Stephanie Garcia Cichosz | One Question Leadership Podcast

In this special episode of 1Q, Tai M. Brown welcomes former pro runner and longtime interviewer Steph Garcia Cichosz as the new co-host of the One Question Leadership Podcast. Both reflect on what they learned from years of interviews on the AthleticDirectorU platform.

They discuss former Oklahoma AD, Joe Castiglione’s “water the plant” analogy regarding developing staff, former Washington and current USC AD, Jen Cohen’s focus on mentorship, and other insightful conversations that have influenced how they think about leadership.

They also introduce a new framework that will quietly guide future episodes, Forward Management. With segments based on creation, cultivation, and affirmation, listeners can zero in on how leaders build culture, sustain it, and celebrate the people inside it. – One Question Leadership Podcast – Tai M.
