Students Take Over: Until Next Time with Dabney, Alan, and Peyton

This spring I'm releasing bonus episodes of The Take Home. No new
lectures on leadership, instead I'm sharing the amazing podcasts
created by the students in my Leadership for Sport Professionals
class.


Today's bonus episode features "Until Next Time" produced and
created by Dabney Moore, Alan McGuire, and Peyton Wagner. In the
podcast, they interview Michael Lahoud who is an Analyst for CBS
Sports Golazo Network, a color analyst for Austin FC, and on-air
talent for ESPN soccer. And in a previous life, he was an
assistant soccer coach for Trinity University, which is where our
paths crossed, and he first meet Alan. 


During the interview they discuss the Behavioral Approach to
leadership and the Path-Goal Theory. Michael was a standout
student-athlete at Wake Forest and the stories he shares about
lessons learned, starting in the recruiting process, are
outstanding. "Do you want to make history?" What an amazing
question and by answering yes, Michael did indeed make history by
winning a National Championship at Wake and influencing so many
other indivudals in the years afterwards. With a lengthy
professional soccer career at Chivas USA, Miami FC, SAFC, FC
Cincinnati, among others, Michael also played in FIFA World Cup
Qualifiers and AFCON Qualifiers and numerous other matches with
the Sierra Leone National Team. 


I love how Michael talks about the need to take risks, to say
YES, and to keep showing up. Great leaders know that, "closed
mouths don't get feed" and Michael certainly personifies that
mantra. 


This is a fast-paced, delightful conversation. Enjoy!
