A Fail First Podcast that explores the raw, unpolished journeys of innovators, creators, and disruptors who turn their defeats into defining moments.

In this podcast I chat with neuroscientist Paul Taylor. Based in Australia, Paul is regarded as one of the foremost experts in resilience training and a popular speaker on the corporate leadership training circuit in Australasia.

In the short video produced by the athletic department at the University of San Francisco, I discuss how I work as a sport psychology and high performance coach with the athletes, coaches and teams.

I once had a boxer athlete in Australia that volunteered to be part of a program I was filming with my Neuroscientist colleagues in Australia (Paul Taylor and Roy Sugarman) . The boxer wanted to experience Imagery/visualization because he had an upcoming opponent that was a true adversary, and he had a mental block when he faced him. During the mental Imagery, he faced his opponent and finally won a bout against him. He actually threw a couple punches during the imagery session. When he came out of the session, he was euphoric and ready to fight. He practiced his Imagery on his own for months, and did end up beating his adversary.
