Podcast appearances and mentions of Steven Gray

Jan Marsh presents Spirited Conversations recorded live at Nelson's Yaza Cafe.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have come so close to perfecting the recipe to win an NCAA college basketball national championship, but Mark Few and the players have continued to fall just short. Is there a perfect mix of things out there the Zags need to put together in order to bring a trophy to Spokane?Today's episode is a look at three listener submitted questions, each meriting their own segment. Segment one is a look at what it takes to win a national championship, is it high-level recruiting, peaking at the right time, schedule consideration, youth, experience, or sheer dumb luck?Segment two is a discussion about recruiting in the state of Washington, with analysis on the ten highest rated recruits in the state's history dating back to 2000. None of them went to Gonzaga, but guys like Gary Bell, Steven Gray, Corey Kispert, and of course Adam Morrison outplayed them in college, so what does that mean?Finally, we end the show with discussion about how greed has impacted the NCAA, notably discussing conference realignment, NIL and how the NCAA enforces it, and Greg Sankey's desire to potentially get rid of the automatic qualifier in the NCAA Tournament, a wildly unpopular idea that thankfully won't gain much steam.Link to Andy's website all about Gonzaga: https://scorezagsscore.com/Danny Evans GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-coach-danny-evans-his-childrenJeremy Eaton GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/r8yj3-jeremys-cancer-fundhttps://linktr.ee/LockedOnZagsLocked on Zags - Part of the Locked on Podcast Network.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

It is a pleasure to present our friend Keith David, who will read a wonderful story for the holiday season, titled "I'm Dreaming of A Brown Christmas," by Steven Gray and Vernon Gibbs. "I'm Dreaming of A Brown Christmas" was inspired by the lyrics of the classic Christmas song, “White Christmas,” but as imagined through the eyes of a young African American child living in the city. You will also be pleasantly surprised by the music accompanying Keith's reading of "I'm Dreaming of A Brown Christmas," which was composed by Steven Gray. Although this song is a holiday song, I am sure you will agree that it can be enjoyed throughout the year. Please visit cuzzosmedia.com for more information on the authors, additional books and family friendly media. I am excited to share that Keith will make another appearance on Tell Me A Bedtime Story in the very near future! You may purchase "I'm Dreaming of A Brown Christmas" at Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com and many other outlets where books are sold.

A Dilworth old boy says financial compensation can only mark the start of efforts to address 50 years of abuse at the school. A former chaplain and teacher, Ross Browne, has pleaded guilty to 15 criminal charges relating to historical sexual abuse and one charge of possession of objectionable publications. Steven Gray went to the Anglican Boys school between 1978 and 1982. When he was just 13 he tried to report what was going on, but was threatened with legal action. He told reporter Charlotte Cook, it's horrific how long the abuse went on, but compensation is a start. Dilworth Trust Board chairman Aaron Snodgrass announced the news about compensation to the Old Boys through a video to Facebook. He told them after consultation with experts and recommendations from the Royal Commission it had decided to offer financial redress - the finer details of which are still being decided.

Rob's college roommate and all-time great Gonzaga guard Steven Gray joins the show - plus the guys break down Mark Few's Senate Committee debut.

Let's talk about your founder type. There are various types of founders, and some are better than others at taking this amazing idea of impact and improvement for their customers and sharing that idea in such a way that everyone feels connected to it, owns it, and feels like they are a part of that impact when they work for you. Other founders aren't great at it but still find a way to make it work. Steven Gray, Andrew Knight, and Markus Baer got together and wrote an article about startup founder types in Harvard Business Review and I want to share those with you. The delegator. This person doesn't just try to get information out of their teams about how to get the work done, but on all of the pieces of the business, the moving parts, the whole landscape, etc. This increases buy-in and ownership. The problem with this founder is they don't clearly draw the lines around what is and what isn't up for debate. The dictator. There is clear ownership of an idea and the leader paints the picture of what the business or project should look like. Ambiguity is reduced and then everyone has to now focus on making that vision come to life. On the other hand, there is less room to influence that vision or direction. The designator. This is the perfect balance between the previous two. They define what can be up for discussion and what is off limits and has already been determined. Now look within yourself. What type of founder are you? Do you allow everything to be discussed, potentially causing delays, do you allow minimal input and increased production but then potentially creating less ownership, or do you balance the two? There is no wrong answer, you simply need to be aware of how you lead. If you like the idea of being the designator more than where you are sitting today, then make the change. Decide what is established vs. what can be discussed in your business, share it with your team, and start driving that change. Be Legendary!

A former student from Dilworth claims abuse was rife and the school not only turned a blind eye but threatened him with legal action and expulsion when he raised questions. Seven men connected to the Auckland boy's boarding school have been arrested this week on charges of indecent assault, sexual violation and supplying prohibited drugs. The men are aged between 60 and 70 and the offending happened over more than three decades, from the 1970's onwards. Police say there are 17 victims and they have had dozens of calls since they appealed for more people to come forward. Dilworth old boy Steven Gray is not a victim but he told our reporter Charlotte Cook when he started at Dilworth in the 70s it was common knowledge certain staff were abusing students and he was warned to steer clear.

In Steam Power and Sea Power: Coal, the Royal Navy, and the British Empire, c. 1870-1914 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), Steven Gray examines the pivotal role of coal in the Royal Navy, during the short-lived but crucial “age of steam.” Drawing on British government and military records, ships’ logs and mariners memoirs, Gray examines coal from multiple, intersecting perspectives. Beginning with its geopolitical importance, Gray shows that steam powered ships significantly increased the nature and frequency of material supplies needed to maintain a navy at sea. Unlike the relatively self-sufficient sailing ship, steam-powered vessels had an almost insatiable appetite for coal, requiring resupply much more frequently. Further, not just any coal would do: after extensive tests on the quality of coals from across the globe, engineers found that Welsh steam coal was the essential fuel for Britain’s steam-powered navy, and there were precious few suitable alternatives. These facts, then, shaped the construction and maintenance of a system of fossil-fuel infrastructure that spanned the globe. Gray rounds his analysis out by following coal’s journey from mines, through depots and coaling stations, in lighters, and then into ships holds. He identifies coaling stations as unique imperial spaces, in which naval personnel, administrators, and local inhabitants crossed paths. He considers the innumerable hands and backs that groaned under the weight of tons of black rocks, including indigenous laborers and British sailors. Throughout, he demonstrates conclusively the utter centrality of coal to the late-Victorian and Edwardian Royal Navy, and hence to the British Empire. Steven Gray is Senior Lecturer in Imperial and Naval History at the University of Portsmouth. He studies imperial, maritime, transnational, global and transoceanic history, with particular interest in the material infrastructures of global networks, and how these facilitated the mobility of goods, people, militaries and empires. David Fouser is an adjunct faculty member at Santa Monica College, Laguna College of Art and Design, and Chapman University. He completed his Ph.D. in 2016 at the University of California, Irvine, and studies the cultural and environmental history of wheat, flour, and bread in Britain and the British empire.

Further, not just any coal would do: after extensive tests on the quality of coals from across the globe, engineers found that Welsh steam coal was the essential fuel for Britain’s steam-powered navy, and there were precious few suitable alternatives. These facts, then, shaped the construction and maintenance of a system of fossil-fuel infrastructure that spanned the globe. Gray rounds his analysis out by following coal’s journey from mines, through depots and coaling stations, in lighters, and then into ships holds. He identifies coaling stations as unique imperial spaces, in which naval personnel, administrators, and local inhabitants crossed paths. He considers the innumerable hands and backs that groaned under the weight of tons of black rocks, including indigenous laborers and British sailors. Throughout, he demonstrates conclusively the utter centrality of coal to the late-Victorian and Edwardian Royal Navy, and hence to the British Empire. Steven Gray is Senior Lecturer in Imperial and Naval History at the University of Portsmouth. He studies imperial, maritime, transnational, global and transoceanic history, with particular interest in the material infrastructures of global networks, and how these facilitated the mobility of goods, people, militaries and empires. David Fouser is an adjunct faculty member at Santa Monica College, Laguna College of Art and Design, and Chapman University. He completed his Ph.D. in 2016 at the University of California, Irvine, and studies the cultural and environmental history of wheat, flour, and bread in Britain and the British empire.

Pastor Steven Gray preaches at Crewkerne Community church

In this Exponential 2012 podcast, Steven Gray speaks about building leadership. Starting a new church involves more than simply putting together a great launch team. In fact, we may need to abandon the concept of a "launch team" and return to developing a "core". Developing a healthy core and implanting a lasting DNA is crucial in the early stages of a new church. How you develop your leadership will ultimately determine the strength, health, and sustainability of your churh. In this session we will discuss leadership pitfalls and how to create a strong leadership core that will carry the DNA of the church.
