  56 Years, One Rule: Adapt or Die - Lin Dunn, Women's Hall of Fame Basketball Coach

  Sep 23, 202645 min

  Fifty-six years in one profession will teach you two things: how to win and how to adapt. Lin Dunn has done both. And she'll tell you the second one is what makes the first one possible. Dunn founded women's athletics at Austin Peay in 1970, led Purdue to a Final Four, became the first head coach and general manager of the WNBA's Seattle Storm, won a championship as head coach of the Indiana Fever in 2012, and was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2014. But this conversation isn't really about basketball, it's really about the discipline of never being done learning, and what happens to leaders who mistake experience for expertise. In this conversation with ReliaQuest Director of Performance Derin McMains, you'll also hear Lin discuss: Delegate the paperwork. Prioritize the people work. Every leader needs a board of truth-tellers. Culture fit outlasts raw talent.

  Inside the Tampa Bay Buccaneers National Coaching Academy: Lessons from Rising Star Taj Darby - Austin College Football Coach and National Coaching Academy Finalist

  Sep 9, 202631 min

  The Tampa Bay Buccaneers National Coaching Academy was established to create new pathways for coaches trying to break into the NFL. Austin College football coach Taj Darby was 1 of 25 to earn a coveted spot in this year's class at the Academy, and then selected as 1 of 5 to return for NFL Training Camp. In this conversation, Taj unpacks the philosophy that got him here: patience, delayed gratification, and belief - built through years of coaching underdogs and turning down Division I opportunities to raise three kids as a single father. The pivot point is a quiet moment from his first week at camp: he lost his voice, and read it as a sign that at the highest level, before you contribute anything, you have to shut up and listen. A masterclass for any leader stepping into a room bigger than the one they came from.

  The Climb from NCAA Champion to Top 50 in the World - Ethan Quinn, American Professional Tennis Player

  Aug 26, 202647 min

  At 19, Ethan Quinn won an NCAA tennis championship and turned pro, and then lost 12 matches in a row. In this episode, the youngest guest ever on No Show Dogs, unpacks what it actually takes to survive the jump from "top of your world" to starting over at the bottom. Leaders will hear how Ethan handled self-inflicted pressure, the four-part mental reset he uses after every point, why his coaches gave him permission to quit — and why that's exactly when he chose discomfort instead. He talks about resisting tough love, learning to run toward hard feedback, and the discipline of "squeezing everything" out of his career while his peers are still coasting. If you've ever been promoted into a room where no one's cheering for you anymore, this one's for you.

  Leadership Starts With Your Example - Mike Norvell, Florida State University Football, Head Coach

  Aug 12, 202646 min

  You can say all the right words. But if you won't put the action in front of them, nobody's going to listen. That's the standard Florida State head football coach Mike Norvell holds himself to and it started long before he was the youngest FBS head coach in the country at 34. From graduate assistant at the University of Central Arkansas to head coach of the Seminoles, Norvell built his career on a single conviction: never hold a title too big for a task that's necessary. This conversation isn't really about football culture, it's about the daily choice every leader makes to model the standard before demanding it. ReliaQuest Director of Mental Performance Derin McMains is also joined by former US Navy SEAL and current ReliaQuest mental performance coach Josh Cox. He spent 27 years as a SEAL. In this conversation with both McMains and Cox, you'll also hear Coach Norvell discuss: 'Good morning' is a choice you make every day Delegation isn't leadership - Development is Fear regret more than you fear failure ReliaQuest exists to Make Security Possible, allowing security teams to detect and contain threats within minutes — anytime, anywhere.
