#140: Brad Richards, Two-time Stanley Cup champion – Trust the work you’ve put in


Listen Later

Today’s guest is Brad Richards, two-time Stanley Cup champion and MVP of the 2004 Stanley Cup Finals.


In the world of hockey, he is also Mister Clutch! He has a perfect 8-0 record in Game Seven play—something NO other hockey player in history can claim. He also set a record for the most game-winning goals in a single playoff season.


In his career, Brad consistently came through in clutch situations. That’s a quality EVERY leader needs, whether you’re on the ice or in the office.

When you listen to this conversation, you’re going to see why. Brad is an even-keeled guy who knows how to put his head down and work hard. 

And all that effort and preparation gives him confidence that he’s ready to step up and deliver in big moments.


You may not be skating out on the ice with a Stanley Cup on the line … but if you lead, you’re going to face high-pressure situations. 


Listen to this conversation and learn how to walk into them with confidence, because you know how to trust the hard work you’ve put in.


You’ll also learn:

  • The key to keeping your competitive drive in check
  • The surprising thing every great hockey team had in common (which actually had nothing to do with hockey)

  • The hard reality you need to accept if you want to truly improve
