Description
For this episode, I’m super excited to share my conversations with two really incredible people in the world of sports. First, you’ll hear a special live recording of my chat with the new athletic director at the University of Washington, Troy Dannen. We invited Troy to come speak in front of a group of our top executives because he’s had a lot of great experience managing large groups of people in complex and high-stakes situations. There’s a lot of crossover application between Troy’s job and really any industry, and I know our team gained a lot of valuable insights from listening to his story.
After that, you’ll hear my conversation with a former Nordstrom employee—the founder and CEO of All In Sport Consulting, Dawna Callahan. Her business works to educate and build training programs for people with disabilities, helping to bring more visibility and opportunity to this community of incredibly talented athletes.
Thanks for tuning in to episode 56. We hope you enjoy it!

Ep 3. Sub Pop CEO Megan Jasper: This episode was particularly fun for me, because I got to sit down with a few good friends, talk about music and one of them even brought cookies! My first guest is a longtime friend, a fellow music enthusiast and author of the lexicon of grunge, Megan Jasper. As the receptionist at an emerging and struggling young Sub Pop Records, Megan got a front-row seat as Nirvana changed the world of music forever. Now as the CEO, she has helped hundreds of new artists find their place in the industry. What you’re about to hear is not your typical CEO journey. Megan grew up dreading her assumed future of becoming either a stay-at-home mom, a schoolteacher or a nun, which didn’t exactly fit well with her free-spirited, punk rock lifestyle. By age 14, she was already on the radio pumping out anti-authoritarian tunes and donning a shaved head and wardrobe that made her teachers concerned for their safety.
