Habits of High Performers Podcast with James Laughlin

From Olympic Track Star to Adidas President: The Inspiring Journey with Zion Armstrong

Zion Armstrong is the Former President of Adidas North America, as well as a former Commonwealth Games athlete who represented New Zealand in athletics in Kuala Lumpur. He went from running from the cops as a teen, to running for his country!

Zion worked his way up the ladder with Adidas, and used his Kiwi values to foster a workplace culture of care, empathy and inclusivity.

Zion was an incredible guest, and I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with him. He was vulnerable, honest and kind - all of the traits of one pic leader.

Zion believes that if you take care of your people, the results will follow.

URGENT: Ex-Google CBO says AI is now IMPOSSIBLE to stop with Mo Gawdat

I have never put out an urgent episode before. I recorded this conversation 5 days ago with the incredible Mo Gawdat. After our conversation, I realised how urgent this information is and how critical it is that we are all aware of the super-intelligence of AI.

Mo Gawdat is the Former Chief Business Officer for Google X, an AI expert, a best-selling author and a passionate podcaster.

Mo spoke to me about AI. Most people bury their head in the sand when it comes to this topic, Mo is trying to change that. He believes that AI can be used for good, however we all need to work together to make that happen. 

This episode is incredibly important. If you have any loved ones or people you care about, make sure you send this on to them. I urge you to listen carefully and then take action.
