Rob reflects on Clough's upbringing in a working-class family, his incredible goal-scoring record as a player, and his subsequent rise to become one of the greatest football managers in history. Rob delves into Clough's successful principles, such as his emphasis on recruiting good players and his belief in the importance of the spine of a team. He also explores Clough's challenges, including his infamous 44 days at Leeds United and his struggles with alcohol. Through personal anecdotes and insights from Clough's autobiography, Riles provides listeners with a deeper understanding of the enigmatic and influential figure that was Brian Clough.

He had a strong partnership with Peter Taylor, who complemented Clough's strengths and weaknesses, leading to their success as a managerial duo.

BEST MOMENTS
"He was outspoken. He was a rebel. He was talented and successful."
"Clough recruited good players and got two, three, and more years out of them than anybody else believed was possible."
"He admits he was egotistical. He admits he didn't listen. And he admits now he did it the wrong way."
"He often sent flowers to wives and his way of getting an influence over the player was to speak to the player's wife."
"He was an unorthodox. He would pull no punches and he would be demanding in terms of what he wanted."

That character I was just like I don't know what I'm doing, but I know that I started college and I started taking aviation related classes and I started flying and I started just doing things that were down that track."
"If you're a bad apple and you can't get on with people, then you're going to struggle. And if you speak to elite coaches and you say, look, as long as you've got somebody who's got an ability, it doesn't have to be the very best in the world, but if they have an ability to perform, it's the psychological aspect that will make them world-class."

Rob delves into the life and career of renowned football manager Jose Mourinho. Drawing from Patrick Barclay's book "Anatomy of a Winner," Riles explores Mourinho's journey from a middle-class upbringing in Portugal to becoming one of the most successful football managers of the modern era.
Rob highlights Mourinho's unique skill set, including his intelligence, multilingual abilities, sports science knowledge, and teaching background. He also discusses Mourinho's formative years as an assistant to Sir Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal, where he gained invaluable experience and developed trust and reliability.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mourinho's upbringing and early experiences in football, including working as an interpreter for Sir Bobby Robson, shaped his career.
Mourinho possesses multiple intelligences, including linguistic ability, sports science knowledge, and teaching skills.
He is a master psychologist, using the media and mind games to create an advantage for his teams.
Mourinho is also an innovative and detail-oriented coach, integrating technical, tactical, physical, psychological, and social aspects of the game in his training sessions.
BEST MOMENTS
"And I think one of the, or amongst the things that excite people about Mourinho and intrigue people about Mourinho is the way in which he landed into the most successful league in the world, the English Premier League with Chelsea and how he took it by storm."
"Jose Mourinho was an overnight success. Very quickly following on from the great success he had in Portugal, as anybody who is invested in the game knows, he went on to have enormous success at Chelsea, coached Manchester United, Real Madrid, and continues to be a highly successful European coach now in Italy."
"He built them up to be greater than they were. He lent them every bit of belief he had and made them feel great and made them into the best players that they could possibly be."
"Obsessed with detail as many great leaders and winners are. But on the football pitch, he was at the vanguard or the forefront, the cutting edge of evolution, where technical, tactical, physical and psychological aspects of football coaching are brought into the arena of everything being done together."

Rob explores the concept of true authentic leadership and the qualities that make a person a true leader. He emphasises the importance of being a doer, someone who takes action and creates positive change, rather than just speaking about it.
Rob also discusses the power of hope and how seemingly hopeless situations can be overcome with determination and perseverance. He delves into the role of dopamine in driving human behavior and highlights the importance of the journey rather than the destination.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
True leadership is about taking action and doing something, not just speaking or having a title.Life may be challenging, but very little is truly hopeless. There are countless examples of individuals overcoming seemingly impossible situations.The journey itself, not the destination, is what brings fulfillment and happiness. It's the hope and progress that give us a sense of purpose.Building relationships and being a net positive giver is crucial for personal growth and success.Trusting others and treating them positively, unless proven otherwise, can lead to more beneficial outcomes in the long run.BEST MOMENTS
"A leader is not someone with a name on a door, that is, humanly created. A leader is a doer. Somebody who does something. Who takes action."
"Very little is hopeless. Life is hard, brutal, challenging, probably things will take 10 times as long as you thought they will take, they will be 10 times harder, and you may not get anywhere near achieving what it is that you thought you would do in the timeframe that you hoped. But there are too many stories and there is too much evidence about human beings about individuals who have achieved great things from seemingly hopeless situations."
"It's the hope that gives you the dope. It's not the achievement or it's not the acquisition necessarily, because yet today's success is tomorrow's irritation. Today's happiness is tomorrow's misery."

"Be yourself. Be truly and utterly yourself. It is the way"

Rob discusses the book "Courage is Calling: Fortune Favors the Brave" by author Ryan Holiday, highlighting the key findings and lessons from the book, which align with the philosophies discussed on the podcast.
Rob emphasises that courage is not just physical, but also moral, and explores the importance of facing fear, taking small steps towards bravery, and standing up for what you believe in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Courage is a key virtue that encompasses both physical and moral bravery. It involves taking small steps and practicing bravery in everyday life.
Fear is a normal part of the courageous journey. It is the first step in recognising that you are on the right path and being challenged.
Courage is about answering the call and being committed to noble ideals. It requires standing up for what you believe in and speaking truth to power.
The heroic journey involves selflessness and transcending personal desires. It may involve periods of depression and facing challenges alone, but it is necessary for growth and defining oneself as a hero.

Rob shares a personal story about his hiking experience in Scotland. He describes how walking in the mountains is like a metaphor for life and the journey of success, and reflects on the importance of having a vision, taking the next step, and not looking back.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Being open to change and planning for new experiences can lead to personal growth and discovery.
Just like in walking or in life, having a clear idea of where you want to go and a plan to get there can help guide your journey.
Looking back can hold you back from progress and hinder your journey towards success.
Sometimes, it's necessary to pause, reflect, and recharge before continuing on. Taking time to rest can help maintain motivation and prevent burnout.
BEST MOMENTS
"And the point I want to make here is that walking is like life. It's like the journey of success, or the hero's journey, as I seem to talk about on every podcast."
"You don't know how good things can get. You really do not know how good things can be if you have the faith to step out into your own journey."
"Just keep looking the next step in front of you and taking the next step. And you climb to what you think is the next summit, and then there's another. You don't know what's beyond the next turn."
"But I kept trying and kept looking. And then eventually I saw a path where somebody had trodden before. Like a great poem, The Bridge Builder. Thank you for those who went before and trod the path."

Rob interviews Andy Neillie, a leadership expert and author, who shares his journey from experiencing bad bosses to becoming a successful leader himself. He discusses his book, "The Golden Principles," which draws lessons from his rescued dogs and applies them to leadership. Andy emphasises the importance of servant leadership, where leaders prioritise the well-being of their team members. He also introduces his four-tiered approach to leadership, focusing on conviction, competence, character, and covenant.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The four leadership principles discussed by Andy Neillie are conviction, competence, character, and covenant. These principles encompass having a vision, executing tasks effectively, demonstrating strong moral character, and balancing personal and formal leadership responsibilities.Good leaders are able to see the bigger picture and have a clear vision for their organisation or team. They understand the importance of setting goals and strategies that align with the overall mission.Competence in leadership involves not only being skilled in one's own role, but also being able to effectively manage and inspire a team to perform at their best. Leaders must be able to make decisions, manage risk, and create an environment that fosters success.Character is a crucial aspect of leadership, as leaders must demonstrate fairness, honesty, and other-orientedness. They must prioritise the well-being of their team members and make decisions that align with their values.BEST MOMENTS
"The most successful organisations really go back and capture that old leadership truth from Christ, from Marcus Aurelius, from the servanthood model that revolutionised the Western world."
"You'll never be a better leader than you are a person."
"The truism, you will never be a better leader than you are a person, is a long-term truism."
"Leadership is turning the bowl upside down. You've got the marble and the bowl, but you're always having to do this because you never quite get it right."
