Welcome to Entrepreneurs of Playbook.

I'm David Meltzer.

We're here live at the PAC event, the pro-athlete community event.

And I have an extraordinary entrepreneur with me, the founder and CEO of Vestable,

the incredible Parker Graham.

Welcome to the Playbook.

Thank you, David.

I appreciate the opportunity to be here.

Oh, it's going to be awesome.

So, you know, a lot of people don't realize

that there's no real transition in life. I call it expansion. And when I see the course of

progress that mostly athletes make in business, I identify skills that they have, knowledge that they gained, and utilizing that desire that it took to be a great athlete.

Yeah.

Because every great athlete has to have a desire that they must be what they can be, or there's no way they'll make it.

For you, you have a great financial background.

And with that comes skills that a lot of athletes don't develop.

In fact, I think it's one of the atrocities of playing sports is that we don't learn the basics.

I mean, it's bad enough in America.

Most kids don't learn the basics anyway.

But athletes are impeded against those basics.

And then they're forced in a situation where they have so much money.

And that's why history and human nature has created the deficit and the losses that have occurred in all levels of athletes.
