Summary
Legendary sportscaster Chris Myers has been the voice behind some of the biggest moments in sports — from Super Bowls and World Series to the Olympics and beyond. But in this episode of INDUSTRY STANDARD, he opens up like never before. Chris takes us behind the mic and into the pressure of national broadcasts, recounting what it felt like to freeze on-air during the Super Bowl with 100 million people watching — and how he bounced back.He also shares deeply personal moments, including the heartbreaking loss of his son and the strength it took to keep moving forward. From his first-hand take on the Luka Doncic trade to the unforgettable post-Super Bowl interviews with legends like Mahomes and Reid, this conversation is a rare mix of vulnerability, wisdom, and true behind-the-scenes stories from decades at the top of the game. Whether you're a die-hard sports fan or just someone who’s faced pressure, grief, or the fear of failure — this episode will hit home.
