371: What do coaches do all day?


Listen Later

I'm thrilled to bring you this conversation with world-class coach Mike Harris!

(FYI: There is some mild adult language in here, so maybe listen away from sensitive ears or use ear buds : ) 

Mike is currently writing a book on the value he holds most dear, freedom.
He's a deep thinker who understands the importance of irreverence – in fact I almost called today's episode after something Mike says in our conversation:
"There is a certain irreverence in having choice."

He brings playful energy, a fascinating life journey that brought him where he is today, and at heart a vision for how we can all enjoy the pants off of our lives!

Here are some other mic drops you'll hear Mike share:
"The world is skewed toward a linear expression of how things are supposed to go."
"What if play weren't a reward in a transaction?"
"What if we lived our entire lives in the value of freedom?"
It's so good!

A couple notes:
1. This was originally supposed to be two episodes… I chose to keep the tape running, instead bringing you one longer one. If the ideas are flying at you fast and furious, and you need to pause and come back, I wanted to give you the choice of when and how to do that. But I bet that you, like me, will dive in and this time will go so quickly!
2. Fellow world-class coach Marilyn Dollar was planning to join us but there was a technological snafu… You'll hear us talk about her, and while she doesn't make it into today's conversation she will be coming on the show. So stay tuned : )

I hope you love this conversation as much as I did!
