×Adam is here today with a programming update. We had taken some time away from producing episodes of the podcast in April and May. We used this time for restoration, recording conversations with guests, and improving the podcast. A couple big life transitions took place for Adam during this time as well, and some time away from the podcast helped to give him a bit more space. While we returned in June with three profound conversations, some of those transitions are still taking place for Adam. And it’s made producing episodes in a way that provides a fuller picture and deeper understandings of servant-leadership, a bit more difficult. So we’re taking a step back again to provide a bit more grace and ensure each episode is of the quality we’re wanting. We’ll return as soon as we’re able. Our first episode back will be a solo episode exploring Adult Human Development Models and Servant-Leadership. In the meantime, we encourage you to explore our previous episodes. Catch up on the conversations you haven’t yet listened to, or maybe even revisit the episodes you have. And if you’re new to the podcast, our foundational episode, 1. What Is Servant-Leadership? , offers a great place to begin. And we have some really impactful episodes already recorded that will be coming up here soon. Each conversation features deeper understandings and actionable insights to support you on your journey towards becoming a servant-leader. Thank you for your grace, patience, and understanding during this time. We're so excited to continue to explore servant-leadership and share Love In Basketball with you.…
This episode is a conversation with Chris Acker. I found this to be a conversation filled with partnership. Coach Acker explores what it looks like for him to walk alongside, and partner with the student-athletes he serves to support the achievement of their goals, a collective effort, and build community, rather than imposing coach-led goals that resulted in the diminishment of others previously in his career. Along the way, he explores cultivating an awareness of others’ needs, listening well vs. listening poorly, and why the best ability might be availability. Chris Acker is an Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at San Diego State University. Coach Acker has been an assistant coach for the Aztecs for two seasons, and is recognized as a top-five assistant coach in the Mountain West Conference by his peers. San Diego State is coming off a Mountain West Conference championship, and a trip to the NCAA tournament.

This episode is a conversation with R-Jay Barsh. I found this to be a conversation filled with generous silence. Coach Barsh explores his journey of listening to his own heart and own mind through silence and challenge, to ground and center in his gifts rather than chasing the perceptions of others. Along the way he highlights the power of feedback loops, laying your arrogance down, and empathetic listening. R-Jay Barsh is an Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at Boise State University. Coach Barsh has been an assistant coach for the Broncos for 2 seasons, and Boise State is coming off a 19-win season with an appearance in the NIT.

1:14:31This episode is a conversation with Robert Lucero. I found this to be a conversation filled with empathy. Coach Lucero explores some of the ways he routinely takes the perspectives of those he serves, both his staff and his student-athletes, while reflecting on how ego, an inward mindset, and maybe lack of empathy might have resulted in a bit more diminishment of others previously in his career. Along the way, he highlights honest and loving communication, building community or giving others a place to belong, and serving first.

This episode is a conversation with Rick Croy. I found this to be a conversation filled with healing, and exploring the healing potential of servant-leadership for ourselves and others. Coach Croy explores his recognition of the opportunity to help make whole those with whom he comes into contact, using healing in leadership as a force for transformation and integration. Along the way, he highlights creating an environment that allows for others to share, listening without trying to fix, and shifting focus from the career and professional hunt towards greater service to others. Rick Croy is the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at California Baptist University. During his 8 seasons as head coach of the Lancers, Coach Croy has compiled a 182 win - 63 loss record.

This episode is a conversation with Josh Prock. I found this to be a conversation filled with courage, that shows up as open and honest communication.

Along the way, he highlights the power of mutual trust and feedback, and listening first as a pathway to serving first.

27:05This episode is a solo episode, exploring the connection of Emotional Intelligence and Servant-Leadership. In this episode, we break down some popular misconceptions of emotional intelligence, move towards deeper understandings of the term, and explore how fostering greater emotional intelligence might allow us to more greatly fulfill the Best Test of Servant-Leadership. Robert Greenleaf’s Best Test of Servant-Leadership asks: “Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And what is the effect on the least privileged in society? Will they benefit, or at least not be further deprived?” I hope you leave today’s episode with some additional characteristics of what servant-leadership might look like, and how those characteristics might be actualized out in the world and developed through fostering greater emotional intelligence.

Along the way, he highlights the role of setbacks in beginning the inner journey of servant-leadership, the power of the “softer side,” and using one’s gifts to help others believe in themselves.

1:16:24This episode is a conversation with Frank Allocco, Sr. I found this to be a conversation filled with wisdom. Coach Allocco highlights that self-knowledge often allows us to cultivate larger purpose in work and life, that helps move towards greater definitions of success and service to others. He also explores cultivating a shared vision, and the power of elevating and valuing others as a reflection of their inherent importance. Frank Allocco Sr. is the Executive Senior Athletic Director for External Relations at the University of San Francisco. Coach Allocco is perhaps more well-known for his high school basketball coaching career as the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Northgate High School and De La Salle High School in Northern California.

This episode is a conversation with Carlin Hartman. I found this to be a conversation filled with sincerity and genuineness. Coach Hartman highlights the power of acknowledging mistakes, slowing down and developing patience, and pursuing relationship in an enduring way, by taking a genuine interest in others through their stages of life. Carlin Hartman is an Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at the University of Oklahoma. Coach Hartman is recognized as a top 3 assistant coach in the Big 12 by his peers, the Sooners have reached the NCAA Tournament the last two seasons, and Oklahoma is currently ranked as the #12 team in the country this season. Coach Hartman is a 20-season college coaching veteran, and prior to the University of Oklahoma, Coach Hartman most recently served as the associate head coach at both Rice University and Columbia University. This has been a heartbreaking couple of weeks in the basketball world, with the deaths John Chaney, Hall of Fame Coach from Temple University, Lew Hill, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at UT-Rio Grande Valley, and Tom Konchalski, legendary high school basketball scout. These were people who leave behind a legacy of service to others, with countless lives positively impacted through care, kindness, humility, and love. The light of our world is a bit dimmer without these men. Coach Lew Hill’s family and UTRGV Athletics have established a scholarship fund under his name so his legacy may live on.

This episode is a conversation with Charli Turner Thorne. I found this to be a conversation filled with strength and care. Coach Turner Thorne explores the traps of a results-orientation, how this may block servant-leadership, and some of what she calls a lost perspective that led her to take a sabbatical in the middle of her tenure at ASU, and discover greater purpose in her work and life. She also highlights the differences between accountability and shame, blame, and judgment, and the power of a joyful spirit and self-compassion. Charli Turner Thorne is the Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Arizona State University. Coach Turner Thorne is the winningest coach in ASU women’s basketball history and No. 2 in the Pac-12 in most career wins. As head coach of the Sun Devils, the program has made it to the postseason all but one year since 2001, including a school record six consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, two Elite Eight appearances, and three Sweet 16 finishes. ASU’s 14 NCAA Tournament appearances under Coach Turner Thorne are 11 more than what ASU had in the 15 years prior to her arrival in Tempe. The 2020-21 season is the 24th at ASU for Turner Thorne, who has 512 career wins, and has also earned a pair of gold medals coaching with USA Basketball.

1:25:21This episode is a conversation with Benjamin Sanders. I found this to be a conversation filled with openness. Coach Sanders’ experience at the collegiate and professional levels have exposed him to many different forms of leadership. Our conversations so far have mostly centered around an individual servant-leader. And in this conversation, we hear Coach Sanders’ perspective of having also received more diminishing forms of leadership, from ego-driven leaders. He highlights that we help others to be servant-leaders by being servant-leaders ourselves, and that his shift from an inward focus and self-preservation to servant-leadership came in part from the empowerment and servant-leadership he received from others. He also highlights the power of humility, genuine communication, and finding joy in the successes of others. Coach Sanders is the Video Coordinator for the Long Island Nets, the Brooklyn Nets G-League Affiliate. Coach Sanders has extensive G-League experience, having also previously served on the staffs of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, and the Windy City Bulls, including serving as an assistant coach with Windy City last season.
