This week Andrew talks with Duke University Head Football Coach Mike Elko. In 2022, Mike was named ACC Coach of the Year — in just his first season at Duke. He took over a team that was 3-9 the previous season — and swiftly turned things around, leading Duke to a 9-4 record the following year. Andrew asks Mike about his career and the mindsets, tools, & leadership philosophies powering the turnaround he’s leading at Duke. You’ll hear actionable lessons on balancing competing priorities, communicating a clear vision, leading with authenticity, & so much more. This conversation is filled with powerful leadership & career lessons you can apply to anything.
