422. Dawn Staley on Knowing (and Demanding) Your Worth
Legendary coach and three-time Olympic gold medalist Dawn Staley joins us to talk about what it means to lead—with heart, grit, and unapologetic honesty. She shares:
-The one lesson from her mother that shaped her entire coaching philosophy
-How she stood up to her university and negotiated equal pay
-What losing (and winning) has taught her about grace and dominance
-The surprising toll of achieving your lifelong dreams
-And how her North Philly roots continue to guide everything she does
We also dive into her new book, Uncommon Favor, and why socks, smashed dishes, and LA Fitness-level gym disparities all make an appearance in her story. This is one of the most powerful conversations we’ve had about integrity, visibility, and becoming the coach of your own life.
