Greg Lyons posted thisIn film, games, and emerging media, leaders rarely have complete information. I see a lot of leadership advice that assumes stable conditions. Clear roadmaps. Predictable teams. Locked budgets. That’s not how it actually works...especially right now. Leaders have a responsibility to keep momentum alive in the face of uncertainty. Waiting for certainty feels like the responsible thing. But often, it’s the thing that stalls a team. If you’re leading in flux, the question isn’t “Do I have all the answers?” It’s “What decision moves us forward today?”

Greg Lyons shared this“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A powerful reminder from Dr. King about self-reflection and service. In our work. In our leadership. In our daily interactions. Are we: • Shining light in dark places? • Creating opportunity? • Lifting others up? • Using our influence to serve—not just succeed? I’m reminded today that progress doesn’t come from good intentions alone. It comes from daily choices. Especially the quiet ones no one sees. This year, I want to be more intentional about how I show up, who I advocate for, and how I use whatever influence I’ve been given. Service is the truest measure of impact.

Greg Lyons shared thisA few years ago, Indiana was the losingest program in college football history. A week from today, they’re playing for the National Championship. Indiana football’s turnaround is a case study every organization should study. Leadership. Clear standards. Relentless execution. Never satisfied. No shortcuts. No magic formula. Culture cannot be faked. Just doing the basics at an elite level—consistently. Culture compounds. Performance follows.

Greg Lyons shared thisFaith over fear. Fear is loud—and it spreads fast. But just because fear dominates our feeds doesn’t mean it deserves to guide our decisions. Faith doesn’t deny reality. It reframes it. It helps us lead instead of react. Act with integrity when others don't Build instead of freeze. Stay grounded when uncertainty is unavoidable. Choosing faith over fear isn’t passive or naive. It’s intentional. And sometimes, it’s an act of courage. Be courageous. Be kind. Believe in yourself. Keep the faith.

Greg Lyons posted thisHappy New Year! Wishing everyone a great start to 2026. As I enter this year, I’m choosing to focus on gratitude and positivity. There’s no shortage of hard things right now. 2025 was a tough year for many—especially in the job market. Layoffs, furloughs, and hiring freezes dominated the headlines. Add in fears around AI, global conflict, and unchecked greed, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But perspective matters. What we choose to focus on shapes how we experience the world. If we fixate only on what’s broken, that’s all we’ll see. When we intentionally look for the good—the progress, the kindness, the opportunities—we begin to see more of it. You tend to find what you’re looking for. Your focus helps determine your reality. Here’s to a year of gratitude, clarity, and choosing to see the good.

Greg Lyons shared this🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! Sharing one of my favorite versions of the National Anthem today as a reminder of the values that bring us together. It’s easy to focus on what divides us—media and politics often amplify those differences. But at the heart of it, we’re all in this together. Let’s choose to see the best in one another, show kindness, and lead with love. Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day!

Greg Lyons reacted on thisGreg Lyons reacted on thisI want to start by saying how much I love the animation industry. I still watch it, I still follow the artists and studios behind it, and I remain endlessly inspired by the work being created. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to play even a small part in its story, and to spend more than 30 years working alongside some of the most talented, passionate people in our field. So often, it felt like we were all just a group of kids trying to prove we belonged, determined to leave our mark before our time was done. As many of you know, I finished my role as Chairman of Jam Filled in December, and now, my time as Sr Advisor has come to a close. I leave behind a team that always fought to put the best possible work on screen. If you ever have the chance to work with them, do it. They won’t let you down. This is a sincere thank you to everyone who gave me their time, their advice, and the opportunity to work together over the years. You know who you are, and I’m deeply grateful to each of you. I’ve been inspired by so many people in this industry, and I’ve done my best to carry that forward for others along the way. I hope our paths cross again. I’ve had the privilege of walking among giants in this field—and in many cases, calling you my friends. As I step into this next chapter, my goal is to keep giving back: to advocate for artists, schools, studios, and the future of this industry through Cartoon North and through my work as a consultant. Keep telling your stories and bringing them to life. I’ll be there, grateful to experience them, and proud to share them with others. See you along the way.

Greg Lyons liked thisGreg Lyons liked thisOne of the parts of my work I value most is walking alongside families as they think through generosity and the kind of impact it can have over time. Those conversations often move beyond how much to give and toward how to give with purpose and clarity. That��s one reason I’ve been encouraged by Blue Trust’s partnership with Solving the World’s Greatest Problems as a co-founder of the Evangelism Fund. The fund is designed to support ministries faithfully sharing the Gospel, while also helping people connect to discipleship and the local church around the world. If thoughtful, intentional generosity is something you’ve been considering, I’m always glad to talk through how opportunities like this fit within a broader plan. #bluetrust #evangelismfund #swgp

Greg Lyons liked thisGreg Lyons liked thisAs my 40 years at praisefm came to a close in December, and my new role with my book Looking For The One began on January 1, I am deeply grateful for your prayers. These past few weeks have been filled with speaking opportunities, interviews, and encouraging stories of people sharing Jesus for the first time! This past week included interviews with Moody Broadcasting and CBN. I’m grateful for every opportunity to invite people to go looking for the one with Jesus. Here is the link to the CBN interview. https://lnkd.in/gTpc4nee

Greg Lyons liked thisGreg Lyons liked thisIn this week's Tempus Divum... Join us on the Imladris Discord server where we will be talking about the most central of all Christian doctrines: The Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Come and join us! ----- Tempus Divum - Wednesdays @ 9:30am Pacific on Discord Every Wednesday morning, we'll be gathering on our Discord server for a deep and thoughtful exercise in spiritual formation with the gamer and game dev in mind. “Tempus Divum,” or “Divine Time,” is a way to support each other in our spiritual growth and connect as a community. Each week involves some kind of worship or meditative music, prayer, as well as something to challenge or educate us: a video, podcast, or sermon on a meaningful topic that we discuss together afterward. Tempus Divum moves through a two year course where Year 1 is all about Invitation including topics like: The Epic Story, Spiritual Beings, Signs and Wonders, A Reliable Bible, Hearing God’s Voice, The Fall and Sin plus special calendar-sensitive topics like The Incarnation, The Ascension, The Second Coming and more. Many folks come away from Tempus Divum saying "I never knew that was in the Bible..." so let's study together. If you're interested in joining our weekly Tempus Divum study, head on over to https://lnkd.in/gN5wjcmK to get invited to the Imladris Discord server.

Greg Lyons reacted on thisGreg Lyons reacted on thisAfter 34+ years in games or adjacent, it's time to hang up my spurs and try this retirement thing. I'm not planning to try to find another job in game development; I'm enjoying my ventures into academia and may look for something part-time to keep a little cash coming in, but nothing in games. It's been a wild ride with some ups and a lot of downs - but at least I didn't spend my career trapped in corporate culture (tried it briefly, didn't care for it). One big change I will be making as a result of this decision is that I will be spending a LOT less time on LinkedIn - I'll still get notifications, but will be crossing the LI doomscrolling off my list of daily activities. Good luck to those still trying to make a go of it, despite these troubled times.
