Leadership Tips from the Field with Coach Marc Albertson

In this special episode of The Profitability Podcast, Joey Albertson welcomes her husband Marc Albertson, head football coach at Jordan High School, for an insightful discussion about leadership that transcends the sports field. Marc shares how his leadership program transforms teenage athletes into well-rounded individuals by empowering them through a council system that teaches both vocal leadership and leadership through action. The conversation reveals surprising parallels between coaching a football team and running a business, with Marc's "allegory of the geese" highlighting how teams travel 75% further when working together in formation. The discussion explores how authentic leadership creates consistency, why titles alone don't make effective leaders, and what we can learn from Harriet Tubman's extraordinary example of leadership against all odds. Between nostalgic stories about how they met and playful banter with the podcast team, this episode delivers practical wisdom for anyone looking to build stronger teams, find joy in their work, and develop leadership skills that make a lasting impact.
