John’s solo additions about the book Great by Choice
In the book it’s two teams race across the south pole but John talked about a simpler example walk across the United States:
Walking 20 miles every single day — rain or shine
VS
Walking for 40-50 miles in good weather — fewer miles on bad days
Other points from the book:

* Learn to deal with uncertainty
* Productivity Paranoid
* Durable and specific procedures
* It’s not luck and chance – it’s hard work and ambition

You Action: Define your next march
Some things to think about:

* What are your performance markers, are they clear
* What are your Self-imposed constraints
* Is it in your control
* What’s the proper time-frame — long enough to manage, yet short enough to track progress

So – little different episode but Jolene is fantastic and keeping the podcast going when John’s out so it was his turn to walk the 20 miles
