Winning is hard.

Whether it’s coming in first place in a race or making it to the end of a marathon, winning takes a lot of effort. In an age of Instagram life coaches, TikTok motivation accounts, “Alpha” and “Winner” influencers, there are a lot of external forces that can make you feel that the path to winning is one dimensional, “have it or you don’t” situation.

Dr. Jeff Brown is here to change that.

Dr. Jeff Brown is the Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the Psychologist for the Boston Marathon Medical Team (and a first responder during the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings), as well as a member of Runner’s World magazine’s Scientific Advisory Board, where he’s taken a scientific approach to understanding how to win.

Co-authoring the book “The Winner’s Brain: 8 Strategies Great Minds Use to Achieve Success,” Dr. Brown traveled across the world to hear the stories of some of the greatest high performers in the world, from musician B.B. King and Olympian Kerri Strung, to FBI agents, fighter pilots, and even high-altitude window washers.

Dr. Brown believes that everyone is capable of achieving a winner’s brain, because it’s a skill that you can train your mind to adopt. Empowering your people to be able to adopt a winner's brain is critical for any manager creating a high performance working environment.

And plus, who doesn’t want a few more wins in their life?

This is definitely another episode you’re not going to want to miss, so with that…let’s bring it in!
