Coach Nick welcomes Dr. Noah Saint John, author of 27 books including Power Habits, to discuss the intersection of coaching, communication, and peak performance. They explore the generational shift away from ancient rules of motivation like the carrot and the stick, which often rely on anger or disgust.
