368. NFL LEGEND: If You Keep Loving Like This, Every Relationship Will Fail
About this episode
NFL legend Steve Young discusses the importance of unconditional love in relationships and business, inspired by his experiences and Stephen Covey's influence.
NFL legend Steve Young joins The Greg McKeown Podcast to discuss his book "The Law of Love," exploring a pivotal moment when Stephen Covey helped him shift from a transactional, self-focused mindset to one centered on unconditional love during his difficult early years replacing Joe Montana. The conversation delves into how reducing "transactional noise" in relationships—the need to be special, acclaimed, or right—unlocks deeper connection and abundance in business, family, and all aspects of life. Young argues this principle is universal and "undefeated," supported by science, mathematics, and wisdom traditions alike. Buy the Book: The Law of Love by Steve Young Join Greg's weekly newsletter.
