The Architect Returns: Dorian Albritton Jr. on Building The Interview Sessions & Thinking Like a Leader
🏆 SPORTS CHASERS PODCAST | THE INTERVIEW SESSIONS — EP. 487
He created the format. Now he's IN the seat.
Dorian Albritton Jr. — the former Super Producer of Sports Chasers Media Group and the architect behind The Interview Sessions — joins host Kevin L. Warren for a conversation that goes far deeper than sports. This one is personal. This one is about legacy, leadership, and what it truly means to think like a leader before you ever carry the title.
Dorian Jr. was the creative force behind the one-on-one interview format that has now produced 100+ conversations, replacing the large live panel model with something far more intentional and intimate. Now, as a master's student in Industrial-Organizational Psychology at George Mason University and host of the Think Like a Leader podcast, he's building his next chapter — one framework, one system, and one leader at a time.
🎧 IN THIS EPISODE:
→ The origin story of The Interview Sessions — straight from the man who built it
→ Growing up in the Bronx, relocating to North Carolina, and navigating two worlds
→ His basketball journey from Davidson Day through VMI, King University, and UNC Charlotte
→ Why he left Sports Chasers and what purpose he found on the other side
→ The Think Like a Leader podcast — mission, message, and who it's built for
→ The Four Ds Framework: Do, Date, Delegate, Delete
→ Self-trust vs. self-awareness — and which one actually moves the needle
→ How weekly resets and Notion eliminate mental overload
→ Leading before the title — and what that really requires
→ The father-son dynamic with Dorian Albritton Sr. — "The D.A." himself
→ A Rapid Fire Round that gets raw and real fast
📌 HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER — MUST LISTEN:
⏱️ 26:21 — Lead Before The Title
This is the moment that defines the entire episode. Dorian Jr. shares the workplace story that rewired his entire understanding of leadership — the difference between a manager and a true leader — and why humanity in management is the most underrated skill in the game.
