50 Cups of Coffee with Bobby Audley

Bobby Audleyyoutu.be
Hosted by professional speaker, trainer and teambuilding coach, 50 Cups of Coffee is podcast about the power of connection. The inspiration for the show came from Bobby Audley's 2016 TEDx talk called the 50 Cups of Coffee Challenge. In the talk Bobby challenges you to sit down for a conversation with 50 people in a year. That number might sound big until you fully appreciate, this is not all about networking. It is about simply connecting with people. As a speaker, trainer and coach Bobby has connected and worked with some of the best teams in the world. In this podcast Bobby sits down with leaders in the world of sports and business to talk team culture, leadership and the power of connection. Guests include Super Bowl champions, coaches from the NFL, NBA and MLB, top NCAA college coaches, entrepreneurs, Fortune 500 executives and more. While sharing a cup of coffee and conversation, Bobby unpacks how world-class leaders and coaches create and maintain positive, powerful and peak performance team cultures focused on connection.
