What does it take to stay in the game when life doesn't go your way? In this engaging and deeply personal conversation, Space In Between host Leigh Morgan welcomes back longtime friend, former tech CEO, author, TEDx speaker, and fellow Duke University athlete Everett Harper for a conversation that begins on the playing field—but quickly expands into leadership, resilience, and what it means to stay connected in turbulent times.

Drawing on stories from their years competing at Duke—Everett as a national championship soccer player and Leigh as a standout point guard for the Blue Devils—they revisit memorable victories, painful losses, difficult teammates, legendary competitors, and the coaches who shaped them. Together, they explore how the lessons learned in elite athletics continue to influence the way they lead organizations, navigate adversity, and show up for others.

At a time when many people feel exhausted by polarization, uncertainty, and declining trust, Leigh and Everett offer a refreshing reminder that resilience isn't a solo pursuit. Staying in the game requires agency, connection, humility, and the willingness to lean on teammates when the pressure is greatest. Through laughter, candid storytelling, and thoughtful reflection, they reveal why some of life's most enduring leadership lessons were learned long before either stepped into the executive suite.
