Human connection, deep relationships, peak performance, mentorship & reinvention — Brad Barton joins KneeToKnee to share world-record wisdom.
What does breaking a world track record at age 47 have to do with your relationships? Everything. Brad Barton — world record holder, executive coach, keynote speaker, and master of the 'magic of connection' — joins Mark on KneeToKnee for a deeply honest conversation about mentorship, the power of truly seeing people, and why human connection has never mattered more than it does right now in the age of AI.
Brad shares the exact mindset shift that helped him go from an unrecruited ranch kid in Idaho to breaking a 30-year-old masters world record. He breaks down the ONE-decision framework that eliminates the exhausting cycle of daily motivation battles, the 'Touch the Road' rule that almost every high performer quietly uses, and what the movie Avatar taught him about how to greet people in a way that changes lives.
Whether you're a leader, parent, athlete, or someone simply wanting to show up more meaningfully in your relationships — this episode is packed with practical, powerful tools you can use today.
