I work with leaders and was an elite athlete myself. I often see the intersection between both and that includes leaders who effortlessly flow through the most difficult times, and even are at their very best when things get tough.

Any person able to release into a Flow state. I see it at times of crisis (eg Hurricanes, other natural disasters) or even a pro cyclist avoiding what looks like near certain disaster when something happens in the peloton. Requires the ability to become more relaxed when things get harder.

Too funny 😆 I was born in Britain then was an immigrant (I dot use the word “expat”) for decades, in a country know for the warmth of the people. Moved back and to London and the stone faces of people on public transport and the passive way of being, sad to see

Just listened to you and @robarmstrong.bsky.social on the Unhedged pod.
As opposed to putting the s*** back in the donkey, I’m thinking about how do you rebuild trust when it has been destroyed.
Trust is based on both sincerity and competence. Trump has neither. Perhaps Treasury bonds do. Hmm.

Carbs and protein and nothing else.. so assume they put hot sauce on it to give it some taste sensation given the absence of fat. Like me in my 20s as an athlete inhaling masses of pasta, tomato sauce and tinned tuna.. with lots and lots of chilli and hot sauce as it was low fat, high carb etc
