In memory of Rob Browne, the CEO of YouthReach International who died on May 1st, we're revisiting a fun and powerful conversation from 2021 that exemplifies servant leadership and the impact one person can have across the globe. Rob's unexpected passing, following the loss of his wife to cancer just 13 months ago, leaves a void in many hearts but also a legacy of service that will continue to inspire.From the basketball court at Lipscomb University under legendary coach Don Meyer to the challenging terrain of Siberia as a missionary, Rob's journey was anything but ordinary. As President and CEO of YouthReach International, he established mentoring communities for vulnerable youth around the world, touching countless lives through his dedication to serving others.In this conversation with host Matt Fulks, who had been friends with Rob since college, Rob shares invaluable leadership lessons learned from Coach Meyer, entertaining stories from his basketball days, and how these experiences shaped his mission to serve vulnerable youth across the world.

On Monday's Morning Focus, Alan was joined by Davy Quinlivan from Ennis who is a past pupil of St. Flannan's College in Ennis. Davy spoke to Alan about his experience of growing up in Ennis as a young gay man and what it felt like to return to his old school setting to encourage and inspire others as part of Stand Up Awareness Week. This is an annual campaign which gives second level schools, Youthreach and youth services the opportunity to recognise their LGBTQ+ community. If there are any teachers or students wishing to receive more information on Stand Up Week, they can access this information via BeLonGTo.org and shoutout.ie.

This week's chat features an old friend of host Matt Fulks, Rob Browne. Although most of these episodes feature someone with Kansas City ties, we're breaking that this week. Rob is from Atlanta and lives there now, but there's no doubt that you'll be entertained, enlightened and encouraged after listening to this conversation.Rob played basketball at Lipscomb University under Hall of Fame coach Don Meyer before embarking on a career focused on serving others. Not long after graduating from Lipscomb, Rob became a missionary in Russia, but not just any part of Russia...Siberia to be exact. He eventually became the Director of Russian Operations for YouthReach International, and nearly 10 years ago -- in December of 2011 -- he became the President and CEO of YouthReach International, which establishes local mentoring communities to serve vulnerable youth. Their locations include Ukraine, Zambia and Beirut.Rob and Matt discuss the leadership lessons of Don Meyer, tell a story about how Rob had a chance to make the Bisons better once, and how those leadership lessons have carried with Rob as a missionary and nonprofit CEO.  LINKS:To learn more about YouthReach International, visit their website.For more information about the C-10 Mentoring & Leadership program for high school students, including the application process for current high school freshmen and sophomores, visit our website.For all episodes of the C-10 podcast and ways you can listen, click here.If you'd like to make a comment, have a suggestion for a future guest, or your company would like to help underwrite this podcast, please visit our contact page.
