He explains why many athletes struggle financially after retirement, highlighting how sudden wealth, performance-driven identity, and constant comparison can push high earners toward unnecessary risks. Chris breaks down the importance of focusing on consistent “singles and doubles” in investing rather than chasing home runs, and how mistakes helped him develop a disciplined framework for evaluating opportunities. He also reveals why character, deal structure, and risk management are the most important factors when deciding where—and who—to invest with. ➡️ Show Links https://successstorypodcast.com YouTube: https://youtu.be/fFghPKvKRcQ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chris-pronger-hockey-hall-of-famer-entrepreneur-what/id1484783544 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/49MfakctmDuGs4uQEjPVTx ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary
