When life overloads you with noise, you don’t need more information—you need a play sheet.
In this episode of Second Life Leader, Doug Utberg sits down with Brian Hurtak, corporate strategist and author of The Play Sheet, to explore how football coaches manage complexity—and how you can do the same in your career, relationships, or personal reinvention.
⚔️ Whether you're facing a divorce, a re-org, or just trying to reclaim your edge, this conversation breaks down how elite coaches condense chaos into clarity. We talk:
Why a 400-play playbook is useless without a focused 28-play game plan
How college football schemes teach the art of simplification under pressure
What to do when your OneNote is a hot mess of forgotten insights
The real reason most professionals never reach mastery (hint: it's not talent)
Doug also shares his observations from the West Coast offense, 49ers dynasty days, and why throwing before the break matters—in football and in life.
This episode is for sovereign men and rebuilders who don’t just want to survive complexity. They want to cut through it and execute with precision.
