In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we explore how Coach K earned the respect of NBA superstars—and how any leader can win the room.

In 2006, Mike Krzyzewski had no NBA experience, yet he was tasked with leading the Redeem Team. He gained buy-in through clarity, humility, and conviction—by creating a shared cause, speaking to—not at—his team, and using alternative messengers to reinforce his message.

This episode challenges us to lead with purpose, speak with precision, and build unity through trust and shared mission.

Lastly, we’re inviting your feedback on this new audio initiative. Do you prefer multiple stories in one episode each week, or shorter, single-story episodes each day? Share your thoughts in the episode’s comments or message us directly at [email protected].
