Most people think they're world-class. Most people are wrong. In this conversation, Chris sits down with Jodie Cook, entrepreneur, powerlifter, and LinkedIn expert, to break down what it actually means to operate at the very top of any field, and what separates the truly elite from everyone else who just thinks they are.
They get into the five markers of world-class performance, the four stages of competence (and which one is most dangerous), why the "curse of knowledge" makes mastery hard to teach, and how obsession, not talent, is the common thread across every elite performer Jodie studied.
