Peyton Manning on how to call an audible in life

What he's saying: "Winging it is not good in any field I can promise you, especially not on the football field," the former Denver Broncos quarterback said.

How it works: "Guts, instinct and courage are part of making change, calling an audible," he said. "But I really think… it's what I would just call dogged preparation, just having a plan for what might be coming down the road."

The bottom line: "These past few years we've been dealing with what I would call the greatest blitz of all time with this pandemic. It has forced all of us to audible, it has forced all of us to communicate," he continued.

• "So I think there's a good lesson in that: To take the time to communicate and talk about what is our next plan … and I think it goes back to the preparation."
