Two years ago, I peered over the shoulder of a world-renown cardiac surgeon as he made precise incisions into a still-beating heart. My guest this week, Brian Ferguson, facilitated the observation.
Brian and I will explore the mental models and habits that enable people to thrive in the midst of challenging circumstances. He is a former SEAL and is currently the founder and CEO of Arena Labs. Brian currently works with the leadership team at the world-renown Cleveland Clinic, developing techniques alongside surgeons and nurses to help them succeed in time-sensitive, life-threatening situations. He's assembled a team of world class musicians, military special operators, and athletes to teach the techniques of high performance to those in the Arena.
He also moonlights as a faculty member at Singularity University, has worked with Red Bull performance experts, and is a thought partner and coach to numerous senior executives.
More than anything, Brian is a deeply intentional friend who improves the lives of all he touches. Our journeys were intertwined during our military days, and he continues to be a trusted confidant.
