What if being overlooked, dismissed as too slow or too average, was actually the foundation for becoming one of the greatest of all time?
On today’s episode, we sit down with Luc Robitaille—Hockey Hall of Famer, NHL’s all-time leading left-wing scorer, Stanley Cup champion, and President of the LA Kings. Recorded live at the California Surf Club, Luc pulls back the curtain on the mindset that carried him from ninth-round afterthought to hockey immortality: the daily commitment to get a little better, the discipline to quiet corrosive self-talk, and the belief that being underestimated can be a gift.
Luc’s story is the stuff of legend. In this candid, emotionally intelligent conversation, we dig into self-talk, flow, and the small daily behaviors that compound into greatness—plus how to transition from athlete to executive without losing your edge (or your humanity).
You’ll learn:
- How to move from negative mind → positive mind → no mind (flow)
- The simple rituals Luc used to build consistency and confidence
- Why service to the team is the quickest path out of doubt
- How elite organizations align inputs (not just talk about “winning”)
- What modern leadership looks like when you prioritize people
If you’ve ever been underestimated—or are leading people who are—this conversation will give you a grounded blueprint for turning doubt into durable confidence.
“What are you willing to do when no one’s looking? That’s always, to me, one of the most important things.”
