July 03, 2020 44. Bill Anthes: The Mind Behind “Between The Ears”
Christina’s guest today is Bill Anthes, Green Beret and founder of Between The Ears, a performance coaching organization that endeavors to build better humans. Bill Anthes does not hang his hat on his military experience. He actually prefers not to emphasize it, but it is a part of who he is and his life experience. Don't be misled though.

In this episode, we talk about…
Bill's military experience (what it did for him and what it didn't do)
Why the "Green Beret" status does not define who he is
Why “mental toughness” is a fiction
Awareness and how it fundamentally impacts everything we do
Projects Bill has in the works right now (Bill has since announced the opening of Between The Ears Fitness)
Why coaching templates are problematic
What's on Bill's bookshelf that you have to read!
Living in two opposing worlds at the same time (military life vs. family life)
Everybody can’t be both a follower and a leader at the same time
We dissect leadership what it really means to be a leader
Responding to massive failure determines how you learn
