Fortuitous Encounters

Connecting with My Dad


Listen Later

In this last episode I speak with my Dad, Kevin Bryant. He has been involved in leadership roles in interscholastic and intercollegiate athletic administration and coaching for most of his work life. He also has a strong background in fundraising, casting vision, and taking an idea or goal and making it a reality.

Currently, Kevin is an Adjunct Professor in Sport Leadership and Management at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. In 2014, he founded Thrive Athletic Consulting, LLC, a consulting business for interscholastic athletic administrators around the US and Canada. In April 2024, my dad was inducted into the Oregon Athletic Directors Association (OADA) Hall of Fame where we as a family got to celebrate him! 

While all of this is quite impressive, what matters most to me is that this guy is my dad. In our conversation about connection and leadership, he shares many great nuggets which I am grateful to have recorded!

Here are a few of those nuggets:

“Connecting is what life is all about”

"Remember you have 2 ears and 1 mouth - use them in that proportion."

"Be FAT: Faithful, Available, and Teachable."

"Leadership is not for the unafraid."
