YOUR FINEST HOUR | In this episode of Your Finest Hour, Novus Global executive coaches Janet Breitenbach and Dr. Randy Poon interview Steve Gow and explore what coaching has taught him. Steve is a full-time influencer, creator, and host of his own YouTube channel, Smoke Trails BBQ. 

Over five months of coaching, Steve went from 30k viewers and an output of 1 video/month to 50k viewers and growing with a streamlined process that allows for 1 video/week, a Patreon account, as well as his founding of a YouTube mastermind group with other creators. His channel now has over 75K subscribers and growing.

Our hosts explore the impact of coaching and how aiming high gets you a lot closer to your lofty goals than if you set an easy goal. We dig into excuses and how they benefit us, how to get control of your destiny, and more.

In this conversation we speak to Olympian, entrepreneur & Executive Chef Dawn Burrell. Dawn is a favorite on Bravo's Top Chef, she;s all about authenticity, and she sees food as a love language for camaraderie, togetherness & gathering. Listen and learn how skills of an Olympian translated to her success as a chef, how she  loves to learn, and much more.

About Dawn

Traveling the world with the USA’s Track & Field team ignited Chef Dawn Burrell’s deep love for the language of food. The 2000 Olympian eventually traded in her track spikes for a full-time culinary career. Chef Dawn snagged her first James Beard nomination for “Best Chef: Texas” in 2020 before her eventual departure during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Burrell has since joined Lucille’s Hospitality Group, where she will serve as Partner/Executive Chef of their restaurant which opened in Summer 2022, while also working to advance the group’s non-profit, Lucille’s 1913, which serves as conscious community collective that is building a vertically integrated ecosystem to combat food insecurity and waste; creating training and employment opportunities in traditionally under-resourced neighborhoods; and empowering communities to discover a self-sustainable livelihood through food.. To Late August — Burrell’s very first proprietary concept — she brings her signature global comfort flavors to the table, while exploring the intersections of African and Asian cuisines via a spring 2022 debut. Most notably, Chef Dawn prevailed on the 18th season of Bravo TV’s hit show Top Chef as a series finalist. She also serves on the board of I’ll Have What She’s Having, a women-led non-profit raising community awareness and funds in support of better health and healthcare in the food and beverage industry.

One of the best mindfulness coaches in the world, George Mumford discusses sobriety and addiction, his love for philosophy, and "the alarming possibility of being able." George is renowned for his work with professional athletes Kobe Bryant and Micheal Jordan, who credit him for transforming their on-court leadership. From former head coach Phil Jackson and players from the legendary championship Chicago Bulls teams in the 90s, George has worked with countless athletes, Olympians, executives, and artists over the decades. Novus Global coaches Jason Jaggard and Dan Leffelaar talk with George about how creating space between stimulus and response can slow down the perceptual process to help anyone in the moment. George shares compelling stories about the false narrative of self-doubt that causes people to accept negative thoughts rather than investigate their validity. The trio discusses Tom Brady's short-lived retirement, and Jason opines why he prefers Star Trek over Star Wars.

Novus Global coach Jason Jaggard and Andy talk about failing forward, the power (and responsibility) that comes with being aware of your natural gifts, why serving and empowering others opens up possibilities, and how practicing her skills and putting in the reps enabled Andy to seize an unexpected, career-making opportunity that arose at an afterparty when Prince invited her to sing with him onstage.

The group discusses fried food at the Texas State Fair, why transparency is so daunting, upgrading complaints and frustrations into developing your vision, and how to run offsites with teams that lead to long-term impact for your company.

META PERFORMANCE SHOW | The term "heartbreak" isn't just a figure of speech, it can actually be quite literal. Dr. Sandeep Jauhar takes us through his fascinating research on Broken Heart Syndrome AKA Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy--a phenomenon in which grief or other emotional upset can cause dramatic physical changes to the size and shape of one's heart and potentially lead to heart failure. Dr. Jauhar and host Jason Jaggard also discuss the journalistic element of being a doctor, self-limitation and the importance of taking risks, having to work harder as an immigrant in America and the parallels between the doctor-patient and coach-coachee relationships. We hope you enjoy!
