Podcast re-launches this week. Excited to be back learning from people smarter and more interesting than me. Give it a listen!

[Billy Ryan @NoOneWatching_]

Great organizations do two things very well:

1. Identify fits for their team
2. Integrate and put that person in a position to be successful

@EOF34 talks about how he came over as a "scrap heap" waiver claim, & wound up a meaningful contributor for a dominant @Braves bullpen.

You researched seed oils for three hours but you'll doomscroll for forty minutes with zero criteria for what you're letting in.

Physical health got a system. Information diet is still completely unmanaged. That's the actual gap.

Check out this week's newsletter if this lands.

Larry Bird: "My confidence came from me shooting basketball by myself for hours up on hours."

A mentor who does lunch twice a year can't help you when your team is unraveling in real time.

Sponsorship and skill development are not the same thing. Most people don't figure that out until it's too late.

[Billy Ryan @NoOneWatching_]

Consensus is comfortable. It's also crowded.

Other people's expectations were never meant to be your blueprint.

Building something special by definition means you're looking for something different.

The trick is knowing what it is you're actually looking for.

Favorite March Madness Moment so far:

"I believe in you, but you've got to want this moment."

That's coaching. Not a hug. Not a sub. A direct challenge delivered by someone who actually gives a damn.

Most leaders pick one or the other. The good ones do both at once.

Athletes are wired for the real world.

Coachable. Competitive. Accountable. They've been training those muscles since Day One.

@GrahamRossini sees that, and @TheSunDevils is building a program around it.

You get measured by making the right decision, not the quick decision.

Dug in with @TheSunDevils Athletic Director @GrahamRossini on some of the challenges and opportunities facing college athletics, and how he's tackling it as a someone new to the AD chair.

Keep an eye on ASU

I’ll never tire of watching this!

[Scott Van Pelt @notthefakeSVP]

Been at ESPN a long time - this one was an all timer. Before social media, it was as viral as a story can be. I watched it on a tape in the news room. I couldn’t stop watching his teammates.

[Billy Ryan @NoOneWatching_]

Most organizations don't have an ideas problem. They have a tolerance problem. Courageous ideas die when leaders need consensus before they'll move.

FOMF: Fear of Missing Fear.

Courage without fear isn't courage. It's just confidence with good branding.

@RyanBerman and I get into leading from tension, not around it.

[Billy Ryan @NoOneWatching_]

@ByTimBrown Yes, please!

I've learned some valuable lessons from my conversations with first responders and military operators; one of which is the importance, and challenge, of being in a constant state of preparedness.

[Billy Ryan @NoOneWatching_]

This readiness comes from the quiet hours. The discipline and work that compound over time. If you stack those habits day after day, you'll find yourself in a similar state of readiness--ready to take on whatever life has in store for you.

[Billy Ryan @NoOneWatching_]

This week someone on your team needed you to see them.

Did you?

Preach.

We spend a lot of time and money on the maintenance of our machines. How much effort do we really put into the maintenance of our people?
