Students Take Over: Captain Campfire with Aliya, Yonnell, and Blake
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 "Captain Campfire" produced and created by Aliya Jackson, Yonnell Esprit, and Blake Poole. The podcast motto "Winning isn't just a goal, it's a mindset" sets the foundation for an excellent episode.
In the podcast, they interview Trinity alumni Taylor Kotfas and Jimmy Tatum. Taylor is 2023 Graduate of Trinity University who earned a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies, with Minors in Business and Geosciences. She was a standout on the Trinity Women's team, including winning multiple conference championships and holding the school record in the 4x400.
Jimmy has two degrees from Trinity, including his Masters in Accountancy which he earned in 2021. He played baseball during his undergraduate days at Trinity and is currently a Senior Audit Associate at KPMG.
They discuss principles of Authentic Leadership and various Gender and Leadership theories. Both Taylor and Jimmy offer great advice - and their perspective as more recent university graduates is refreshing and eye-opening. Taylor highlights that great leadership is about building relationships before anything else. She says people must know they are cared for and it's the leader’s job to make sure people are equipped with the skills to become a little bit better each day. Jimmy talks about the power of authenticity and self-awareness. He says great leaders must be okay with themselves and that "it's okay to not know."
Humility and learning from failure are key messages that surface throughout the conversations. The episode is fun and upbeat, and that Curveball segment is top shelf.
I hope you enjoy!
