ECP 028 How does your environment shape what you do?

In this episode, I take a look at Rangan Chatterjee's interview with John McAvoy.  John's McAvoy transformed his life from convicted armed robber to elite Nike sponsored athlete.  I consider what lessons we can extract from his experiences. I personally took so much away from this interview. I've pulled out five areas to share:

· When our environment is all-consuming it's hard to see let alone question anything different.

· Different role models create a different impact.

· There can be a real benefit in not having benchmarks.

· Applying talents to different things can generate very different results.

· Judge people cautiously
