  Season 3 - EP4: From Coaching the Jillaroos to Leading in Business | Brad Donald

  Jul 13, 20261h 11m

  Brad Donald spent 25 years in professional rugby league. He captain-coached in the bush, ran elite programs for the Kangaroos, and coached the Jillaroos through the early days of the NRLW, back when there was no competition, no pay, and no blueprint. In this episode, Brad talks us through what building a high-performance culture in professional sport actually looks like, and how those lessons now shape the leadership coaching work he does through his business. We get into networking advice for young professionals, why relationships matter more than trophies, and how to deal with people who have an opinion on your work and nothing better to do with their time. If you lead people, this one's for you. Enjoyed this episode? Follow Major Convos on Spotify so you never miss a drop. Hit the follow button right now. Know someone who needs to hear this?

  Episode #2

  Season 3 - EP2: Leadership Lessons from Tom Brady, Coach K and Warren Buffett

  Jun 15, 202649 minS3

  Matt just got back from a leadership retreat at Duke University hosted by entrepreneur Jesse Itzler, and the room included Tom Brady, Coach K and leaders connected to Berkshire Hathaway. In this episode he and Corey unpack what actually stuck. The lessons are direct and transferable. Coach K on why values and standards separate leaders from commentators. How he built real relationships with Kobe and LeBron to get the best out of the US Men's Basketball team. Why being on time means being ready to start, no exceptions, not even for superstars. Tom Brady on the three things every leader needs to balance: being loved, feared and respected. And the story of his horse that always came second, why great leaders show people what winning feels like before expecting it from them. Plus how Warren Buffett maintains culture and accountability at a scale most people can't even imagine. If you lead a team of two or two hundred, this one is worth your time. Enjoyed this episode?
