Athlete CEO

Curt Steinhorst discusses reducing distractions, why life hacks might not be creating lasting change, and how to communicate so others will listen

Show Notes

We have all experienced moments of being in the zone. A state of deep focus and peak performance.

Unfortunately, those seem to be difficult to string together. Instead, we find ourselves more distracted and exhausted than ever before.

It’s time to take back your attention and focus on what matters most.

In this episode of the Athlete CEO podcast, Erik has a conversation with Curt Steinhorst, bestselling author, Forbes columnist and leading expert in cultivating focus and minimizing distraction.

Curt offers the latest neuroscience backed research covering topics like:

  • How are we wired to pay attention?
  • How to develop mastery
  • Why life hacks are good tools but don’t lead to change
  • The difference between humans and machines and why it will never work for us to try and emulate them
  • Communicating stories in a way that creates lasting change
  • The dangers of constantly being told you're awesome - and how to surround yourself with people who will give you helpful and honest feedback
  • How to determine what matters most
  • How teams can work to end a culture of distraction
