For the third time in the last four years, Mike White has led Texas softball to the Women’s College World Series championship series. The questions remain whether the Longhorns, who are back in the best-of-three championship series for the first time in back-to-back seasons, can succeed where previous teams have largely failed. Texas was swept in each of its previous two appearances, losing by an aggregate score of 26-6 and 16-7 against Oklahoma in 2022 and 2024, respectively.

Not every public apology from a CEO resonates — which is why a recent memo from Poshmark founder Manish Chandra stands out, says a leadership expert.
