This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

What's up, everybody?

I'm Peanut Tillman, and this is the NFL player of second acts podcast.

And with me as always, as my trusty co-host, Mr. Roman Harper,

we're at Super Bowl or Midier O'Roe hanging out, putting on the show. I'm excited. This is our first day, full-time at the Media Row Day. It's, you know, I always enjoy just looking out here into the crowd and seeing who do I like, who's got the best outfit on, who's got the biggest entourage. I've not seen a big entourage today not yet not yet so i'm

looking forward to seeing who's going to be the guy or the gal with the biggest entourage all right our next

guest is a seven-year vet he played for tampa uh he played for detroit he is a super ball champion yes he is

he is the co-founder of next legacy ladies gentlemen please gentlemen, please welcome to the pod. Ryan Neese. Just go. Yo, thank you. Appreciate it, gentlemen. It's good energy in here today. I mean, you guys are starting it off right. I like that. You are first gas, boss. I know. He's set the eye on me. There's a lot of pressure. No, no. Zero pressure. You're going to rocket this And we're not going to come back down. All right. We're just going to stay up there. I'm going to set the bar then. So what's your favorite part about Super Bowl Week? I mean, it's a couple things. One, it's an annual reunion. Right? Every year you think about it, most industries in the world of business, they have an annual conference, say having the annual meeting. There's something that brings people back. This is our annual meeting. This is our annual

conference. And so to see current players, former players, to see executives, people in the media

world, people across the world of sports is always phenomenal to reconnect and catch up with

people you haven't seen since the previous year. How much business or work do you think you get done when you come here? Because I know you probably assume, okay, I want to try and get this, this and this, but you're an entrepreneur. You do a lot of different things that are on your resume. So like, how much work do you get done here? I get a lot. I get a lot done. I mean, because work is both art and science

and in the work that we do, obviously there's a science component and you got to spend time

digging in the numbers and evaluating and doing diligence and looking at opportunities, whether

that be a company or a fund. But then there's the art part, which is the human part. And so

that's the interaction and the ability to have discernment and spend time with people.

And oftentimes figuring out how to bring value to others.

And so this is a great place to bring value to people, to get to have generals, talk with generals to help facilitate the appropriate introductions.

And so we spend a lot of time trying to make sure

if folks have access to the appropriate people, the right people.

And then behind it, we spend a lot of time educating.

And you guys know this.
