Guest Ryan Peck, TCU
24:19 min watch

Summary

TCU Senior Deputy AD for External Affairs/Revenue Generation Ryan Peck sits down with ADU’s Tai M. Brown at the 2024 PacNET Conference to discuss his piece “The Sports Biz Career Plan” and reflect on his own journey to a senior leadership role. Peck and Brown go through the main recommendations from the “Career Plan,” including the importance of defining your core values and assessing the landscape of opportunities with that lens; the necessity of having advocates and mentors along the journey; and how getting clear with your story, including the weaknesses or gaps in your knowledge and experience, is a key to getting ahead.

  • - Where is the leadership training when you are fundraising?
  • - What revelations did you have when you first began leading a team?
  • - Walk me through your decision to move from North Texas to TCU and elaborate on a document you created called "The Sports Biz Career Plan."
  • - What were the internal factors that drove you to make a career move and how did those change throughout your journey?
  • - The first point in this document is "Plan, Execute, Ask For Help." You have some questions in here - "What is your dream job? What are the regions where you want to live?" Tell me why that's the starting point for you.
  • - The next point you have here is "Self-Evaluation" and introspection - tell me about that aspect of the plan.
  • - When in the journey did you discover your personal set of core values?
  • - How do you define passion and purpose in the context of making a decision for you and your family?
  • - Tell me about the aspect of executing and the metrics you develop to determine if you're doing the right things to get you where you want to be.
  • - The last aspect here is "Asking For Help" - expound upon that.
  • - Are there other avenues you pursue from a leadership education standpoint? Is there anything else you do to continue learning?
  • - The last sub-title is "Your Big Life Plan" and I imagine this move to TCU was part of that plan. Give me a summary of what this means.
