"Coach" Paul Assaiante is one of the greatest coaches in the history of intercollegiate athletics. He's labelled as the “winningest coach in college sports history,” sporting a 252-match winning streak over 13 years, a 507-29 all-time record, and winning 17 NCAA Championship titles as head coach at Trinity College.

We also look at the role of empathy in coaching, how to learn, improve and perform under stress, and the way to get the best out of everyone.

Minter Dialogue with Dr Chris Kerr (Re-release)
In 2024, I released 47 new episodes and with listeners from 113 countries I want to acknowledge those who are listening from as far away as Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Indonesia and South Africa. I want to thank you for all your support and words of encouragement. I am grateful to have your ear and precious time once a week. So to celebrate the new year, I wanted to re-release the top 3 episodes of the year in terms of popularity. And I found it deeply meaningful that the most popular episode was the conversation I had with Dr Chris Kerr.
Dr Chris Kerr is a hospice physician and end-of-life researcher. He’s also the acclaimed author of “Death is But a Dream” as well as one of the most viewed TEDx speakers, with over 5 million views for his talk, “I See Dead People: Dreams and Visions of the Dying.” In this conversation, we discuss his work, what he has observed about people dying and death, the way the medical community evaluates and embraces — or doesn’t — death. We look at the difference between psychedelic-assisted therapy to deal with fear of death versus the types of the visions one has naturally. We touch on assisted suicide and euthanasia, as well as explore the major lessons Dr Kerr has extracted over the course of his fascinating 25+-year career. As profound as a conversation as I’ve ever had.
