🎧 The Power of Knowing Who You Are (and Who You’re Not): Lessons from Viking Cruises, Southwest Airlines & Shaka Smart 🎧


In this insightful episode, we explore how Viking Cruises consistently ranks as the world’s top cruise line by doing what most companies shy away from—focusing on what they don’t offer. Viking has carved out a niche by knowing exactly who they are and, just as crucially, who they are not. In an industry full of choices, Viking has built success by excluding certain customer bases, like families or bargain hunters, and delivering an experience that speaks directly to their core audience: mature, curious travelers with a passion for history, culture, and exploration.

We also dive into comparisons with other standout organizations like Southwest Airlines and insights from leaders like Marquette Basketball Head Coach Shaka Smart and renowned performance psychologist Dr. Michael Gervais. Each of these figures embraces a powerful truth: high performance and long-term success come from understanding your unique strengths and staying true to them.


Whether you're in sports, business, or leadership, this episode will show you why focusing on who you are not is just as vital as knowing who you are. Learn how strategic clarity, self-discovery, and staying true to your mission can set you apart from the competition.
