Habits That Create Legends

In today’s episode, I sit down with performance coach Chris Johnson, whose career has spanned from playing professional basketball to shaping some of the biggest names in the NBA. Chris explains why expansion—not transition—is the real key when athletes move from the court to life beyond the game. He shares how routines, habit stacking, and emotional intelligence create the “delta” that separates great players from legends. We talk about the power of presence, confronting bad habits, and why self-discipline is the foundation for success in business, family, and competition alike. Chris also reveals how setbacks became the spark for building his life’s mission.
