In this episode of the Coach Approach Ministries podcast, Executive Director Brian Miller and co-host Chad Hall dive into the intriguing concept of choosing your enemies wisely, inspired by Patrick Bet-David's book Your Next Five Moves. Chad shares his experience with the book, which, while primarily focused on business strategy, offers powerful insights on how identifying and engaging with your "enemies" can fuel your motivation and drive success.

Drawing on examples like Tom Brady and Quentin Tarantino, Brian and Chad illustrate how successful people use the concept of an enemy—whether it's a competitor, a challenge, or even an internal obstacle—as a source of inspiration and energy.
They also reflect on how coaches and leaders can apply this mindset to both their personal growth and the success of their clients, emphasizing the importance of caring deeply and allowing yourself to be emotionally invested in your goals.
Whether you're a coach, a business leader, or simply someone looking to unlock greater motivation, this episode offers valuable insights on harnessing the power of competition and emotion to elevate your game.
