Author: Jon S. Rennie September 12, 2020 Duration: 56:47
If you’re anything like me you love to see an elite performance. Whether it’s an Olympian like Michael Phelps or sports figures like Michael Jordan or Tom Brady, we’re fascinated at people who can perform at the highest level. There’s a common thread with these individuals – they all have an elite mindset. I’m joined today by Dr. Larry Widman. Larry is a High-Performance Psychiatrist AND an Elite Mindset Coach. He works with CEOs, Professional athletes, Olympians, and NCAA Sports Teams to develop the mental skills and mindset to push the boundaries of performance. He’s also co-founder of Performance Mountain, a company dedicated to helping people and organizations reach their peak potential. He hosts the Max Out Mindset podcast where he interviews people performing at elite levels. If that’s not enough, he is also the author of the new book called Max Out Mindset: Proven Strategies that Prepare You and Your Team for Battle in Business, Sport, and Life.

For anyone who’s ever felt that leadership advice can be too theoretical or disconnected from reality, Deep Leadership offers a grounded alternative. Host Jon S. Rennie operates from a simple, powerful belief: “Leadership is a People Business.” This isn’t about abstract concepts; it’s about the tangible, often messy work of guiding teams and organizations. Jon brings a unique perspective shaped by his time as a Cold War Submarine Officer and over two decades leading within Corporate America before founding his own manufacturing company. In each episode, he translates that extensive experience into practical, actionable insights you can apply immediately. The conversations here delve into the core of what makes leadership work-or fail-across business, culture, and society. You’ll hear from Jon and a variety of expert guests as they explore the philosophical and practical dimensions of guiding people, discussing everything from daily management challenges to broader cultural forces that shape how we work. This podcast is built on the conviction that leadership matters profoundly, and that getting it right requires depth, reflection, and a relentless focus on the human element. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that cut through the noise and get to the heart of leading well.
