Beyond High Performance · 2025-08-26 · 1h 0m
We’re excited to share a new chapter of Beyond High Performance. As we transition from our MPS Moments series into a new Greatest Hits collection, we’ll be revisiting some of the most powerful and timeless conversations from past episodes. In this Greatest Hits episode of Beyond High Performance, we revisit Jason Jaggard’s conversation with American actor and producer Cress Williams - best known for his roles in The West Wing, Friday Night Lights, Hart of Dixie, and as the first Black superhero on network television in Black Lightning. From navigating rejection to embracing leadership, Cress shares how his career evolved from supporting roles to carrying the mantle of a cultural icon. He opens up about lessons learned from Drew Barrymore, the responsibility of representation, and how forgiveness transformed his personal life. Whether you’re in film, business, or leading a team, Cress’s story is a masterclass in humility, resilience, and authentic leadership.
