In this week’s episode, host Dani Raschel Chou sits down with Dr. Dallas Cothrum—CEO, former referee, and Dallas Morning News op/ed columnist—to explore what authentic leadership really looks like when pressure, people, and public opinion collide.
Raised inside a growing family business, Dallas learned early on what it means to nurture something bigger than yourself. Those experiences shaped not only his work ethic, but his belief that leaders must genuinely know and invest in their people if they want to build anything that lasts.
We dive into:
• Authenticity in leadership
• The lessons learned from growing up in a family-run business
• How refereeing prepared him for emotionally charged land-use projects and public scrutiny
• Understanding people’s emotions, especially when his columns or projects hit sensitive community issues
• Why a leader must know their people, and why employees thrive when they know each other
• Dallas’s commitment to an employee-first mindset, and how it shapes culture from the inside out
Whether you are an emerging leader, a seasoned executive, or someone navigating complex conversations at work, this episode offers grounded wisdom on leading with integrity, humanity, and courage.
If you’re ready to learn from one of DFW’s most respected voices in land use and leadership, this conversation is a must-listen.
