Welcome to John Gordon's Positive University podcast. My name is Daniel Decker. I'm the co-host of

Positive U. On today's episode, John talks with Mike Levine. He's the co-head of sports at CAA, one of the largest and most

dominant talent and sports agencies in the world. Mike, also known as Vino, is a pioneer

visionary and leader whose innovative marketing deals and acquisitions of top talent

have helped CAA sports achieve phenomenal success.

And on a personal note, Mike was John's teammate on the Cornell lacrosse team, and they've known each other since they were 18 years old.

So some good banter between these two guys on this episode as well.

During this interview, Mike shares about his rise, becoming one of the most influential guys in sports,

what it takes to succeed at a high level, and what he's learned along the way.

Mike is a guy who takes action, and that's a big aspect of progress and success.
