About this sermon
In this episode of the C3 Leadership Podcast, Pastor Ed Young sits down with Ryan Leak — speaker, author, and executive coach to NBA teams and Fortune 500 companies — for a story-filled conversation about failure, faith, and communication. Ryan shares how a viral same-day engagement and wedding led to a phone call from Kobe Bryant, why he emailed all 30 NBA teams for a real tryout, and what "chasing failure" taught him about resilience and beating the fear of failure. He and Ed swap stories from their basketball days, talk about growing up as pastors' kids, and dig into why the workplace is where Christians spend most of their lives — and the place they most often hide their faith. The back half is a masterclass in communication: how to prepare by studying your audience, why you should "preach to the back of the room," knowing your content and your crowd, giving people takeaways they can screenshot, and respecting their time. Plus a few tips on the right way to shoot a basketball. Subscribe for new C3 Podcast episodes.
