Acerca de esta escucha
Can a small business really compete with the biggest business giants? The typical argument is that they wouldn’t have the budget, skills, or experience. But Catching Giants demonstrates that this simply isn’t true, showing how even in the toughest of circumstances and competitive environments, it is possible for the small player to win big.
When Kevin Gaskell and his small, inexperienced crew took on the "World’s Toughest Row" and set out to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a tiny rowing boat, they knew it would take a single-minded determination, focus, some innovative approaches, and smart thinking to beat their Olympic level competition and become world champions.
But that’s exactly what they did! Through this thrilling, motivating, and inspiring story of triumph over seemingly impossible odds, Kevin shares the 80 world-beating lessons that he and his team used to beat the best at their own game.
Whatever the challenge and whether it’s clarity, strategy, finances, or team alignment that appear to stand in your way, these game-changing lessons have the power to help any team leader, manager, or business owner overcome barriers and drive their team to reach for, catch, and pass their own giants.

As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.

From 1914 to 1916, Ernest Shackleton and his men survived the wreck of their ship Endurance, crushed in the Antarctic ice, stranded 1,200 miles from civilization with no means of communication and no hope for rescue. When the ice began to break up, Shackleton set out to save them all on his heroic 800-mile-trip across the frigid South Atlantic, in little more than a rowboat.

Consistency is the baseline skill that unleashes all the others. Until this skill is mastered, true potential is never realized. Yet most people struggle to keep up any kind of consistent effort, especially when it comes to building their network marketing business. George Campbell readily admits for most of his life he had obvious talent and potential and yet, was infuriatingly inconsistent. Jim Packard on the other hand, is a man with an unbroken string of successes, in his personal life and in business. It is with their two perspectives that they share The Consistency Chain.

Humankind has explored every continent on earth, climbed its tallest mountains, and gone into space. But the largest areas of our planet remain a mystery: the deep oceans. At over 36,000 feet deep, these areas closest to earth’s core have remained nearly impossible to reach - until now. Technological innovations, engineering breakthroughs and the derring-do of a unique team of engineers and scientists, led by explorer Victor Vescovo, brought together an audacious global quest to dive to the deepest points of all five oceans for the first time in history.
