Meta Performance Show Special: Andy Stanley on What We’re Really Capable Of

What happens when we pull back the curtain? In this special edition of Beyond High Performance, we’re flipping the script as our host Jason Jaggard is interviewed by Andy Stanley, Founder and Senior Pastor at North Point Ministries, to unpack the powerful ideas behind Jason’s book, Beyond High Performance: What Great Coaches Know About How the Best Get Better.

Together, they explore the four mindsets that define how we work — prisoner, mercenary, missionary, and athlete — and reveal why the best leaders don’t just perform; they grow. Andy shares how the book challenged his own leadership approach, shifting him from managing to leading again, and why the most irritating question — “What am I capable of?” — might just unlock your next breakthrough.

🌟 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The “high performer problem” and why success can secretly stall progress.
• The single question that drives lasting transformation: What are we capable of?
• Why leaders must model learning, not just teaching.
