Brett Gilliland 0:00Hello, what's up everybody, I'm Brett Gilliland, and the host of the Circuit of Success podcast. And I just wan ted to come at you this week a little differently. Normally, we have a guest on every week and we talked about whatever the things are that we talked about that they specialize in, or that or the experiences that they've had in their life, the sports, they've played, whatever it may be. But you know, the number one thing I probably get asked the most is, who is your favorite guest?And, you know, what do you learn every week from this. And so what I thought I would do today is just share this, I think fourteen things, fourteen guests that I want to share some of my learnings from my perspectives on those and what it's meant for me throughout the year. And so let's all start, you know, with one of our first guests back in January 2022, it was Daniel Descalso. Daniel, for those that don't know, played with the St. Louis Cardinals among some other teams, but known here locally, as a 2011, world series champion for our St. Louis Cardinals, which was, which was phenomenal.But we talked about a lot of things. And one of the things he talked about was the game will humble you, and it will humble you very quickly, you can go for it over. And I apply this a lot of things in sports to business. Because we can go through and over and over fifteen In baseball, maybe the 0-for acts in, in presentations to clients, if you're in sales, it may be the just random stuff that you have to do as a lawyer or a police officer. And you're just kind of what you would call in a slump. And I think what I liked the most is, he said, it's the work you put in when no one's watching, even when things are going well with your quote unquote, swing. That doesn't mean you get the results and we have to stay committed.So what I think about there is going over fifteen In baseball, but still showing up every day and doing the work. Still showing up. And being committed to your craft, being a student of the game, doing whatever it is that you got to do, even when you don't want to do it. I know for me personally, there's plenty of days, right where you just you don't wake up and you're like, oh, running through a brick wall and you want to show up and go conquer your day and do all that. I think we're all guilty of that. Whether it's it's things going on in our life, it's maybe you were up, you know, traveling crazy for work. Maybe you were up late with kids sporting events. Whatever it may be, not every day, you're up and Adam and I think that what matters is when you show up, even when you don't want to. And that's what I took away from Daniel Descalso.I remember him talking vividly about, you know, hitting line drives and hitting a ball that you think's gonna go over the fence and they rob it, hitting line drives right at the shortstop or the centerfielder. And they're not going the way you want them to go. But at the same time, it doesn't mean you've hit a bad ball, or you could have ripped one, it just happened to be right at him.So we don't need to get so focused on the things that we're not doing well, focus on that good swing. But when no one's watching, you can work on your craft every single time and try to get a little bit better. So that was Daniel Descalso.Next one is Trey Hardee. Now Trey was a great guest. Actually had him on along with Amy Coons, who I'll talk about next. And they did a joint podcast with my son, Drew Gilliland and Addison Baltus. And so it's another thing that I take away is these people, you know,
