This summer 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 the "Tiger Tracker Podcast" produced and created by Cooper Adams and Matthew Beam. In the podcast, they interview their fathers, Greg Beam and Cody Adams, both of whom are Trinity alumni (@TrinityUAlumni).

Greg is the Director of Merchandising and Marketing at H-E-B grocery stores and Cody is a Regional Vice President at Intertek. It's a lively and spirited conversation and it's a joy to hear Greg and Cody speak about their time at Trinity and how important it is for leaders to "stay close to the people doing the work.

They also highlight that it's easier to motivate followers if you know what they need and that great leaders are self-reflective.

The emphasis on Path-Goal theory creates an important connection to class material. It's a fun podcast format and filled with lots of leadership nuggets. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did! Let me know what you think; reach out on LinkedIn or at @TingleJK on Twitter.
