Game Changers with Molly Fletcher

Most people are trying to change their results without ever changing the beliefs creating them.

We tweak habits, push harder, and chase bigger goals— but underneath it all, our beliefs are shaping what we see, what we go after, and what we think is possible.

In this conversation, I sit down with Shawn Achor, author of The Power of Beliefs, to break down the seven core beliefs the science shows actually predict your success.

We talk about how your brain filters reality, why beliefs like "I matter" and "my behavior matters" can fundamentally change the trajectory of your life and leadership, and how to start rewiring the ones that may be holding you back.

By the end of this conversation, you'll start to see the beliefs driving your results— and how to shift them so they start working for you, not against you.

We love to celebrate winning—but we don't talk enough about what it takes to get there without losing yourself along the way.
After 15 years as the head women's basketball coach at UCLA, Cori Close just led her team to a national championship. But behind that moment was a constant tension so many high performers face: Can you compete at the highest level without compromising what you believe in?
In this conversation, Cori shares how she learned to manage that tension instead of trying to eliminate it—and why chasing outcomes can quietly pull you away from what matters most. From building a culture rooted in daily standards to redefining success beyond banners and rings, she offers a blueprint for leaders who want both excellence and alignment.
By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a new way to think about success—one that's built on who you become, not just what you achieve.

This weekend, you're watching the best teams in the country compete. But what you're really watching is how elite coaches handle pressure.

In this special March Madness episode, I'm bringing together some of the most powerful moments from my conversations with three of the game's best—Geno Auriemma, Dan Hurley, and Dawn Staley—who have combined for 17 national championships and are all coaching in the Final Four.

We talk about what it really takes to win when it matters most: how they build accountability, create buy-in, and lead teams that don't break under pressure. From recruiting and culture to discipline and daily standards, this is a behind-the-scenes look at how championship programs are built.

If you want to understand what actually separates good teams from champions, this is it.

What if success doesn't give you what you thought it would?

In this conversation, I sit down with soccer legend Landon Donovan—the face of American soccer—to unpack the hidden cost of success and why achieving at the highest level can still leave you feeling empty. By every measure, he made it. And yet behind the accolades, he was quietly struggling.

We talk about the childhood wound that fueled his drive, the identity trap so many high performers fall into, and the moment everything unraveled after the 2006 World Cup.
If you're someone who keeps chasing more but still feels like it's not enough, this episode will give you a new framework for pursuing success without losing yourself.

Have you ever felt like everyone else has figured AI out except you? Even high achievers are quietly wondering if they are already behind. The pressure is not just about learning new tools. It is about staying relevant and valuable in a rapidly changing world.
In this episode, I sit down with AI expert Allie K. Miller to break down practical ways to turn AI into your advantage. We unpack where most people are underusing it, how to create real leverage at work, and simple workflows that can free up hours each week.
