  The Climb from NCAA Champion to Top 50 in the World - Ethan Quinn, American Professional Tennis Player

  Aug 26, 202647 min

  At 19, Ethan Quinn won an NCAA tennis championship and turned pro, and then lost 12 matches in a row. In this episode, the youngest guest ever on No Show Dogs, unpacks what it actually takes to survive the jump from "top of your world" to starting over at the bottom. Leaders will hear how Ethan handled self-inflicted pressure, the four-part mental reset he uses after every point, why his coaches gave him permission to quit — and why that's exactly when he chose discomfort instead. He talks about resisting tough love, learning to run toward hard feedback, and the discipline of "squeezing everything" out of his career while his peers are still coasting. If you've ever been promoted into a room where no one's cheering for you anymore, this one's for you.

  Leadership Starts With Your Example - Mike Norvell, Florida State University Football, Head Coach

  Aug 12, 202646 min

  You can say all the right words. But if you won't put the action in front of them, nobody's going to listen. That's the standard Florida State head football coach Mike Norvell holds himself to and it started long before he was the youngest FBS head coach in the country at 34. From graduate assistant at the University of Central Arkansas to head coach of the Seminoles, Norvell built his career on a single conviction: never hold a title too big for a task that's necessary. This conversation isn't really about football culture, it's about the daily choice every leader makes to model the standard before demanding it. ReliaQuest Director of Mental Performance Derin McMains is also joined by former US Navy SEAL and current ReliaQuest mental performance coach Josh Cox. He spent 27 years as a SEAL. In this conversation with both McMains and Cox, you'll also hear Coach Norvell discuss: 'Good morning' is a choice you make every day Delegation isn't leadership - Development is Fear regret more than you fear failure ReliaQuest exists to Make Security Possible, allowing security teams to detect and contain threats within minutes — anytime, anywhere.

  Why Greatness Starts With Surrender - Joe Mazzulla, Boston Celtics Head Coach

  Jul 22, 202639 min

  Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla shares a leadership philosophy every business leader needs to hear. From taking over the Celtics just days before training camp to leading the team to an NBA championship, Mazzulla explains why greatness begins with surrender: accepting that failure is possible, refusing to tie your identity to outcomes, and staying grounded in purpose. This isn't really an episode about basketball. It's about what it actually costs - emotionally, psychologically, spiritually - to chase something great. In this conversation with ReliaQuest Director of Mental Performance Derin McMains, you'll also hear Joe discuss: How he defines mental toughness that goes against conventional thinking Trust is built in daily interactions, not in once-a-week meetings The job of a great leader is to one day be forgotten ReliaQuest exists to Make Security Possible, allowing security teams to detect and contain threats within minutes — anytime, anywhere.
