Episode 460: The Controversy Behind Art Briles Stadium

Ladies of Wealth with JJ Conway

Stephenville Texas Independent School District announced Friday that their new stadium will be named after controversial coach Art Briles.

JJ discusses

• The controversy surrounding the naming and why local residents choose to focus on the good Coach Briles brought to the community
• Why her military background has primed her not to immediately jump to conclusions when someone is accused of scandous behavior,
• How lessons learned from this incident apply to YOU as you build your business empire.

Here are some articles regarding the naming:

JJ's final note:

YALL! I'm about to lose ALLL of my Stephenville business over this one b/c I'm pretty sure people are going to judge the podcast without actually listening to it. Maybe not all my business. Let's say 50%. Oh wait, 50% of zero is... wait for it... still zero. Yup, after 4 years I've had zero business in town.

And who knows?

Maybe after this someone will realize they need a voice like mine to help be that "kick in the pants" they need to finally get their money straight. And then I'll actually have some business here in town. If that's you, and you'd like to enquire about my services, please book a no-cost session with me at https://calendly.com/jjconway/discovery
