Podcast appearances and mentions of darrin gray

In this episode "The Publisher" Mr. Kelly Cole sits down with Kenisha Johnson to discuss her new best selling book Unscripted Dreams: Beyond the Blueprint “Sometimes, life doesn't just test your strength—it demands that you redefine it." In this compelling journey through moments of survival, betrayal, and profound growth, Liberty shares her story of transformation. From lessons learned at her great-grandmother's side to navigating the harsh realities of family, loss, and identity, she explores what it means to forge a path in the face of adversity. Her story is not just about surviving but about finding meaning in every struggle and making the choice to heal, grow, and create something meaningful from life's chaos. Through raw and reflective storytelling, Liberty reveals how we all carry a unique strength shaped by our experiences. Whether narrowly escaping a home invasion, competing against odds in the Olympic trials, or building a supportive community, her journey reminds us that purpose is not found in a destination—it is discovered along the way. This book invites readers to see life differently, honor their resilience, and trust in the power of each choice. Liberty's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the courage to rise above. More than just a story, it's an invitation to live intentionally, uncover your strength, rewrite your narrative, and embrace the journey ahead.

This interview is from Father's Day Weekend 2022. We never intended for this episode to be released on our audio network as it was a live interview on YouTube but with our guest having such a great football season, we thought we'd release it today. Jason Candle is the coach of the University of Toledo football team and this year they won the Mid-American Conference Championship and defeated Liberty in the Boca Raton Bowl. We ran into Coach Candle back in June at the Fatherhood Festival at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He had brought his leadership council to help out with the event. The interview took place outside with a lot of other things going on around us but the insights are still good and I think you'll get a sense as to one of the reasons Toledo football had the season that they did.

Henry is a former deputy assistant to President Obama and is the author of The Playmaker Changebook: The New Physics of Leadership in a World of Explosive Change. Henry and Kevin discuss the new game. Teams are no longer operating in silos with one leader. Today, there are different teams and different leaders based on the situation.

Scott O'Neil recognizes we all struggle and need gentle reminders to be present, whether this is professionally or personally. Scott joins Kevin to discuss his book, Be Where Your Feet Are: Seven Principles to Keep you Present, Grounded and Thriving. As the CEO of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, which includes the Philadelphia 76ers (NBA) and the New Jersey Devils (NHL), he knows you win some you lose some. If you recognize where you are at, you have the opportunity to grow, go outside of your comfort zone, and be more prepared. We are about instant gratification, and we choose to take a long view and ask ourselves what we want to be and who we want to serve; it will change the way we work (for the better).

Often, we see grit as something hard-nosed. However, Darrin Gray believes our grit should be fueled by joy. Darrin serves as Chief Marketing Officer at Athletes in Action and leads AIA's NFL Advisory Council. He started in the newspaper business, where he felt he was creating a community. He has carried this idea of community and building a team throughout his career. A winning team isn't about themselves but is a coalition of the willing. These are individuals who not only want to become better (players, leaders, parents) but are willing to help each other build the best version of themselves. Leaders not only need self-awareness, but a mindset and heartset to meet people where they are.
