It's about sucking down to the ones who are doing the day-to-day tasks. He calls these people the we suite. And he says that's who we should be giving attention to, not necessarily the C-suite. Number three, Tom says that your purpose is found where your deep joy intersects with the world's deepest needs. But the order is important. You have to start with your deep joy, not the world's needs.

The world's deep needs are infinite. There will never stop being needs all over the globe. But if you start with your deep joy, your passion, you'll always be on the right path. Number four, create an expert team rather than just a team of experts. They're not the same thing.

People who work seamlessly across boundaries who understand what the goal is and have the ability to trust each other to come up with the ideas. He cites the Kansas City Chiefs as his prime example. He said, or how to cover against other players. And every single member is involved. That's an expert team taking, as Tom calls it, creative chemistry.

Hello, Action Catalyst listeners. This is Adam Outland, and this is another episode of Overtime with Outland. This Overtime focuses on episode 467 with author, entrepreneur, and podcast host, John Miles. We learned a few different things from our interview with John Miles. The first of which is that there's no such thing as a practice mentality.

Hello, Action Catalyst listeners. This is Adam Outland, and this is another episode of Overtime with Outland. This Overtime focuses on episode 467 with author, entrepreneur, and podcast host, John Miles. We learned a few different things from our interview with John Miles. The first of which is that there's no such thing as a practice mentality.

As a young athlete, John used to have a huge issue psyching himself out before track and field meets to the point where he'd get sick. That changed when, like many great athletes, he learned to treat every practice like a real race and every day like a game day. When you fully devote yourself all the time, the anxiety melts away.

It's something John has continued to carry over into his professional life. John also brings up the idea of being a gardener leader. Just as a gardener needs to be there to plant the seeds and give nourishment, sitting over the plants day and night staring at them isn't going to make them grow any better or faster. Leaders need to have this philosophy of being eyes on but hands off.

Leaders need to have this philosophy of being eyes on but hands off.

The third point was to stop living like a pinball. You may have heard the phrase living life on autopilot, but John thinks that's the wrong analogy. When you're on autopilot, we're typically doing the same thing, but it's generally still taking us into a positive direction. He says the better metaphor for how so many of us are living our lives is as a pinball.

letting the world around us influence everything we do. Just as we get distracted in a game of pinball by the noises and the lights, in our lives we're distracted by social media, naysayers, and others. We're not intentional about learning how to play the game instead of it playing us. You can make the choice to live intentionally, or you can choose to continue to live like a pinball.

Lastly, John brings up the idea that the perfect recipe for greatness has two ingredients, constant learning and a bias toward deliberate action. When you combine those things, choosing growth time and time again, while also constantly taking action that go in concert with that growth, that's when things really start to happen.
