[3:12] Ryan Harris became a Super Bowl Champion after winning Super Bowl 50 in 2015 with the Denver Broncos. He retired in 2016. [3:21] Beyond the field, Ryan has continued to work to win. For his contributions to Denver's business community, Ryan was the First African American to be awarded Colorado Sportscaster of the Year in 2020. [3:33] Ryan was also named to Denver Business Journal's 40 under 40 class of 2021. He is an analyst for his alma mater, Notre Dame. [3:42] On May 6th, Ryan Harris will be a mainstage speaker at RISKWORLD in Chicago where he will discuss transformative "5 Components of Championship Leadership," emphasizing how the direction from which leaders operate shapes their effectiveness. [3:58] We're going to have so much fun speaking to Ryan, and we might even get his predictions on Super Bowl LIX. Let's get to it! [4:06] Interview! Super Bowl L Champion, and RISKWORLD 2025 Keynote Speaker, Ryan Harris, welcome to RIMScast! [4:18] Ryan Harris is the first Super Bowl Champion to join us on RIMScast! Justin and Ryan are both big fans of the Buckhorn Exchange in Denver. [5:09] Ryan loves the idea of having people together at RISKWORLD 2025 to find groundbreaking solutions and try new things. That's how you win in football; that's how you win in life! Ryan looks forward to a convention of people looking for what's next with the skills they have now.  [5:32] Ryan says playing NFL football in Chicago was cold. He recalls that playing on Soldier Field feels like you're in a spaceship; the way the stadium bows out and comes right up is unique! [5:49] One of Ryan's favorite memories of playing against the Chicago Bears was when the Broncos beat the Bears in a tight game, the year the Broncos went to win the Super Bowl! It was an important win! [6:02] Ryan credits Head Coach Gary Kubiak for inspiring the team to win that day in Chicago by shortening team meetings from an hour to 15 minutes. So they kept the 15-minute meetings for the rest of the year and won the Super Bowl! Ryan loves going to Chicago. [5:38] Ryan had said that one of the things he was going to do after the Super Bowl was get into broadcasting. He didn't have to go to anybody else to make that happen. [6:55] Ryan says the plan starts with you! You need nothing outside of yourself to be great. You cannot expect other people to work harder for you and your goals. You're working toward them. [7:06] Ryan got his “doctorate” in Applied Football Mechanics and Theory. He went into broadcasting to use all that knowledge. He was selected by the NFL to go to a Broadcast Boot Camp and meet the best of the best in the broadcast industry. [7:20] On the last day, one of the presenters told them to go to their Alma Maters and work their way up. Ryan canceled his flight home, rented a car, and drove from that symposium to Notre Dame, and that's where he got his first broadcasting job. [7:34] Ryan says it started with him listening, taking action, and telling people what he wanted to do and how he wanted to get involved. You sometimes have to work for free to get started, and then you don't. [7:59] Everyone can sit on the couch and say they want to do something. The difference is the people who put their feet where they want to be. [8:04] At the Broadcast Boot Camp, Ryan saw an old college football rival. They hugged it out. The NFL is one big office building and there aren't a lot of chairs. Spend a couple of years there and you'll get to know a lot of people in the NFL and they'll get to know you. [8:31] Ryan is currently in law school. His “doctorate” is from “Peyton Manning University.” He had great “professors” like Ben Roethlisberger, Alex Smith, and Tim Tebow. He went through quite the school of football thought. [8:47] It's fun to have that knowledge, but it's useless as a father or a keynote speaker. He can't go hit people anymore. He had to change, and it's been fun doing that. [9:17] Ryan has a double major in Political Science, and Economics and Policy. From Political Science he learned that there are many ways to solve social problems. In economics, he learned that having two parents in your life puts you in the top 1% of opportunities in America. [9:51] There are key figures in your life or the education you receive that drastically change economic outcomes. What kinds of levers motivate people? There are many ways to do the same thing. It's a matter of degree and what fits the situation. [10:34] Ryan's advice on stories: 1. People remember the first 20 words you say. 2. Storytelling is more valuable than a Master's in Business Administration. [10:55] Start a story with a main theme. “We're going to talk about failure. This is a time I failed. On my sixth day in college football in training camp, I got knocked to the ground.” Our brains love tangible examples. Examples get people into the story. Then Ryan introduces the obstacle.  [11:18] “At one point in Kansas City, I wanted to quit.” He tells what he learned from it. He always brings a big idea that everybody understands and gives a concrete example from his life, what he said to himself, how he went through it, and what he learned from it. [11:45] When we can bring people into our story and talk about our failures and how we worked out of them, we help others and create impact. [12:14] Ryan attests that you don't win by ignoring the struggle. He speaks of factors of success and elements of success. Factors are things like having money and goods. Elements are things that have to happen for you to be successful. [12:30] Failure is an element of success! You have to fail to reach your highest potential. That's the only way it works. Any famous person or industry has had a failure or ten, along the way. We don't talk enough about our failures. Having a process for failure dictates your success. [13:05] Kickers in the NFL focus on process. Golfers focus on process. When you focus on the process, you reduce anxiety by 78%. You have the power to create the process for the failure you need. Then you start to have fun! [13:22] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! Resolver will be joining us on February 6th to discuss “4 Themes Shaping the Future of GRC in 2025”. [13:34] HUB International continues its Ready for Tomorrow Series with RIMS. On February 20th, they will host “Ready for the Unexpected? Strategies for Property Valuation, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity in 2025”. [13:50] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register.

Risk Management Roundup in San Antonio is set to unite the Texas RIMS Chapters and welcome risk professionals from around the world. [14:32] You can be a speaker.

[14:55] The deadline to submit your proposal is Monday, February 24th. The link to the event and the submission process is in this episode's show notes. Go check it out! [15:07] Let's Return to My Interview with Super Bowl 50 Champion and RISKWORLD 2025 Keynote, Ryan Harris!   [15:20] Ryan Harris had an NFL career of 10 years, about 300% longer than the average NFL career. Justin asks what lessons of his career apply themselves most to risk management. [15:43] Preparation is number one. What are you preparing for? When you're an NFL lineman you get prepared for different blitzes, an extra person who's going to come from a different place. The key to picking up the blitz is knowing it's coming. You anticipate it. [15:58] Anticipation is very big. Then take the space that you need. Ryan tells of introducing himself to Mark Cuban, as a fan, referring to a book about him. Don't hold back. Introduce yourself to people you want to meet. In the NFL, you learn you have to take action. [16:45] Go do it. You don't get to know if it's successful or not until the end. That's what Ryan loves bringing to people about the game of football. [17:22] If you are looking to transition from one career to another, 1. Find out how to listen with curiosity. You add value by being curious. 2. Ask “How” or “What” questions, not “Why” questions. 3. Follow up. Call or email. Do those three things and you are going to be successful. [18:47] Ryan Harris will bring his positivity to RISKWORLD. Positivity is one of the most important elements of success. Some hard experiences are a part of succeeding. Find a way to stay positive. It is so easy to be negative. Be positive and look at the obstacles in front of you. [19:36] Look at the things you can do with the skills you can add to be successful. The positivity keeps you moving faster in that direction. [19:59] What about injuries? Ryan Harris has had nine surgeries; four of them on his back! One time, walking to dinner, his body locked up, being so swollen from the impact in the game. [20:19] The biggest thing people miss about professional athletes is how they take care of their bodies. Ryan has been doing yoga for 17 years. The Kansas City Chiefs are on their way to their third straight Super Bowl. They've had yoga every Tuesday at their facility for the last 10 years. [20:46] If you want to know what the greats are doing, they're doing yoga. They start with yoga, a stretch, hydration, and nutrition to repair. All those things matter, but also the mindset they're in. Tell your body, I don't care how you feel right now, we've got to lift at 11:00. Then do it. [21:13] Find a way. Get the kinks out. It is mind over matter. [21:42] Ryan explains how he, as an offensive tackle, adjusted for a blitz. The key to being great is using all the information that's out there. We fail sometimes to realize the information that's at our fingertips because we're not even looking. [21:55] When Ryan was with the Kansas City Chiefs, his 8th year in the NFL, a coach taught him, “Ryan, that spacing doesn't make sense. What is the field telling you right now?” He had not looked up beyond the line. When he looked, he could see the safety positioned to blitz. [22:36] Ryan took it upon himself to get all the information he could before the snap. That made the play easier. He anticipated this guy going there, and he pushed him hard, helping his teammate. He was ready to attack the guy who was coming. That could apply to a sales call. [22:54] Any situation you face will be easier if you gather all the information that's available about it. Make backup plans. [23:09] Ryan talks about entrepreneur Jesse Itzler. He went to Davos to sell hourly memberships on his airplane. He couldn't get in, but he found out everyone was going to one coffee shop for a muffin and coffee. On the last day, he bought all the muffins and sat in the corner. [23:27] Someone walked in for a muffin. The shopkeeper said he's got them over there. Jesse said, I've got a muffin for you, do you want it? That was his first sale. Do everything you can, take in all the information you can, and apply it strategically. [24:08] Ryan predicts the Kansas City Chiefs are going to win Super Bowl LIX. He believes their willingness is the highest. The number one thing you learn in winning a Super Bowl is you have to be willing, not perfect. Ryan says most people are unwilling to be imperfect to succeed. [24:23] The Kansas City Chiefs don't care what it looks like. They're willing to win the game with 13 seconds left on the clock or with five seconds left on the clock. [24:34] For those who will be watching as a casual spectator, look for somebody to make a mistake and see if they're strong enough to come back and make a play again. If you can find that person, that team is a likely winner. [24:51] Ryan, it's been such a pleasure to meet you today! I look forward to seeing you again in May. I'll be in the front, right there, waving to you! I'll try not to distract you too much, though! [24:58] Ryan says, “Please try, I'm used to it! I love you, Justin. Thanks for having me, my friend!” [25:04] Special thanks again to Super Bowl Champion and award-winning broadcaster,  Ryan Harris, for joining us here on RIMScast.

Plus, the boys recap a WILD weekend of college football, which included a 7-leg parlay hit for CP (no big deal), and victories for both Alex and Steve's Alma Maters.

When you own a sports marketing agency you have to stay up with the changing demographics of your target audience. In this weeks podcast, Zac Logsdon, founder of Old Hat Creative sports marketing agency, and I dig deep into today's sports audience, how to attract them to games, engage and grow with them. This is sports marketing. Thanks to our sponsors for this episode... Temple University's Master's Program!Hi everybody, I'm Brian Clapp Director of Content for WorkinSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcast…Could you imagine being five years out of college and starting your own sports marketing agency? Forget even being that specific – could you imagine being five years out of college and trying to run anything completely by yourself?I'll admit, I was totally co-dependent in my 20's. I needed someone else, thank you Sandy Malcolm if you are listening, to steer me, guide me through my career decisions, help me focus and understand the larger business around me.Not Zac Logsdon.This guy – that's my Jon Gruden impression, how was it? This guy, graduates from University of Oklahoma with a degree in advertising and starts working for a big advertising firm. I'm guessing he missed sports, so he left his big firm after two years and starts heading up the graphic design team for his Alma Maters athletic program.Three years later – eh, I think I can do this myself – let's start an agency from scratch.Are you insane?I've always thought I was a pretty motivated and confident dude, but I would not have had the ability to do what Zac Logsdon has. But then again, starting an agency isn't the same as owning a successful agency. Many go under in a short time frame… but not Zac's.Fast forward 17 years and not only is Old Hat Creative still thriving in the sports industry, working with college athletic programs across the country, but he's also written two books, hosts a podcast and every once in a while…sleeps.Here's the fun part – in this interview, we aren't just going down memory lane discussing how he got where he is, sure we'll do some of that, but primarily we're talking about the now. Understanding fan behavior, marketing to today's generation of sports fans, the direction of the sports industry and more…After this podcast is over, if you are anything like me, you'll probably subscribe to Zac's podcast Winning is not a strategy, and buy one of his books… I did, and I'm not great at endorsing competing podcasts…it takes a lot for me to tell all of you to listen to someone else so you know I mean it!Here's Zac Logsdon…Questions for Zac Logsdon, Old Hat Creative Sports Marketing Agency1: Before we get into the finer details of sports marketing, fan behavior and your career, we'll start with a little more of your personal story – the when and why.When did you figure out you wanted to get into the marketing side of sports… and why did this become your passion and goal?2: You were an advertising major and after graduating from University of Oklahoma started working at one of the largest advertising firms in the region – Ackerman McQueen – how much did this experience at a major firm help form you and your personality in marketing and advertising?3: Pretty quickly you turned that big firm experience into a role with the Oklahoma athletic department as Director of Graphic Design...and then wham, just 5 years after graduating college started your own marketing agency, Old Hat.How often did you cry yourself to sleep in the early days of starting your own agency?4: Getting clients I'd imagine has to be the hard part – what was your approach to getting and growing your client base? And did your Oklahoma connection kick things off?5: Marketing is such a broad term – there's the creative, the activation, the tracking and conversion, the communication and copy writing side – the list keeps going! In your experience, do you think it's better for someone to have a specialized focus and talent, or is it smarter to be a jack of all trades?

About the Author Phil “Buck” Knight is an American businessman and philanthropist. A native of Oregon, he is the co-founder and current Chairman Emeritus of Nike, Inc., and previously served as chairman and CEO of the company.  As of August 2018, Knight was ranked by Forbes as the 28th richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$34.7 billion. Knight is a graduate of the University of Oregon and Stanford Graduate School of Business.  He ran track under coach Bill Bowerman at the University of Oregon, with whom he would co-found Nike. A noted philanthropist, Knight has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to each of his Alma Maters, as well as Oregon Health &; Science University. In total, he has donated over $2 billion to the three institutions. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Knight About the Book Shoe Dog is the story of Nike. It’s the tale of a geeky track runner from Oregon (where nothing happens) who goes on a life changing trip around the world before returning home and shaping his career – first into a practicing accountant, then teaching before following his desires into a business that allowed him to combine his passion for running with his philosophy of work being fun (which he achieved by employing a number of his friends).  Before reading the book I knew very little about the origins of Nike and how for quite a long time, Phil Knight and the Nike team were US distributors for Onitsuka Tigers under the company name of Blue Ribbon Sports. In the book, Phil shares a lot on his personal philosophies, habits and values. Many of which formed his decision making over the years. BIG IDEA 1 (4:03) – Work should be fun. Throughout his life and career choices, Phil used the philosophy of work being fun.  This determined his career moves and important decisions between accounting, teaching and later in Blue Ribbon and Nike.  He employed most of the people he loved whilst building Nike, which helped make work more fun for him. He was also doing work aligned to his passions; shoes and running. BIG IDEA 2 (5:26) – A sense of adventure. Phil’s sense of adventure started when he traveled the world at 24. His travels taught him fundamental lessons and gave him experiences which he used throughout his life. It helped shape his values and sense of adventure which ultimately lead him to create Blue Ribbon and Nike.  Phil applied his sense of adventure in decision making around the companies growth, which leads us to… BIG IDEA 3 (6:29) – Just do it. This is about taking risks. He took the risks even during the challenges he faced whilst building Blue Ribbon and Nike; from working capital, sponsorship deals, supply, opening stores and growing the business (a regular manifesto from Phil was ‘grow or die’).  This is about the idea that it is better to regret what you did rather than the things you didn’t do.
