They're the ones who never stop learning. If you've chosen growth over coasting, and curiosity over the comfort of being the smartest person in the room, you're a learn-it-all. And this podcast is for you. Host Damon Lembi is a 3x bestselling author, CEO of Learnit, and someone who has spent 30 years watching what separates leaders who keep growing from those who quietly become the ceiling that limits everyone around them. Each episode features real conversations with top executives, founders, NYT bestselling authors, and world-class athletes — people who've faced adversity, made costly mistakes, and done the hard, unglamorous work of growing. They share what they learned — and unlearned — to lead at the next level. Great leaders aren't born or made. They're always in the making. Let's not do that work alone. Stay curious. Keep learning.

In this episode of The Learn-It-All™ Podcast, Damon sits down with clinical psychologist and Oklahoma City Thunder’s team psychologist Wayne Chappelle to break down the emotional, social, and behavioral habits that separate good teams from elite teams. Drawing from his work with special operations, professional athletes, executives, and high-performance organizations, Wayne explains why talent and physical stamina matter, but are never enough on their own. Wayne shares the 4 warning signs that leaders and teams are starting to break down: blindness, complacency, distraction, and despair. He also explains why every leader needs a “wingman,” why difficult feedback is a sign of investment, and why the best performers learn how to compartmentalize emotion when pressure gets high. As Wayne puts it, if your emotional IQ is low, it does not matter how smart, talented, or experienced you are because eventually, it will hurt the team. This conversation is a masterclass in high-performance leadership, mental toughness, team accountability, growth mindset, emotional resilience, and building a culture that can handle the crucible before it arrives. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why natural talent and physical capability are important, but not enough to build an extraordinary team The 4 warning signs your team is mentally falling apart: blindness, complacency, distraction, and despair How elite teams use debriefs to normalize feedback, even after a successful mission or project How to compartmentalize emotion under pressure so you can make decisions based on facts, logic, and objective data Why past success does not earn you a permanent seat on…","meta_description":"What if your team isn’t underperforming because of talent, strategy, or effort, but because they’re mentally falling apart under pressure?
