Greatness and The Habits of The Best

We've all heard the saying, don't reinvent the wheel. To get from where you are to where you want to be, you need to imitate those who have already achieved greatness.

No one embraces that mantra more than our guest, Don Yaeger. He studied the lessons on achieving happiness and success from some of the most iconic sports legends and entrepreneurs in the world. He's now on a mission to share his message and to help guide people in building a culture of greatness.

His mini media appearances include Oprah Fox and Friends Nightline, CNN, and Good Morning America. He's an award-winning international speaker and host of the popular Corporate Competitor podcast.

He regularly speaks to some of the brightest world-class executives on how sports shape their professional trajectory in life. And his latest book is Great Teams 16 Things High-Performing Organizations Do Differently.
