The Gametime Guru Shane Larson

From the diamond to the business world, Brandon Buck knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a leader and a motivator in life. From his bio on his website it reads: 
"For 22 years, Brandon Buck has been helping people and companies maximize their potential. He has led numerous athletes to the professional ranks and colleges, facilitated transitions of small startups to major corporate players, increased the efficiency and productivity of large corporations, and helped individuals discover their purpose."
Brandon played college baseball at Purdue University and has some awesome stories to share regarding his time there. He knows what it takes to compete at a high level and he knows the ups and downs that athletes as well as business owners go through in their journeys. 
Today he's going to share with us his insights and we'll learn about the parallels between sports and business and what he sees in high level leaders across multiple platforms. How do they handle pressure? How do they find JOY in what they're doing? 
I'm grateful for Brandon's time with us on the show and for the knowledge he is willing to share with the rest of us. I'd encourage all of you to listen in and if you or someone you know could benefit from Coach Brandon Buck's services, contact him through his various channels or take a look at his website (Infinite Strengths)
Also need to give a much deserved shoutout to one of my best friends, Brent Chapman! Brent is the reason I was able to connect with Brandon and I'm grateful for that connection! Brent has always been a massive supporter of what I am doing and I have  had the blessing of coaching basketball alongside Brent the last few years! 
If you guys enjoy this episode with Brandon, I'd ask that you consider leaving me a review on the platform you are listening to it on. If you leave me a review on Apple Podcasts, you'll help the podcast get seen by others on the platform when they're searching for podcasts to listen to.

I first learned of Dan Hawkins when  he was the head coach for my Alma Mater, Boise State University. From 2001-2005, Coach Hawkins was leading the Broncos on their journey during their 'growth phase' from a national perspective. While that era was not the first time Boise State had tasted massive success (Coach Hawkins will be the first to tell you that Boise State  has ALWAYS been a winning program), it was a time where the media deal allowed for the Broncos to be seen on a national level. 
Ever since that time, I've followed Dan Hawkins and his journey through the coaching and broadcasting ventures he's been on. It seems that everywhere he goes, he leaves a mark! And today is a great opportunity to hear from him on his experiences. 
What was it like leaving Boise State for Colorado, where his son, Cody (who is now the head coach at Idaho State University) and having to go through the ups and downs of that time in the (formerly known as) Big 12. 
We talk about his CFL coaching experience and what it was like at the professional level with the hurdles you have to jump with the Canadian rules and strategies. 
We also chat about his experience at UC Davis, where most recently Coach Hawkins coached from 2017-2023. 
What are some of the lessons he's taken from his coaching journey? What are some of his favorite memories? What are the next steps in Coach Hawkins' life? What is it like watching his kids and their successes (and what was it like coaching against his son this past season?) 
So many awesome stories coming your way on this one, so if you're a football fan, coaching fan, Boise State fan, or just someone who is looking to learn about the sports world and leadership, this is a perfect episode for you! Make sure to tap in and take some notes!

The world of college athletics is ALWAYS changing. It's hard to keep up as a fan with what the new rules are in regards to transfer portals, NIL, recruiting, etc. Now imagine you're an Athletic Director and you have to find unique ways to overcome these challenges? 
Today, I'm bringing on Jeramiah Dickey, the Athletic Director at Boise State University, to share the inside scoop of what it's like to be an AD at a University in today's ever changing world of college athletics. 
We'll discuss topics such as navigating the transfer portal. How can a school like Boise State keep up with those demands. We talk NIL and how to make sure we still are able to recruit (AND KEEP) the big named athletes who will help turn the program around. How do they stay competitive in regards to the salaries they pay their coaches? How do they increase budget and improve OTHER sports and how can we as fans help witht that? 
Since Jeramiah has taken over at Boise State, there have been some massive changes, yet he always seems to find a way to overcome those and beat the odds. You'll hear today how he credits his amazing staff with a lot of this success! You don't want to miss it! 
I met Jeramiah at the Athletic Leadership Conference held at Boise State University last year and I thought he was an incredible speaker. This is why I tried so hard to get in contact with him, and so 'honored' is an understatement when it comes to the fact he's now on my show. 
Please enjoy the podcast and make sure to rate and review the show if you enjoy the episode! We truly appreciate all of the support and it's because of YOU this show has grown to being downloaded in 182 countries and in all 50 states.

Pete Steinberg is an amazing human being and I'm stoked to bring this interview to you this week! 
As a former U.S., international, and Olympic sports coach and commentator for major outlets such as CBS, ESPN, and Fox Sports, Pete has a track record of bringing teams to victory. He led the USA Women’s Rugby Team to two World Cups and the Rio Olympics and has coached the Penn State Women, MARFU Men, and Temple Women rugby teams to 11 National Championships. Pete brings his experience in elite sport to his work as President of Innovative Thought, where he supports clients in the areas of innovation, leadership, strategic planning, marketing, recruiting, and organizational development.
We will be speaking of his new book: Leadership Shock: Using Authenticity to Navigate the Hidden Dangers of Career Success which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Shock-Authenticity-Navigate-Dangers/dp/B0CR5VLKM2  
What an awesome opportunity to hear about the comparisons between the sports world and the business world. We have an awesome conversation about my current job changes and what I'm currently moving into in my own personal life as well in regards to leadership which is why this interview was so timely. 
I will personally put my stamp of approval on this book as well. I had a chance to read Leadership Shock prior to interviewing Pete and I knew, even just four chapters into it (at the time I interviewed him) that it was an incredible book. If you are looking to gain some insight into the leadership world in business, please consider checking out this book and showing your support! 
As always everyone, if you enjoyed this interview, please leave us a 5-Star Review on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify!! We greatly appreciate you all!

 Thanks for tuning in everyone and taking part in this amazing journey of mine! I love doing this podcast and it means the world to me that I have so many awesome supporters of the show! Thank you all for what you do! I look forward to continuing the growth of the show!

When I tell you that you want to tune into this one, I'm not lying! This is a fantastic episode and an amazing opportunity for you to learn from someone who has leveraged their hard work and talents they put into the sport they played, and is now using them for their business endeavors outside of sport. 
Kenneth Scott played Wide Receiver for the University of Utah. During his tenure there, he sustained some serious injuries, and we'll chat about the mental battles and difficulties that come along with those. How did he overcome them? What was the importance of having a solid support system?! 
We'll discuss the hard work it took to get to a level of being able to compete at the D1 level of football for a very solid program. Physically and mentally and culturally. What was the biggest difference between Salt Lake City, Utah and where Kenneth (K-Scott) came from? 
Outside of football, K-Scott now is an author (I'll link his book down below), a speaker, an educator and much more! He's continuing to share insights from his playing days through various avenues and helping athletes, leaders, and others who are aspiring to be better. 
I'm so excited to share this interview with the world, so please listen in and take notes!!
