What's in a Name? | Ep 3

In this episode of Run to the Huddle, Dr. Bryan Wright opens up about the story behind the podcast’s name and the deeper meaning it carries for him as a leader, father, and entrepreneur. He shares the influence of his father’s wisdom on the basketball court, the lessons he learned from setbacks in judo as a child, and how moments of challenge shape the way we show up in life. Bryan explains why intention matters more than intensity, how running to the huddle sets the tone for victory, and why our mindset defines whether we act as a thermometer reacting to circumstances or as a thermostat setting the environment. Along the way, he draws inspiration from Kobe Bryant’s leadership with the Redeem Team and connects these insights to business, family, and the way we live with purpose. This conversation is an invitation to embrace discomfort, lean into growth, and finish life’s game with energy, joy, and legacy.
