Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with Greg Randolph, host of the Heroes and Icons podcast, to discuss the importance of mentorship, leadership, and the balance between perception and reality. We touch on the lessons I learned from legendary sports agent Leigh Steinberg, including how venture capital and technology shaped my career. I also share insights from my partnership with Warren Moon, who helped break the color barrier in football and continues to inspire. We explore the power of repetition in teaching, coaching, and mentoring, and why it’s essential to choose advice carefully, based on situational knowledge, to avoid being held back by ego.
