Dave Melzer here with another episode of the playbook.

I sat down with Ryan Leaf, my former number two draft pick in the NFL who dove deep into his playbook and shared about his most important daily affirmation.

The fine line between the lead athlete and an a-hole, and how focusing on money, power, and prestige

let him down the wrong path.

Stick around for all of that and more,

only on the playbook.

This is Entrepreneurs the Playbook,

where each week I bring you some of the greatest athletes,

celebrities, and entrepreneurs to talk about their

personal and professional playbook to success and what made them champions on the

field and in the boardroom.

I'm your host and CEO of Sports One Marketing,

David Melzer.

This Dave Melzer, CEO of Sports One Marketing

here with Entrepreneur The Playbook,

and I am thrilled to have Ryan Leaf with me.

And I think Ryan and I share similar life experiences together.

I've always felt, you know, from the time that I've met you, just this symbiotic nature because

we really, I think, have the ups and downs of life. I mean, obviously you're a superior athlete,

but as far as the other side of it I feel great synergy with.

Yeah I think that life in general is ups and downs.

It doesn't matter what background of anything.
