  • #40 Coach K’s Playbook: Inside the Leadership DNA of Duke Basketball
    2025/06/22

    What does it take to build a dynasty — not just in sport, but in life?


    In this episode of Performers, we go deep into the mind of Mike Krzyzewski — better known as Coach K — the winningest coach in college basketball history. His autobiography Leading with the Heart is more than a book on hoops — it’s a masterclass in emotional intelligence, team culture, and adaptive leadership.

    Join Dr. Duncan Simpson and Dr. Greg Young as they break down Coach K’s high-performance philosophy — from game-day adjustments to lifelong traditions — and discover what it truly takes to lead with strength, humility, and courage.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    🏀 Why reliability beats predictability in leadership

    🧠 The mental preparation behind real-time adjustments

    🗣️ How presence, posture, and tone become coaching tools 🔥 The moment Duke flipped the script on UNLV — and why they were ready

    💡 Why elite teams don’t just execute — they reset

    📖 The power of tradition and why identity shapes performance

    🎯 Why the best leaders ask: “What does this group need right now?”

    Whether you're a coach, athlete, entrepreneur, or leader in any field, this episode will challenge you to reflect, reset, and lead with purpose.

  • #39 Think Like a Grandmaster: The Psychology of Success with Garry Kasparov
    2025/05/25

    What separates the elite from the exceptional? Is greatness just talent — or something deeper, more deliberate?

    In this episode of Performers, we explore the mind of Garry Kasparov — chess grandmaster, world champion, and one of the most formidable strategic thinkers of all time. His book How Life Imitates Chess is more than a treatise on the game; it's a playbook for decision-making under pressure, self-awareness, and long-term performance.

    Join Dr. Duncan Simpson and Dr. Greg Young as they decode Kasparov’s lessons — from growing up in the Soviet Union to battling IBM’s Deep Blue — and uncover what it truly means to lead, think, and perform at the highest level.

    ♟️ Why talent is nothing without environment

    🧠 The true meaning of self-awareness in decision-making 🔥 How to build intuition through reps, reflection, and risk ⚔️ Why aggression, done right, creates psychological pressure 💡 What separates tactical thinkers from long-term strategists

    🚧 How success breeds complacency — and how to avoid it 🎯 How to use failure, not fear it, as a pathway to mastery

    Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, coach, or someone chasing high performance, this episode is your invitation to sharpen your strategy, master your mind, and play to win — in every arena.
