This is Cody Thompson with a quick note for the listeners.

What you're about to listen to is a new segment that Pat and I are doing called Sports Culture.

For now it's going to live in the At The Table Feed, but eventually it will move over to its own feed for people who enjoy the content

and want more. Thanks for listening. Welcome to our first ever episode of our new podcast called Sports Culture.

It's related to At the Table with Patrick Linconey,

but this is a weekly report we're going to do focused on the world of sports

and how it relates to teamwork and

organizational health. I'm joined here by my host

Cody Thompson. How's it going Pat?

And the head of consulting at the table group, Jeff Gibson.

Good afternoon.

And our engineer Connor.

Hello Connor says and we have a lot to talk about today. Let me tell you this came

about because a number of people recommended that we do something related to sports

and I initially didn't want to

because I think sports is probably overvalued in our society and talked about too much.

However, it does bring about a lot of interesting topics related to teamwork and culture and provides a fantastic example that most people can relate to

so we decided to go ahead and give it a shot. Yeah I mean we just started another podcast

of you know five episodes ago so why not

start another one when you came to me with this I was like sports and we don't

have to talk about all those books you wrote yeah sure let's do this exactly and well

and we did our first sports podcast about Andrew Luck a week or so ago.
