Coaches often say you learn more from losing than winning, but what if that’s not the only way? In this episode, we flip the script and talk about how to build a culture where learning, reflection, and growth happen even in the midst of success. We’ll discuss how the best place to learn is through wins, so you’re not forced to grow only after a tough loss or rock-bottom moment. Great teams get better while they’re winning, and so can yours.
