 Welcome back to Finding Your Summit! After a two-year hiatus, host Mark Pattison returns with an incredible conversation featuring legendary football coach Jim Mora, who recently made the leap from UConn to become the new head coach at Colorado State University. This episode marks a special full-circle moment as Jim was Mark's very first podcast guest on Episode 1, and now returns for Episode 276. The two former teammates dive deep into the art of building winning cultures from the ground up, drawing from Jim's remarkable track record of turning around struggling programs. Key Topics Discussed: The UConn Turnaround Story Jim shares the incredible journey of transforming a program that won just six games in five years into a powerhouse that achieved back-to-back nine-win seasons for the first time in the school's 120+ year history. Learn how he walked into a "walking dead atmosphere" and created a winning mindset. Leadership Principles That Work Discover the three core messages that drive Jim's coaching philosophy: • Actions over words • Discipline over feelings • DNA - who you are and how you reinforce it daily Jim explains why keeping messaging tight and clear is essential, and how the culture you create drops to the lowest common denominator of what you allow. The Process of Excellence Both Mark and Jim share powerful examples of loving the process and embracing hard things - from Mark's Mount Everest summit attempt at 26,500 feet to Jim's team executing over 800 two-minute drills in preparation for crucial game situations. Competitive greatness means being at your best when your best is needed. Building Trust and Reliability Learn why support must equal demands, why team ego must supersede individual ego, and how brutal honesty creates the foundation for championship teams. Jim shares insights from coaching 54 Pro Football Hall of Fame members and what he learned from legends like Ronnie Lott and Morten Andersen. The Colorado State Challenge Jim opens up about his newest challenge - taking over a 2-10 program at Colorado State and building from scratch. He discusses navigating the transfer portal, retaining the right staff members, and identifying which players fit the culture he's building. This episode is packed with actionable leadership lessons applicable far beyond football - perfect for CEOs, business leaders, and anyone looking to create winning cultures in their organizations. As Jim says, "There is no finish line" - champions constantly seek the next challenge. Don't miss this powerful conversation about leadership, culture-building, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
