"Coach Like a Teacher, Teach Like a Coach" with Tom Walls (E152)
In Episode 152 of the #UUPotential Stories Show, Brandon features coach and teacher Tom Walls.
Imagine coaching American football in Colombia. Now imagine bringing together American and Colombian cultures to develop a group of leaders who are destined for success.
In this powerful episode, Tom shares incredible wisdom from his experience bringing an American coaching philosophy into a Colombian locker room. He also breaks down three key areas for success in education:
Microinclusions and Microconnections
Student Led Teams
Finesse Based Leadership
Tom shares valuable lessons for anyone leading in an unfamiliar or uncomfortable environment and reminds us that great leadership is about understanding people, building connections, and creating opportunities for others to grow.

"Lighting the Wick of Leadership" with Jove Stickel (E151)
Jove Stickel climbed the leadership ladder in education...from teacher and coach to principal. But along the way, he learned a powerful lesson: you can’t effectively lead others if you’ve stopped leading yourself.
At one point, Jove weighed over 600 pounds. His health was suffering, and he had lost himself in serving others. A heart issue became a defining moment. He looked in the mirror and decided it was time to change.
What followed was an incredible journey...1,000+ consecutive days of running, more than 300 pounds lost, and a complete transformation of his habits, health, and leadership.
His journey became the foundation for his forthcoming book and leadership philosophy, WICK:
W — Work Hard
I — Act with Integrity
C — Committed
K — Kind
Jove’s story is a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t just about reaching the top of the mountain. It’s about having the courage to pause, refocus, and make sure you’re still taking care of the person climbing it.
This is an honest, inspiring, and incredibly powerful conversation about leadership, health, purpose, and the journey to becoming the best version of yourself.

"The Leadership Journey" with Dr. Darrin Peppard (E150)
Episode 150!!! The Leadership Journey with Dr. Darrin Peppard (@darrin_m_peppard)
In Episode 150 of the #UUPotential Stories Show, Brandon welcomes back special guest, leadership coach, former school administrator, and great friend Darrin Peppard for a very special conversation about the current state of leadership.
After working alongside countless leaders in schools, athletics, and corporations, Brandon and Darrin dive deep into the common challenges leaders are facing today and the trends they are seeing across organizations. Darrin shares his powerful “Cycle of Chaos” concept, developed through his work with leaders, and explores how gaining greater clarity around vision can help leaders step onto the balcony, rise above the daily noise, and lead with greater purpose and perspective.
This episode is filled with wisdom, honesty, and encouragement for anyone who has been called to lead. It’s a reminder that leadership isn’t always easy...but you are never alone on the journey.
As the 150th episode of the show, this conversation with Darrin is a fitting celebration of the leaders, lessons, and stories that have made this journey so meaningful.
Listen in, reflect, and remember: your leadership matters.
