371: What do coaches do all day?

I'm thrilled to bring you this conversation with world-class coach Mike Harris! (FYI: There is some mild adult language in here, so maybe listen away from sensitive ears or use ear buds : )  Mike is currently writing a book on the value he holds most dear, freedom. He's a deep thinker who understands the importance of irreverence – in fact I almost called today's episode after something Mike says in our conversation: "There is a certain irreverence in having choice." He brings playful energy, a fascinating life journey that brought him where he is today, and at heart a vision for how we can all enjoy the pants off of our lives! Here are some other mic drops you'll hear Mike share: "The world is skewed toward a linear expression of how things are supposed to go." "What if play weren't a reward in a transaction?" "What if we lived our entire lives in the value of freedom?" It's so good! A couple notes: 1. This was originally supposed to be two episodes… I chose to keep the tape running, instead bringing you one longer one. If the ideas are flying at you fast and furious, and you need to pause and come back, I wanted to give you the choice of when and how to do that. But I bet that you, like me, will dive in and this time will go so quickly! 2. Fellow world-class coach Marilyn Dollar was planning to join us but there was a technological snafu… You'll hear us talk about her, and while she doesn't make it into today's conversation she will be coming on the show. So stay tuned : ) I hope you love this conversation as much as I did!
