This episode is a conversation with R-Jay Barsh. I found this to be a conversation filled with generous silence. Coach Barsh explores his journey of listening to his own heart and own mind through silence and challenge, to ground and center in his gifts rather than chasing the perceptions of others. Along the way he highlights the power of feedback loops, laying your arrogance down, and empathetic listening.
R-Jay Barsh is an Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at Boise State University. Coach Barsh has been an assistant coach for the Broncos for 2 seasons, and Boise State is coming off a 19-win season with an appearance in the NIT. Prior to Boise State, Coach Barsh previously served as the head coach at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. While with SEU, Coach Barsh led the Fire to three NAIA Division II National Tournament appearances, including an NAIA Fab Four run.
