Welcome to Entrepreneurs, the Playbook. I'm David Meltzer. I'm thrilled to be here at SoFi Stadium, the greatest stadium ever built.

Chris, Heatherton, by the way, that's why they kicked me off the board of the Rose Bowl.

I started saying that, and I didn't realize Rose Bowl is actually a competitor to SoFi.

And they're like, Dave, you can't be on the board of the Rose Bowl and tell everyone that Silfai is the greatest stadium ever built.

So sorry Rose Bowl and sorry Dave Belcher.

No offense to the MVP and board member Warren Moon, who still thinks the Rose Bowl is the greatest

place on earth, which is fair enough.

I am blessed to be here with the playbook because nobody has a better playbook, in my opinion, than guys

who have played on the field and have carried those lessons from the field into

entrepreneurship. And it's interesting, as an Ivy Leaguer, you are an academic, like myself.

The only difference was you were an academic and a great football player.

I was a below average college football player.

But I personally believe what I learned from playing football all those years has helped me

more than anything.

My law degree, business degree, all the great academic experiences I've had, don't, they pale in comparison to what I learned

on the football field.

I was wondering someone from the Ivy League, who's also an academic, how you comparatively

analyze what you learned on the field compared to the academic side in that experience,

how it's applied to what you're doing today.

Yeah, I mean, look, I went to Yale to be a student athlete first and was blessed enough to have the

opportunity to play professional football. And look, to your point, the things I learned from football

and team sports in general, the ultimate team sport, right?
