When the world's elite sports teams, performers, or execs need to optimize their performance, they turn to Ben Crowe (https://mojocrowe.com/ben-crowe). He's worked with No.1 tennis champion Ash Barty, Olympic Gold medalists, champion surfers, record-breaking race car drivers, and organizations like Nike.

Ben uses a combination of research, psychology, anthropology, curiosity, and his own lived experience as a dad, husband, and son, to help people fulfill their potential.

In episode one of "Experts Unleashed," Atlassian's Dom Price chat with Ben about his history, story, childhood, and how that has shaped his values in how he operates today. They discuss elite performance and the relationship between sports teams and business teams, and they dig into the nuances of Ben's "Human being vs. human doing" framework, and the ways we can tap into our mindset to find incremental improvements in how we see and relate to the world.

They also discuss the "My User Manual" Play (https://www.atlassian.com/team-playbook/plays/my-user-manual) from Atlassian's Team Playbook. It's an exercise designed to help leaders share with their teams, and teammates to share with other teammates HOW they work. Think of it like this: when you buy a TV, it comes with a User Manual. But when you hire a human, there's no such helpful guidance. Ben takes us through his User Manual and how he finds balance and facilitates effective communication in his life.
