56 Years, One Rule: Adapt or Die: Lin Dunn, Women's Hall of Fame Basketball Coach
Fifty-six years in one profession will teach you two things: how to win and how to adapt. Lin Dunn has done both. And she'll tell you the second one is what makes the first one possible.
Dunn founded women's athletics at Austin Peay in 1970, led Purdue to a Final Four, became the first head coach and general manager of the WNBA's Seattle Storm, won a championship as head coach of the Indiana Fever in 2012, and was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2014. But this conversation isn't really about basketball, it's really about the discipline of never being done learning, and what happens to leaders who mistake experience for expertise.
In this conversation with ReliaQuest Director of Performance Derin McMains, you'll also hear Lin discuss:
- Delegate the paperwork. Prioritize the people work.
- Every leader needs a board of truth-tellers.
- Culture fit outlasts raw talent.
About ReliaQuest
ReliaQuest is an agentic AI cybersecurity company whose platform, GreyMatter, serves as the Agentic Defense for the enterprise—defending organizations against AI-accelerated attacks. Any defender can harness that AI to detect threats, run investigations, execute response, and hunt across their entire tech stack in plain language without requiring any tool expertise. GreyMatter makes this possible through three capabilities: the Universal Translator, which automatically normalizes telemetry across any vendor without data centralization; Detection at Source, at Storage, or in Transit, which catches threats where data lives or as it moves before it is ever indexed, parsed, or stored; and Agentic Orchestration, which combines a natural language operating layer, multiple autonomous agentic systems, and an AI Model Broker that continuously selects the best model for every task based on speed, cost, and accuracy. GreyMatter enables organizations to re-architect their security environment for speed, efficiency, and cost control. ReliaQuest has been making security possible since 2007.
