Whether on the the battlefield or in business, victory -- consistent, repeated victory -- is achieved by teams of talented people.


But what is "talent"? How do you define it? How do you identify it? How do you even begin to know how to look for it?

In this episode, you'll hear my conversation with Mike Sarraille and George Randle, the co-authors of the upcoming book "The Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Organizations Win on Talent".

We'll hit on topics like

  • Why PEOPLE and not PRODUCT are a company's greatest strategic advantage
  • The 9 Foundational Character Attributes of Talent
  • How to develop a talent mindset
  • Where to find the world's greatest leadership incubator
  • and a whole lot more

    Cardiac Cowboys

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
