  Oct 1, 202639 minS3

  Send us Fan Mail Cory is battling a serious case of the “man cold,” Camille is doing her best to survive it, and then the conversation turns to leadership with one of the leading experts in high school athletics. Jake von Scherrer joins Cory and Camille to talk about more than 40 years of lessons from coaching, teaching, athletic administration, and officiating. Jake shares why great leadership starts with relationships, listening, mentorship, and asking a simple question: “What can I do to make your job easier?” They also get into parenting athletes, supporting coaches, building better programs, and Jake’s advice to parents: cheer like crazy—but stay in your lane. Funny, practical, and packed with wisdom from one of the most respected voices in the field.

  S3 Episode 2: Trust, But Verify: The Stories We Tell Ourselves

  Sep 27, 202618 minS3

  Send us Fan Mail How many problems do we create because we react to the story in our head before we actually know the whole story? In this episode of Barn to Boardroom , Cory and Camille talk about the importance of fact-finding, slowing down assumptions, and learning to “trust but verify.” Camille shares a real-life example of how a secondhand conversation nearly changed her entire perception of a situation—until she went back, gathered the facts, and discovered the reality was completely different. They unpack why fact-checking should be a leadership non-negotiable, how our personal lens affects the way we interpret information, and why getting better information can completely change the way we see a situation. And because it’s Barn to Boardroom , the conversation also includes Dolly escaping into the pasture, Cory chasing a five-pound dog in basketball shorts and socks, Camille’s birthday, cows coming home, and a reminder to appreciate the people who rally around us when life gets hard. Sometimes the problem isn’t what happened. It’s the story we created about what happened. Trust people. Ask questions. Get the facts. Then decide how you’re going to respond.

  S3 Episode 1: Beyond Wins and Losses: Davis Whitfield on Leadership and the Future of High School Sports

  Sep 8, 202635 minS3

  Send us Fan Mail In the Season 3 premiere of Barn to Boardroom , Cory and Camille sit down with Davis Whitfield, Executive Director of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) , to talk about why high school athletics matter far beyond the scoreboard. Davis describes athletics as the “second half of the school day” —where young people learn accountability, teamwork, resilience, communication, servant leadership and how to make the people around them better. The conversation explores the explosive growth of girls flag football and girls wrestling, the future of participation in high school sports, the critical role of athletic directors and state associations, and how businesses and communities can invest in programs that change young lives. Davis also shares a vision for creating more club and intramural opportunities inside high schools so more students—not just varsity athletes—can experience the lessons that come from being part of a team. And in true Barn to Boardroom fashion, the conversation ends back at the barn. Davis reflects on growing up working on farms in North Carolina and how those early mornings taught him discipline, ownership, accountability and the value of simply showing up ready to work. High school sports aren't just preparing athletes for the next game. They're preparing young people for the next level of life.

  S2 Episode 7: Conflict Styles: Learning When to Fight, Pause, Mediate, or Walk Away

  Jun 23, 202622 minS2

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Barn to Boardroom , Cory and Camille take a humorous but thoughtful look at conflict and how people naturally respond under pressure. Using Amanda Ripley’s The Conflict Playbook as a jumping-off point, they unpack four conflict styles: the avoider, the mediator, the fighter, and the conflict entrepreneur. Through personal stories, marriage banter, workplace examples, and even a city bus conflict lesson, they explore how recognizing your default response can help you de-escalate tension, listen better, and choose the right approach for the moment.
