There’s only so much you can do in a week – or, according to Oliver Burkeman, in the roughly 4,000 weeks the average human lives. Oliver is a journalist and author of the books Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, Meditations for Mortals, and the newsletter “The Imperfectionist.” Chris and Oliver discuss the paradox of why change can only occur once we accept that we might not be able to change. Oliver also shares how life’s mishaps can become our most treasured memories and why sharing your imperfections is an act of generosity.

From Concussions to Championships: How Vulnerability and Team-First Thinking Create Elite Leaders 49:17

23 days ago49:17

What does it really take to be a champion when you're not even on the playing field? In this incredibly inspiring episode of The Teamwork Advantage, Gregg Gregory sits down with Amelia Asparian, a 2022 synchronized skating world champion who discovered that her greatest victories came not from her athletic performances, but from the moments when she had to step back and support her team from the sidelines. After suffering three concussions that threatened to end her elite skating career, Amelia faced a choice that every leader encounters: How do you show up for your team when you feel like you have nothing left to give? Her answer will challenge everything you think you know about leadership, vulnerability, and what it means to be truly valuable to a team. You'll discover why synchronized skating - where 20 athletes must move as one - offers some of the most powerful lessons for business teams, family dynamics, and personal growth. From managing massive egos to creating trust among diverse personalities, Amelia breaks down exactly how elite teams transform individual performers into something extraordinary. Here's what makes this conversation truly special: Amelia's raw honesty about identity, mental health, and the dangerous trap of defining yourself by your performance. Whether you're leading a team at work, raising a family, or trying to figure out who you are beyond your job title, her insights about building your "dopamine menu" and showing up for yourself first will hit you right where you need it most. This is a masterclass in resilience, authentic leadership, and the power of putting the team's why above your own ego. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why sometimes the greatest champions are the ones cheering from the bench, and how vulnerability is your secret weapon for creating unstoppable teams. Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and equipped with practical strategies you can use immediately in your own leadership journey. Because as Amelia reminds us: you are never truly alone, and your value extends far beyond what you can perform. Listen Now - Listen Often!

He shares his journey of multidisciplinary exploration and how it has shaped his life and work, beginning his process with one controlling question and demonstrating how being a generalist allows our creative side to flourish.
