In this week's Let Them Lead podcast, John Bacon and WTKA's Sam Webb discuss Michigan State University football coach Mel Tucker, who has been accused by sexual assault prevention leader Brenda Tracy of engaging in unwanted phone sex, thoughTucker claims it was consensual. The story raises more questions than answers. Can MSU fire Tucker, even if his claim is true? Who knew what at MSU, and when? Who leaked Tracy's name to the media, and why? And most important, from a leadership point of view: could MSU have avoided this mess, and how should MSU handle it going forward? Join for a timely conversation.

Scott Miller | What Makes Great Leaders and Mentors
Scott Miller learned worked under leadership legend Stephen Covey, author of the classic “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.” But Scott has become a leader in his own right, writing 7 books, including his latest, “The Ultimate Guide to Mentorship,” while producing his popular podcast and columns. His insights are unconventional, funny, irreverent, and bold, including this: Not everyone should be a leader, and it’s a mistake to push them to do so.
In this fun, fast moving 30 minute conversation, Scott discusses what he learned from Stephen Covey, “a man who not only knew his strengths, but his weaknesses. He also underscored the difference between being efficient and being effective,” and the gist of his books “Management Mess to Leadership Success” and “Everyone Deserves a Great Manager,” and his latest hit, “The Ultimate Guide to Mentorship.”
“In great companies, it’s not a democracy,” he says. “The leader has to make the final decision. But she has to listen, too. This is 2023. People no longer want to work for the ‘smartest guy in the room.’ They want to be heard, they want to be part of something.
“Stephen Covey often said, ‘When you’re working with people, fast is slow, and slow is fast.’ Take the time to hear them out. That’s how you get buy-in.”

Matt Maasdam, Navy SEAL Part 1
Matt Maasdam, a Navy SEAL for 20 years, the SEAL training program’s head instructor, and for 2.5 years, the carrier of the President’s ‘nuclear football,’ is so good in this interview that we broke it up into two episodes: Part I: Training the SEALS, and Part II: Carrying the Nuclear Football.
In Part I, Maasdam recounts his journey: after winning a Nebraska state championship in swimming, he became a University of Michigan water polo player, then trained 18 months to prepare for the Navy SEAL’s unbelievably demanding test, which he describes in amazing detail. After seeing combat in Afghanistan, including capturing high-ranking Al Qaeda leaders, he returned to lead SEAL training as the head instructor, including the famous ‘Hell Week.’
Along the way he tells us several unforgettable stories, and explains how the tests were designed to reduce the pool to 30-percent of those who start, and on what basis: not merely physical prowess, but uncommon mental toughness, with an unshakeable commitment to the team, at all costs, and the highest ethical standards. One lie, for example, and you’re done.
Join us for an incredible conversation, a peek into a world few ever see.
