What separates the best of the best from everyone else? In this episode, I sit down with performance coach and bestselling author Alan Stein Jr., who shares habits behind NBA icons like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant, and how the same principles apply to business, leadership, and life. We talk about standards vs. goals, blending confidence with humility, purposeful practice in the “unseen hours,” and why discipline creates freedom. Alan also shares the strategies to reduce stress, escape stagnation, and prevent burnout, including my traffic gratitude hack. Get ready to master your craft with daily choices that build tomorrow’s results.
