We survived another year… and somehow the podcast did too.

To kick off 2026, we’re doing a full, honest reset. In this episode, we talk through what actually grew Good Times, Bad Friends, the ideas and episodes that flopped hard, the guests and moments we forgot about, and the lessons we learned the long way.

We get into:

• Wins, failures, and unexpected surprises

• Episodes we thought would blow up (and didn’t)

• What we’d change if we were starting today

• Why consistency beat talent for us

• Why New Year’s resolutions feel broken

• What’s changing for the podcast in 2026

• How listeners can be more involved moving forward

No hype. No fake resolutions. Just real conversation and a look at where we’re headed next.

Kevin Herron has spent decades in high school athletics — as both a basketball coach and an athletic director — but the lessons that matter most had nothing to do with wins or losses.

With over 435 career wins and 15 years as an AD, Kevin joins Good Times, Bad Friends to talk about what actually lasts: culture, leadership, faith, and the impact coaches have long after the season ends.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• Why the scoreboard doesn’t tell the full story

• What most coaches get wrong about building culture

• Why former players calling years later matters more than trophies

• How faith quietly shapes leadership without being forced

• The difference between being a lighthouse — or just another wave

This episode is for coaches, parents, leaders, and anyone trying to build something that outlives the moment.

🎙️ Good Times, Bad Friends is a podcast about real conversations, leadership, faith, and the stories that shape us.
