You won’t want to miss this week’s March Madness Basketball conversation with Amanda Younts !!

Amanda is a lifelong OU fan and an OU alumn, who grew up going to games with her mom, and learned all things basketball from her dad, who was a HS basketball coach for most of her life.

We talk all things Sooner basketball (mens and women’s!) and the March Madness tourney! I’m thankful for Amanda, her friendship and guidance, and her willingness to come on the show with me this week!

And she is so much more than just an avid Sooner sports fan! Amanda Younts, MA, MEd, is a dynamic leadership and personal growth force. Known as the 'Midlife Catalyst” ( her Substack publication is Midlife...Don't Call it a Crisis), Amanda empowers leaders and organizations to embrace meaningful change with clarity and confidence. With over two decades of experience in public school leadership and disability advocacy, paired with her training in clinical psychology, Amanda offers a truly holistic approach to leadership development. Her expertise spans behavior transformation, organizational wellness, and personal agency—all emphasizing leveraging individual strengths for collective success. Amanda’s authenticity shines through her work, from hosting thought-provoking discussions on her podcast to leading workshops that tackle real-life challenges like grief, recovery, and reinvention. Amanda’s down-to-earth style and actionable strategies make her a sought-after blogger, trainer, and speaker.

Her Favorite sooner memory is the “Jump Around Game” vs. Texas Tech '08.(that’s one of mine too!)
