In this episode, we sit down with Doug Crandall to talk about his work as a leadership counselor and the experiences that formed him. Doug shares what his time at West Point taught him about character, responsibility, and leading others. He also reflects on his family’s multi-generational connection to the Academy and what that legacy has meant to him. We also dig into how he now helps leaders handle the human side of leadership: self-awareness, hard conversations, and growth under pressure.

This week we sit down with Andy Dooley — the electric voice and energy behind the Seattle Seahawks' social media, and a former football player at Miami University (Ohio). Andy takes us all the way back to where it started: his upbringing, the family that shaped him, and the lessons that stuck with him long after he left the field.

We get into his faith and how it's guided him through the highs and lows, and what it really looks like to find a new identity and purpose after the game ends.

This is a raw, honest conversation about family, belief, reinvention, and chasing what's next — from someone who's lived it on and off the field.

Seattle Storm announcer Alyssa Charlston Smith joins the show to talk about her path from prep standout at Eastlake High School, followed by an impressive college career at Idaho, to playing professionally overseas — and finally landing in the broadcast booth. The twist: the booth wasn't a plan B. It's exactly where she always saw herself ending up.
