responses from a brief in-person conversation I had with Coach Brad Stevens, in Las Vegas at the USA Basketball Fantasy Camp – back when I was the host of the Pure Sweat Basketball Show.
