044 – Johnny Martin Returns (pt. 2 of 2)

May 18, 2026 · 30 min · Ep 44

Part 1 was the warmup.

Part 2 is game time.

Johnny leads us through a live values exercise — step by step — that will challenge you to do more than name what matters. It will ask you what you're actually willing to lose to keep it.

Real values have to be clear, tested, and behavioral.

If they don't cost you anything, they're just words.

Athletes, ATLAS athletes, coaches — this one's for all of you. Notebook out.
