This was a really fun interview. John studied performance in world-class athletes and is now applying those same principles of success to the business world. Some of his ideas are very counterintuitive. His book is called Overachievement: The New Model for Exceptional Performance.
We talk about butterflies in your stomach, Brett Favre, Blink, goal-setting, and Dave Matthews.

Point of Interest: At 8:10, John complements Malcolm Gladwell as a writer, but questions his credentials on the subject of physiology and decision making. In the interview, I refer to this ESPN.com interview with Galdwell. Find the Brett Favre question about halfway down the page.
