What separates the elite from the exceptional? Is greatness just talent — or something deeper, more deliberate?

In this episode of Performers, we explore the mind of Garry Kasparov — chess grandmaster, world champion, and one of the most formidable strategic thinkers of all time. His book How Life Imitates Chess is more than a treatise on the game; it's a playbook for decision-making under pressure, self-awareness, and long-term performance.

Join Dr. Duncan Simpson and Dr. Greg Young as they decode Kasparov’s lessons — from growing up in the Soviet Union to battling IBM’s Deep Blue — and uncover what it truly means to lead, think, and perform at the highest level.

♟️ Why talent is nothing without environment

🧠 The true meaning of self-awareness in decision-making 🔥 How to build intuition through reps, reflection, and risk ⚔️ Why aggression, done right, creates psychological pressure 💡 What separates tactical thinkers from long-term strategists

🚧 How success breeds complacency — and how to avoid it 🎯 How to use failure, not fear it, as a pathway to mastery

Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, coach, or someone chasing high performance, this episode is your invitation to sharpen your strategy, master your mind, and play to win — in every arena.
