Revealing an eight-year study with Don Yaeger & Gen. Bernie Banks
Corporate Competitor Podcast Episode 231
How do you turn a moment into lasting momentum?
In this special edition episode, Don Yaeger is joined by leadership expert and retired Brigadier General Dr. Bernie Banks to reveal the science (and the strategy) behind momentum. Together, they co-authored The New Science of Momentum to help leaders recognize the spark, capture it, and turn it into unstoppable progress in business, sports, politics, and military.
From commanding in Desert Storm to teaching at West Point and Rice University to transforming organizations, Bernie’s perspective is battle-tested, data-backed, and built to help leaders at every level create their own momentum shift.

We speak the same language. I am inspired by the stories you tell, the people you have met, and the things you’ve done. Those of us that are competitors like to follow others that have been down that journey, so it is always fun talking to you!”
