This Week In The BIG EAST Radio Show, distributed by Westwood One, continues its ninth season with guests Creighton junior center Ryan Kalkbrenner, BIG EAST Executive Associate Commissioner Stu Jackson and FOX Sports and Sporting News Analyst Mike DeCourcy.The seventh episode of TWITBE reviews the past week of BIG EAST basketball, taking a deep dive into the league's top contenders for the regular season title. As the home teams continue to dominate, the top four teams in the standings–Marquette, Xavier, Providence and Creighton–are currently 10-0 against each other on their home floors, in addition to being a perfect 30-0 combined at home in overall conference action. The BIG EAST Spotlight is on Creighton center Ryan Kalkbrenner, who entered the year along with his team with high expectations as the reigning BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year.

In the thick of the BIG EAST regular season title run, Creighton is No. 18/19 in the national polls winning eight of its last nine games.The BIG EAST Focus shines on BIG EAST Executive Associate Commissioner Stu Jackson, who discusses how the race to the top of the BIG EAST standings is tighter than ever with only two weeks to go in the regular season. Also, with changes across collegiate athletics within the transfer portal and NIL taking center stage, the BIG EAST is constantly improving and evolving. Jackson takes the time to discuss these changes and the effects they have on college basketball.FOX & Sporting News Analyst Mike DeCourcy gives a view on the national perspective.

A dozen years ago next week, before the new version of the BIG EAST came into being, Providence's Marshon Brooks dropped 52 points on Notre Dame.

Michelle DeCourcy is one of tens of thousands of women who are choosing to have their breast implants removed. After battling leukemia in her thirties, and learning about a type of cancer that is related to breast implants, the designer and performer investigated the pros and cons of replacement. BII (breast implant illness) is not well understood, but the impacts can be debilitating. Women suffer joint pain, brain fog, and other immune system irregularities. Immediately following the procedure, Michelle noted less inflammation in her body, and her frequent bouts with anxiety and depression disappeared.

On October 18th of 1945 an 18-year-old girl went missing when she was headed to a school dance at the Technical High School in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canada. Her disappearance would quickly turn into a murder case and the case itself and the story around it would actually span nearly fifty years. This week we talk about the disappearance, the grizzly discovery of the body, the confession and the subsequent fallout of the confession nearly fifty years later.

This week's guest is Colleen DeCourcy. She has been named creative leader of the decade. She led Wieden and Kennedy to three consecutive Agency of the Year wins and her contribution to creativity has just been recognized by Cannes Lions with the Lion of St Mark lifetime achievement award. I met Colleen in April of 2015. And as I got to know her, I learned that she was humble, that she was generous, that she was vulnerable. That she was going to make it happen, even though, as you'll hear, she was filled with self doubt. Today, three months into her version of retirement, her impact is everywhere. And her sense of self has found a permanent home. At its heart, leadership is an act of generosity. It asks so much of us that to do it well, to have lasting impact, requires that we give much more of ourselves than we get back. At least in the short term. It's one of the reasons why leadership is so lonely. But the longer that I do this, the more I talk to leaders and try to understand them, the more I realize that there is a truth that shows up over and over again. That the generosity that the best leaders bring, generosity that exists even in the face of their own fears and doubts, generosity that exists even in the furnace of modern business, lifts the people around them to heights they never thought possible. And in the process of doing that for others, what these leaders end up creating, is themselves.
