Episode 31 – Eric Curry: The Call That Matters Most

Dad. Executive. NCAA Men’s Basketball Official. Friend.

In this episode of The Most Important Podcast Ever with BJD, Brian sits down with his friend Eric Curry — a devoted father, accomplished business executive, and respected NCAA Men’s Basketball official.

Eric has made thousands of calls on the court and countless decisions in the boardroom, but he’s quick to remind us that the most important role he’s ever had is being a dad. Through stories that span family, leadership, and life under pressure, Eric reflects on what it means to stay grounded, lead with integrity, and bring your best self to every arena you step into.

And in one of the episode’s most moving moments, Eric shares the remarkable story of finding his biological mother — a story of identity, grace, and the power of connection that reminds us what truly matters.

This is a conversation about fatherhood, friendship, and the softer side of leadership — and why, in the end, the call that matters most is the one that brings you home.
