In this episode of the Crown Refs Podcast, we sit down with Ken Joslin, a former NCAA women’s basketball referee and college baseball umpire who transitioned from officiating to becoming a top entrepreneur, speaker, and coach. Ken shares his inspiring journey through the officiating ranks, including his pivotal moment at an SEC/ACC umpire camp, where he was told that in order to reach the next level, he needed to lose weight. That feedback sparked a transformative journey, leading him to lose 100 pounds and ultimately shift his focus to business and leadership. While he stepped away from officiating, the lessons he learned on the court and the field—communication, composure, and decision-making—became foundational to his success in the business world.
Now, as the CEO of GROW STACK DRIVE and the creator of the CREATE Conference, Ken helps faith-based entrepreneurs build confidence, gain clarity, and create a powerful network. He’s shared stages with top leaders like John Maxwell and Grant Cardone, and his As The Leader Grows podcast and best-selling book have impacted thousands. In this episode, Ken offers valuable insights for referees looking to elevate their mindset, develop leadership skills, and create opportunities beyond officiating. Whether you’re chasing your next playoff assignment or thinking about life after refereeing, Ken’s wisdom on personal development and success will leave you motivated to level up.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
