Podcast appearances and mentions of stephen mackey

Welcome to another episode of the Hangin' with the AD Podcast. This week we head west to Texas and sit down with leadership author and speaker Stephen Mackey. The episode kicks off with Mackey outlining his "6 Habits of Championship Character," a blueprint for cultivating student-athletes who pursue excellence in every aspect of life. He shares insights on whether these habits follow a specific order and which habit he believes is the essential starting point when developing champions from scratch.We close with a discussion on excellence — what it truly means, why it is a non-negotiable for leaders, and why so many people settle for less rather than choosing to pursue excellence consistently.Whether you're an athletic director, coach, educator, or leader in any space, this episode is packed with practical wisdom, authentic encouragement, and actionable strategies for shaping the next generation of leaders. Let's settle in and get to know Stephen Mackey

Coaching today isn't the same as it was 10, 20, or 30 years ago. The landscape of youth development has changed, and adolescence now extends well beyond high school. As adolescence expands, today's athletes need strong coaches more than ever. In this episode, Coach 360 host, Colton Leonard, welcomes back Coach Stephen Mackey for our special series "Huddle Up With Coach Mackey."  Mackey introduces the Five E's of Leadership—Empathy, Example, Expectation, Equipping, and Encouragement—as a game plan for maximizing impact on and off the field. If you're looking to set high standards while still meeting young athletes where they are, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways from the Episode Adolescence is Expanding – Many young adults aren't reaching full independence until 25, meaning coaches have an even greater responsibility to provide structure and mentorship. The Five E's of Leadership – The best coaches lead through Empathy, Example, Expectation, Equipping, and Encouragement. Empathy Doesn't Mean Soft – Understanding why athletes think and act a certain way helps coaches lead more effectively, not lower expectations. Set the Standard by Example – If you demand hard work, discipline, and excellence from your athletes, you must demonstrate it first. High Expectations Inspire Growth – Athletes don't fear challenges; they thrive when they know a coach believes in them and equips them to rise to the occasion. Encouragement Fuels the Process – Without consistent encouragement, even the most disciplined athletes can burn out. The best coaches build up their players every step of the way.   2W PURPOSE STATEMENT PAGE: www.2words.tv/purposestatement   CONNECT WITH COACH MACKEY Stephen Mackey is a keynote speaker, and founder of 2Words Character Development.

In his best-selling book, The Locker Room, whom he co-authored with Damon West, a football team is brought to its figurative knees when an insensitive comment by a white player is made about one of the Black players. This story, not unlike what we experience every day, presents us with a situation where we can choose to do the right thing or not.Stephen presents six pillars for us to abide by. These pillars dictate how we live, how we make decisions, how we treat people, and who we associate with. The six pillars provide us with guardrails by which to live each day. They will push to make good decisions and challenge us when our decisions are less than optimal.Stephen Mackey is a game changer.

Bestselling author Damon West and player development coach Stephen Mackey join me to talk about their book, The Locker Room: How Teams Heal Hurt, Overcome Adversity and Build Unity. This is a guide to building an inclusive culture on and off the playing field. It's also a blueprint for using grace, humility, servant leadership, and a willingness to listen, break down barriers and encourage difficult conversations in and out of the Locker Room. Spreading their Locker Room principles across the country, this duo teaches how to deal more diplomatically with discrimination, differences, and prejudices to give everyone an equal voice and chance at success through learning with humility and grace. This was a profound episode, as Stephen talks about something he calls anger rights. He clearly delineates between harmful anger and anger that can be used for good.

Sports have the unique power to bring people together from diverse walks of life who share a common goal. And personal opinions and views are irrelevant in the Locker Room. In the Locker Room, players come from all walks of life with varying beliefs, yet they must be inherently united in one common goal — winning. Sharing the Principles of The Locker Room To Build A Winning Culture Bestselling author Damon West and player development coach Stephen Mackey are on a quest to share the lessons they've learned from The Locker Room with America to build a winning culture. In this episode, Mackey and West highlight the six principles they've identified in their bestselling book, The Locker Room: How Great Teams Heal Hurt, Overcome Adversity, and Build Unity,  and share how by adopting these principles Americans can create a winning Locker Room in their own life, their communities, and ultimately the country.

The "let's all get along" train continues unabated as Damon and Stephen talk about their experiences growing up in the wide world of sports.  Sports has always had racial undercurrents, especially right now, but there was a brief time when people actually cared more about the game than identity politics.  Maybe we should extend that attitude from the locker room to society at large.  Turn the country itself into a locker room.  The metaphor doesn't work very well in a short blurb about a podcast episode.  Listen instead.  They describe it better. The Locker Room - amzn.to/3PDajIm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stephen is a first-generation college graduate with a B.S. from Texas A&M University and a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary.  He is currently working on a Doctorate of Ministry, also at Fuller.  Stephen helps coaches and athletes connect the dots between sports and life through the 2Words Character Development program. Mackey's first book, co-authored with best-selling author Damon West, is called The Locker Room: How Great Teams Heal Hurts, Overcome Adversity, and Build Unity. It's coming out this month, May 2022.  Among his many accomplishments, Mackey is most proud of his role as a devoted husband to his wife, Teressa, and father to their four kids. During the last part of the show, Dr. Robin chats with Jackie Reed about the homebuying process in these times. Jackie is a manager at CommunityAmerica Credit Union in their Branch and Outbound Mortgage Sales department. She provides helpful tips about how to find the right lendor and loan officer for your family, as well as how to find a real estate agent that will be dependable with your needs. She also speaks to how the home loan process works at CommunityAmerica Credit Union, and why they take a personal approach with their customers to make sure you are comfortable during the entire journey toward buying your next home. Memorable Quotes: “Because whenever we start to live outside of our core values, adversity, conflict, and hurt will follow.” “But instead, we turn the volume up and we say, let's bring the fullness of who you were created to be and the fullness of who I was created to be. And let's bring all of that and deploy it in service of one common goal.” “The purpose of influence is to serve those that have none.” What You'll Learn: How to encourage our kids to overcome adversity through staying true to their core beliefs. Also, the steps that are involved in the homebuying process, and how you can make the process easier on yourself by being prepared with some helpful tips. This Episode Includes: Stephen was raised by his grandparents and was able to become a first-generation college graduate. He worked as a youth pastor before he started his character development program. If we start with no, we'll find all the reasons why we can't do something. If we start with yes we'll find all the reasons that we can. Stephen shares the six foundational ideas that are represented in his book “The Locker Room” and a brief synopsis of what the story is about. In order to write “The Locker Room,” Stephen reached out to Damon West on Twitter. Together, they collaborated to write and publish the book. One key principle in the book is the idea that following your core values will help you achieve success on the field and in real life. Stephen believes that unity begins when you listen more than you talk. Listening to young people instead of trying to solve their problems is one way to help them overcome mental health challenges. What to look for in a real estate agent, and why your lendor and loan officer can be a great supportive system for you during the homebuying process. What you can do budget wise to prepare for the homebuying process Some tips to avoid getting derailed from the homebuying process. Why getting pre-approved matters and saves you time and stress. Takeaways From Today's Episode: Go and purchase “The Locker Room: How Great Teams Heal Hurts, Overcome Adversity, and Build Unity” to give to a recent graduate as a gift. Talk to family and friends when looking for a real estate agent, as they tend to be the best referrals. Find a lendor who will work with you to understand all the costs associated with buying a home.

You either have integrity or you don't." Tony Dungy

In that moment I found out what discipline was. Discipline is doing what we don’t want to do today, to get what we want tomorrow. I liked to think I was special, but it was our coaching staff that was special. My coaches taught me how to make choices, they taught me responsibility, they taught me that what the statistics said didn’t have to become who I was unless I chose, and that mindset of taking responsiility changed everything for me.” My life was changed by my high school coaches sand I want to help coaches do that for their athletes.” There is so much power in giving a kid what they don’t don’t deserve. Give kids a second chance, but teach them what to do with that second chance. Sometimes coaches will give a kid a second chance, but don’t teach them what to do with that second chance. So what happens? The same thing they did the first time because they don’t know any different.” Are you more about who you are or what you do? If you are so wrapped up in what you do, then what happens if that gets taken away? Theres a lot of things in life that are optional if you want to be successful. Talent? Optional. The right family? Optional. The right school? Optional. Genetics? Optional. But the one thing that is required to be successful?

Economics podcaster, Stephen Mackey, returns to talk about his new YouTube channel, his segments for African Business Radio and an upcoming interview with someone whose book inspired him in High School.

Stephen Mackey, comedian and host of the politics and economics podcast "That's All I Have to Say About That" joined us. We got a little political in this one on one interview between Stephen and Daryl. At one point, the tables were turned and Stephen got Daryl to talk about this podcast.

Many Christians compartmentalize their lives in such a way that their theology never bleeds into certain areas, but our theology should impact every area of our lives. In this episode, Kenny interviews pastor and podcaster Stephen Mackey, for a third straight episode, but this time they dive into a topic that few Christians ever talk about: "How should our theology impact our eating habits and our approach to being physically healthy?" Mackey has lost more than 70 pounds over the last few months and he has become passionate about living a healthy life. Mackey says that living a healthy lifestyle does two very important things: 1- Health honors God. 2- Gives us the power to say "no" to things that are unhealthy, physically and spiritually. 3- Exposes the fact that we find satisfaction in food more than Christ. 4- Enables us to live a longer healthier life, so that we can do more Gospel work. 5- Impacts our self-esteem and how people see us.

In this episode, our host Kenny is joined, once again, by pastor, speaker, and podcaster Stephen Mackey (M.Div.) to discuss the importance and magnitude of each individual person's view of Jesus Christ. The most important answer you will ever give in your life is the answer you give to the most important question in the world: Who do you say Jesus is? In this conversation, Mackey examines and unpacks a famous quote from C.S. Lewis wherein he made the claim that Jesus must be either a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord; there is no fourth option, neither is there a hybrid. You must either reject Jesus' words or embrace them as absolute truth. We must either reject Jesus as having any value or we must worship Him, there is no middle ground option.

In this episode, Kenny interviews a pastor friend Stephen Mackey (M.Div) to answer a tough theological question that came in from a regular listener of the podcast. The question was: "I came across John 20:23. After appearing to the disciples, Jesus breathes on them and says, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive another's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven." Doesn't this seem to negate the work Jesus just did on the cross. I am not sure from a historical point how his was interpreted." Kenny and Mackey dive into the Greek nuances of the Gospel of John to help in order to help bring clarity to this particular passage.
