In this episode, Stephen Ponder sits down with Brian Ford, Chief Operating Officer of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for an honest conversation about leadership in a people-driven world.

Drawing from decades in sports, entertainment, and hospitality, Brian shares why energy, kindness, and accountability are non-negotiables for leaders, and why every interaction matters, from the biggest donor to the fan attending their first game. He discusses leading through wins and losses, serving the community with intention, and using the platform of sport to create moments that truly matter.
