Let's Talk Culture with Super Bowl Champion and Chief Culture Officer, Ben Utecht In this #PoisedforExit episode I had the distinct honor of interviewing Ben Utecht, who's not only a Super Bowl Champion with the Indianapolis Colts, but also a winner of the Tony Dungy Award for Servant Leadership and now works as Chief Culture Officer for several mid-size firms, including my sponsor, Sunbelt Business Advisors and True North M & A. After Ben shared how he got his start in professional sports, we talked primarily about how a company's culture can affect far more than the internal team. Namely, how it can positively or negatively affect the business value as well as its impact on a future acquisition or merger.Ben is involved in several endeavors, all revolving around the development of company culture. He said that his training with Tony Dungy taught him the value of serving other's needs before your own, which drew him to work in the space. His process starts with determining 3 things within a company's philosophy:What you BelieveWhy you Believe itHow you BehaveThe last is driven by the first two. If an owner isn't finding the results or productivity they really need and want in their team, it's probably time to assess company beliefs. And, speaking of assessments, Ben has you covered. He's part owner of a firm called Behavioral Essentials that produces assessments for companies looking to foster the growth potential in their people and in their culture. Ben said Culture is often an overlooked driver of enterprise value, yet it can greatly impact the success of a merger, acquisition or growth strategy. One thing Ben said is that sports and business have many parallels. But what really struck me, was how he compared their approach to ‘practice'. In sports, he said it's 95% practice and 5% performance. In business, it's 95% performance and 5% practice (as in personal growth, professional development and learning). Wow, that says a lot, doesn't it?!You can listen to this awesome interview now.Find Ben here: https://benutechtspeaks.com/ or https://www.linkedin.com/in/benutecht/Find Julie here.

We also talk about the Novak Djokovic DQ and how impressed we are with how BYU has handled college football.
Ben played 6 seasons in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts, and Cincinnati Bengals. He grew up a hockey fan, which is big in his home state of Minnesota. However, football was his best opportunity to play at the professional level. He went to the University of Minnesota where he excelled as a player. Destined for the 1st round of the NFL draft, an injury almost ended his pro aspirations. Tony Dungy met him at an event, and promised to take a shot on him. He fulfilled his promise and led to Ben eventually becoming a pro with the Colts. He won a Super Bowl with the Colts in 2006 and had an accomplished career. He started thinking of life after football near the end of his career and started his singing career while still playing. He is now a part of the international group "Reborn" with Mark Masri & Andre Venter, and have just released a new album which is available on iTunes.

The sport of professional football is a spectacular spectacle. Every Sunday throughout football season, 53 highly-conditioned athletes take the field, battling against an opposing 53-man machine for the right to be crowned victorious. These players have honed their skills over decades of practice and intense training, meeting head-to-head – often literally – to assert their dominance in every aspect of competition. It is truly America's game, but what is the cost of such a sensational show? Recently, a neuropathologist examined the brains of 111 former NFL players. Of those 111 specimens, 110 were found to have chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E. Despite this incriminating evidence, however, the NFL has never been more popular or financially successful. Even the leagues commissioner has downplayed the study, stating that “the average NFL player lives five years longer than you, so their lifespan is actually longer and healthier. And I think because of all the advancements -- including the medical care -- that number is going to even increase for them.” Is the NFL attempting to mask a dark reality facing the athletes we adore? What is the reality facing the players so many people cheer on every week? Can anything be done to prevent further damage to those players? Should we allow our own children to play the violent game that's offered by so many programs throughout adolescence? What are the risks associated with playing football? And, as players continue to grow larger, faster and more powerful, what does the future of football look like? As the NFL season gets into full swing, we sat down with the Dean of PNWU's College of Osteopathic Medicine Dr. Thomas Scandalis, our Associate Dean for Pre-Clinical Education Dr. Robert Sorrells and former NFL tight end, Super Bowl champion and author of “Counting the Days While My Mind Slips Away,” Ben Utecht, to discuss C.T.E., the sport of football and the reality behind what is occurring below the helmets we dedicate our Sunday's to.
