We often see head coaches on the sidelines under the Friday night lights, but what does it actually take to build a culture that survives public pressure, criticism, and constant change? This week, Megan is joined by Missouri State Football Head Coach Casey Woods for an authentic look at leadership, family, and what happens behind the title.

Coach Woods shares his journey from sleeping on a dorm mattress and maxing out a credit card as a volunteer coach to leading a Division I program. He unpacks why true leadership requires an authentic "low ego, high output" mindset, how to stay grounded when public praise or criticism tries to define you, and why success in your career means nothing if you're failing at home. Plus, he breaks down his vision for Missouri State as the "front porch" of Springfield and why sports still offer the ultimate training ground for overcoming adversity. Whether you're coaching a team, leading a business, or raising kids in a fast-paced world, this conversation will fire you up to love your team, embrace the reps, and never stop competing.
