“I had to give up a whole childhood to be what I became.” Andre Ward With boxing headlines shaking up the sports world from big names retiring, to legends returning to fights drawing millions of views, we had to get some insight and who better to give us perspective than one of the greatest to ever do it. ..Andre Ward sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred for more than just a conversation about championships — it's a conversation of resilience, discipline, and evolution. In this powerful episode of The Pivot Podcast, the undefeated two-division world champion opens up about the journey from Oakland's toughest neighborhoods to Olympic gold and becoming one of boxing's pound-for-pound greats. Ward reflects on the sacrifices behind the spotlight, the mental warfare of elite competition, and what it really took to retire on top. But this isn't just about belts and legacy. Andre speaks candidly about his childhood, navigating instability at home, witnessing addiction up close, and how those early experiences shaped both his edge and his empathy. Sharing the deeply personal moments that exposed him to life or death experiences, Andre reveals the promise he made that turned his life around, leading him down a new path, one paved by faith. From his experiences, He dives deep into mental health — the pressures of perfection, the identity crisis that can follow retirement, and the importance of faith, structure, and accountability in sustaining long-term success. The conversation also explores fatherhood and parenting, with Ward sharing how breaking generational cycles became one of his greatest motivations. He discusses leadership inside his home, raising disciplined children in a distracted world, and redefining strength beyond the ring. From addiction and adversity to championships and clarity, this episode is about transformation. Andre Ward doesn't just talk about pivoting — he embodies it. A raw, honest, and inspiring discussion about purpose, pain, and what it means to win in life long after the final bell.

“We all signed up for the criticism, and will to take a bullet for our team, that's our job.” Bryce Young Fresh off a breakout playoff run with the Carolina Panthers, former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred for a deeply personal and one of his most reflective conversations yet. Bryce opens up about the pressure of being selected first overall in the NFL Draft, the early adversity he faced adjusting to the speed and complexity of the NFL as a business, and how criticism fueled his growth rather than defined him. From learning how to command a locker room to embracing failure as part of development, Bryce shares the pivotal moments that shaped his evolution from highly touted prospect to playoff quarterback. From a long drive Bryce never envisioned making to the lessons the rough roads taught him, the guys talk about the complexity of Dave Canales' play calling, Bryce's unique bond with Xavier Legette, support from Cam Newton and how the Panther faithful can be hard to navigate but worth the privilege of being the team leader. He also discusses the mental side of the game — staying grounded amid expectations, blocking out outside noise, and building resilience during tough stretches. The conversation dives into leadership, faith, preparation habits, and what it truly means to “earn it” at the highest level. Sharing a close bond with CJ Stroud, Bryce talks about CJ's strength and talent will put him back on track ignoring the noise of this past season. Honest, thoughtful, and poised beyond his years, Bryce reflects on what the playoff run taught him about trust, accountability, and belief — not just in football, but in himself.

“They would have had to cut my foot off before I didn't play in Super Bowl.” Nick Emmanwori They say Defense wins championships, and the Seattle Seahawks backed that statement up with one of the fiercest units! Keeping up Pivot tradition, we travled to the home of the world champions post Super Bowl to sit down with Nick Emmanwori, the Seattle Seahawks' rookie safety who defied the odds and finished his first NFL season on top of the league. Nick takes us inside an unforgettable year — from his Nigerian roots to being selected as the 35th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, to becoming an anchor of Seattle's defense and a key contributor to their championship run. We get into the biggest question looming Super Bowl week when a video of Nick surfaced not being able to walk as he opens up on the ankle injury scare heard round the football world as he shares missing the biggest game of his life was never an option and what he did to push through the unknown to stay locked in mentally and physically to help his team win the Lombardi. He takes Ryan, Channing and Fred into the locker room mentality to paint a picture of what Seattle truly built the past year and why he trusts a repeat is not off the table, recognizing all the pieces that need too fall in place to go back to back. Beyond the big game, we dive deep into the ups and downs of his rookie campaign, falling to the second round of draft and rebounding with the early-season growth that earned him Defensive Rookie of the Year buzz and how he battled adversity to find his confidence on the biggest stages. Relying on veteran leadership, Seattle's locker room bonded together on a mission to never let outside noise affect the team goal which created the NFL's No. 1 ranked defense, known as the "Dark side". He opens up about his bond with head coach Mike Macdonald and what he had to do to soak in all of the football knowledge to adapt to X & O schemes that elevated his play. Nick also opens up about the bond with Sam Darnold, whose own redemption arc culminated in a sturdy Super Bowl performance — proving that heart and leadership can outweigh the critics. The guys reflect on resilience, leadership, and the lessons learned in a season that none of his team will ever forget. And we couldn't not ask about the women in his life, from his mom's viral interview Super Bowl week to Dawn Stalely wearing his jersey to his girlfriend, Raven Johnson's unconditional support...this conversation covers it all. From draft dreams to the Lombardi Trophy, this is the inside story of a rookie who refused to be ordinary and a team that rewrote the championship narrative.

“I'm going to be the best basketball player I can ever be and I'm also going to be the best father that I can ever be.” Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred for a raw, wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond the headlines and boxscore. Tatum opens up about battling through injury, the moment he nearly walked away from the game, and the mental toll that comes with carrying expectations at the highest level. Recently returning to the court for rehab and light work, the 6x time NBA All Star and World Champion opens up on how the last year has been the toughest in his life, admitting self-doubt, questioning his will to heal and contemplating his return this season. Winning a title with Celtics etched his name in Boston royalty, although the high expectations still move him to chase the legends who've come before him while his focus remains on getting back to a championship. Jayson was upfront about working through past growing pains with Jaylen Brown, the pressures of being a face of the NBA and the three words Joe Mazzulla whispered to him during the biggest moments of their Championship run. A self-proclaimed mama's boy, he shares a deep understanding of sacrifice, hard work and how growing up with little motivated him being raised by a single mom but candidly he opens up on why he values the relationship with his father differently but still a bond he appreciates. With the anniversary of Kobe Bryant's passing, Jayson Tatum reveals how he was inspired by the icon and modeled his life based on certain experiences and explains why he is completely appalled with anyone questioning Kobe's contributions to the game. He reflects on representing Team USA in 2024 on the Olympic stage, what that experience taught him, his true in-the-moment feelings with Steve Kerr and how it reshaped his perspective as a leader but also as a man. From embracing the weight of Boston's historic legacy to navigating fatherhood while still chasing greatness, Tatum shares how his humble beginnings continue to ground him. Honest, reflective, and powerful—this is Jayson Tatum like you've never heard him before.

Before stepping onto the field for the AFC Championship, All-Pro Marcus Jones joins The Pivot Podcast for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about pressure, preparation, and purpose. Marcus breaks down what it really takes to perform when everything's at stake—mentally, physically, and emotionally. From his journey to this moment, to the mindset he's carrying into the biggest game of his career, nothing is off limits. He talks leadership, resilience, staying locked in through the noise, and what fuels him when the lights are brightest. Making history for the Patriots with an interception returned for a touchdown to help lead his team over the Houston Texans to land in the AFC championship, Marcus shares what it's like being underestimated as a defense, even calling out RC on his picks against them in a friendly banter egged on by Channing ofcourse! The guys talk about Cardi B's super fandom, Stefon Diggs' unique leadership qualities and how it's been building a team-first mentality under Coach Vrabel vs his rookie year lessons learned from Coach Belichick. Growing up in a military family that moved around, Marcus has had discipline at the core of everything he does as well as a family-first mentality, appreciating the sacrifices his father made for him and says becoming a young father himself, was pivotal, as he never wants to fail his son, who was recently diagnosed with Autism.

In This Episode A business doesn't become sellable at the moment you decide to exit—it becomes sellable years before that through intentional preparation. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Channing Hamlet about what truly determines whether a business can be sold at a premium. Channing outlines four critical areas owners must address early: personal clarity on exit goals, tax planning, personal financial planning, and business readiness. He emphasizes that exit preparation is not a last-minute decision, but a long-term strategy. Adi and Channing dive deeply into business readiness, focusing on transferability—the ability for a business to operate without undue risk once the owner exits. Channing explains how concentration risk, undocumented processes, and founder dependency all reduce buyer confidence and often force deal structures that delay or reduce payout. The conversation brings everything back to systems. Channing shares real-world examples of businesses that failed to sell because knowledge lived in one person's head, as well as companies that achieved premium outcomes by documenting processes, building teams, and engineering risk out of the business. The episode reinforces a key systems principle: the easier it is to transfer how the business runs, the more valuable it becomes.

MUSICThousands of people turned out for Bob Weir's memorial at the Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco on Saturday. Speakers included Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart, Joan Baez, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie.Poison's 40th Anniversary Tour is Off: Bret Michaels Wanted a Huge PaydayBad news for hair metal fans hoping to see Poison celebrate their big 4-0 this year: the tour has been scrapped.The band had been teasing a 40th-anniversary reunion for 2026, with frontman Bret Michaels previously hyping up a "perfect" 40-date run. But according to drummer Rikki Rockett, the plans fell apart at the negotiating table.The sticking point? Money. Rockett revealed that while he, guitarist C.C. DeVille, and bassist Bobby Dall were all ready to sign, Michaels demanded a much bigger slice of the pie. Specifically, Rockett claims Michaels wanted about 600% more than the rest of the band—essentially $6 for every $1 the others would make."You just can't work that way," Rockett said. He explained that while he loves playing, he doesn't want to work hard just to make someone else rich while he gets a fraction of the pay.Is there bad blood? Surprisingly, Rockett says no. He compared the situation to family, saying, "It's like hating your parents." He insists he isn't fighting with Michaels, they just couldn't agree on the business side of things.When asked if the band would consider touring with a replacement singer, Rockett shut it down, calling that a "last resort" and insisting there is no better frontman for Poison than Michaels.What now? For now, everyone is doing their own thing. Michaels has solo dates booked for 2026, and Rockett is touring with his side project, Rockett Mafia.Rockett did joke that maybe they'll try again next year, saying it would be a "perfect Poison folly" to do a 41st-anniversary tour instead.

Today on The Pivot Podcast, we're joined by one of the NFL's most dominant edge rushers — Brian Burns. Coming off a record-breaking season with the New York Giants, where he racked up 16.5 sacks — second most in the NFL behind Myles Garrett, Brian opens up about the defining moments of his career and the evolution of his game. He reflects on leaving the Carolina Panthers, what that transition meant personally and professionally, and how embracing change pushed him to another level. Brian opens up on his personal experience on the NFL being a business and no matter how many times you hear it, you don't truly know until you've gone through it and the impact of leaving a city he thought would be his career-home. Despite a record-setting year for Burns, the team success of Giants is something that weighs on him and is committed to turning his focus to building off the positives and has high hopes for what a new coach will add to the organization. From key veteran leadership to the electric play of quarterback Jaxon Dart, Brian believes New York's future is bright because of Dart's confidence, the skill level of offensive weapons, and young bulls like Adbul Carter being a fierce competitor with strong years ahead. Brian also gets candid about family, the role they've played in keeping him grounded, and how perspective off the field fuels excellence on it. From navigating expectations in a new city to discussing the future of the Giants, leadership, and legacy, this conversation goes far beyond stats and highlights. And of course, the guys have some laughs, as Channing knows Brian from the time he was a young boy living in south Florida as they exchange some stories of how Brian remembers Channing from back then haha. And that spirited love continues to now as Channing gets on him about having grown man hobbies vs the anime collection he boasts. This is an honest, insightful look into the mindset of an elite competitor — one who understands that growth, sacrifice, and purpose are just as important as production.

“Chasing greatness is grieving the person you once were.” Tyriq Withers Ryan, Channing and Fred chop it up with Tyriq Withers, a rising actor making his mark in Hollywood, for an honest conversation about perseverance, processing grief, risk taking and how his journey is proof that purpose doesn't always follow a straight line and what's meant to be will always be. The conversation starts off with a fun story of Tyriq, a Jacksonville native, sharing how his childhood idol was a FAMILIAR guest speaker he had as a kid in elementary school... one guess? And you already know Chan and RC had a field day with the age jokes of Freddy T being that guy 20+ years ago! A die-hard Jaguars fan excited for the playoffs, he also opens up on the special meaning behind wearing a custom made "144" Shedeur Sanders jersey and how the bible verse he had imprinted on the sleeve changed his thought process. Yes, his love of sports starts long ago and before stepping in front of the camera, Tyriq's first love was football as he walked on to Florida State where he was part of the Seminole team (along with Dalvin Cook and Derwin James) that won an Orange Bowl in 2016. Ball was his life and taught him discipline, resilience, and what it takes to perform under pressure. That foundation helped fuel his transition into acting, where he's now making waves starring in the upcoming film Him, along with roles in other notable projects. Tyriq breaks down his journey into acting, the sacrifices it took to chase his passion, and the mental resilience required to survive an industry built on rejection and uncertainty. From navigating auditions and staying grounded to defining success on his own terms, he shares what it really means to pivot when the path isn't guaranteed. He talks about what it was like working with Donald Glover, shares who is on-screen inspiration is and the full circle experience of learning from Marlon Wayans, who he admired growing up and then became a big brother to him during the filming of Him. But Marlon wasn't just an on-screen mentor, he also helped Tyriq navigate life during one of the darkest and difficult times after he lost his older brother unexpectedly and was met with a new wave of grief and responsibility he didn't know existed. Emotional and honest, Tyriq shares how he dealt with it while still being able to pursue his dreams and balance the success with managing deep pain. Pivoting from sports to Hollywood to betting on himself in an industry built on rejection, this episode takes a deep dive on staying grounded while navigating new levels of visibility and expectation. From embracing discomfort to redefining success beyond the scoreboard, this conversation goes deeper than credits and highlights. It's a powerful discussion about identity, faith, work ethic, and trusting the process — on and off the field.

"Don't confuse sacrifice and discipline with suffering." Ryan Clark Where did the time go? 2025 is wrapping up as we get ready to embrace the new endeavors, challenges and our biggest pivots that lie ahead in 2026! Ryan, Channing and Fred close out the year reflecting on the past 12 months of sports' biggest stories, headlines that dominated our feeds and personal milestones we embraced. We take account of our own self growth, missteps and ways we want to be better going forward knowing that perfection is an illusion, discipline and sacrifice are required for success and we take deep dive into the chaotic sports world. FBI takes on sports gambling, Luka trade to Dallas, Micah Parsons to Green Bay, Kansas City misses post season, Travis Kelce, Shedeur Sanders frenzy and the fall of Sean Diddy Combs...2025 had it's share of the unexpected and we discuss the impact of it all while the guys keep it real on the current state of the NFL. Channing says how the AFC North isn't what it used to be, Ryan says DK Metcalf incident could cost the Steelers their season and Fred weighs in on the possible end of the Chiefs dynasty. Pivoting to family, we talk about the vulnerable sides of parenting, from walking the line between wanting the best for our kids to pushing them too hard and how in the end happiness is the only true measure of how it turns out. Avoiding to set goals isn't always a bad thing while giving ourselves grace to make mistakes is how we've learned best. We also have a little fun talking about some viral fun scenarios and how we would respond to a wife's last wishes of a "casket pass".

From closing dinner conversations that changed his career trajectory to advising on transactions up to half a billion dollars, Channing Hamlet shares proven strategies for selling businesses at premium valuations through proper preparation, understanding sector-specific value drivers, and creative deal structures. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Channing Hamlet, Managing Director at Objective Investment Banking and Valuation, who has over 30 years of experience advising business owners on management issues, transaction execution, and business valuation. Channing's firm specializes in lower middle market transactions, typically ranging from $10-25 million up to $100-150 million in value. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover how buyer expectations have dramatically shifted over 25 years and why preparation requirements for premium valuations have intensified. Channing explains why clean accounting is no longer optional, how financial projections can make or break your valuation, and the three key value drivers beyond revenue and EBITDA. You'll also learn creative deal structures that can save transactions when traditional financing becomes challenging. CHANNING'S JOURNEY: Channing's path into dealmaking started at the family dinner table, where his father frequently hosted business visitors for dinner conversations about deals and transactions. His pivotal moment came while working at Legg Mason doing M&A, when a patriarch from a third-generation family business pulled him aside at a closing dinner and shared how much the work had changed his family's life. That moment hooked him on helping entrepreneurs and family businesses navigate successful exits. KEY INSIGHTS: In the mid-1990s, private equity firms paid four to six times EBITDA. Today, good companies sell for 10 to 14 times EBITDA, but buyers expect sellers to show up polished and prepared. Channing identifies three major value drivers beyond EBITDA. First, understanding what drives value in your specific sector. Second, building predictability through recurring revenue and systematized operations. Third, clearly articulating your differentiation and unique value proposition. Financial projections matter because selling takes approximately nine months, meaning buyers pay based on projected results, not historical performance. A last-minute budget won't stand up to scrutiny. Channing also shares a creative deal structure where seller financing at 10% interest saved a transaction when traditional bank financing fell through. Perfect for business owners considering an exit in the next 3-5 years, M&A advisors working with lower middle market companies, and anyone wanting to understand what truly drives premium valuations.

“If you get on cruise control and let everything start festering, it's gonna find a way to get out somehow…everybody makes mistakes, I made one and I apologized for it and moved on, and I'm better for it now.” Desmond Bane In one of the most authentic and real conversations we've had on The Pivot Podcast, Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder sit with Orlando Magic star Desmond Bane — a player whose journey is as powerful as his jump shot and deep roots that have grounded him since day one. With humility at his core in all he does, Bane's talents have often been overshadowed by his quiet demeanor but this off season his value was at the forefront, when Orlando traded for the young star solidifying his place as one of the top players in the NBA. Bane opens up about the early adversity that fueled his rise, the overlooked beginnings that pushed him to grind harder than the next guy, and the deep bond he built with Ja Morant in Memphis — a brotherhood formed through shared battles, growth, and the pressures of leading a young franchise. Now, after a blockbuster trade to Orlando, Bane talks candidly about embracing a new chapter and the responsibility of being a cornerstone for a young Magic squad. He opens up on how it took a little while trying to find his place in a new arena and gives context to the uncharacteristic game ejection early on, and shares what one thing clicked that has fueled his explosive run, including his back-to-back 37-point performances that set the tone for what's becoming a breakout year in his new uniform and has his team 4-0 in the NBA Cup. Raised by his grandparents in the tight-knit community of Richmond, Indiana, Bane reflects on how small-town values, discipline, and love shaped the competitor and man he is today. It wasn't an easy path and the young star reveals his personal anxiety battles and how he redefined his path. He talks about the pain of loss and how his wife and kids helped him redefine purpose after grieving from so much change. And in a rare pivotal moment on the show, Desmond flips the conversation to Ryan, Channing and Fred, asking them how life is for them and how they have handled certain changes....truly a powerful part of the episode. Authentic, honest, and inspiring, this conversation captures Desmond Bane at a pivotal moment — reflecting on where he came from, honoring the people who raised him, and stepping boldly into the player he's proving he can be.

Turning the worst heartache of loss into laughter may be one way of coping with tragedy, but Kev prides himself on his roots and sense of community, never wavering on his beliefs to chase money. From viral sketches to building his own streaming platform, Kev shares the lessons he's learned along the way—and the moments that tested his belief in himself and how walking away from a steady job to move across country changed his trajectory. This conversation is filled with a lot of laughs, real talk, and wisdom on how to keep pivoting with purpose and always find a way to the other side.

“My biggest Pivot is when I set out to do something and people doubt me. I like to have my back against the wall, that's something that makes me.” Norega What happens when a rap legend trades the stage for the mic, and then turns that mic into a cultural movement? Ryan, Channing and Fred sit down with N.O.R.E.—once frontman of the Queens duo Capone‑N‑Noreaga, still a platinum-selling solo act, and now one of hip-hop's most trusted voices behind the mic. We get to know N.O.R.E behind the fame and see him as the family man who loves being a grandpa, building wealth with his wife, who wakes up at 4am to embark on training for the NYC marathon, the guy in the group chat who is always motivating you and the friend who reaches out just to check in. In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover his journey through music, from his early days in Queens, going from jail to how meeting NAS changed his entire perspective on life to being one of the originals to boast Reggaeton to shifting into podcasting, co-founding the hit show Drink Champs with DJ EFN to becoming constant presence in hip hop culture. He takes the guys behind-the-scenes of hip-hop's biggest names, the compliment from 50 Cent that impacted his legacy to Kanye West naming his first child after him to the unexpected collaborations to the “you wouldn't believe” stories to his regret with Michael Jordan and how he's continuing to shape culture in a forever changing society. N.O.R.E shares how he developed a "whatever it takes" mentality to stay relevant as he's seen the culture he's helped build evolve three times over—on the mic, in the studio, in media. This episode is filled with raw energy, unfiltered truths, sharp humor, and the kind of storytelling only someone who's lived it can deliver. Whether you grew up riding the “Super Thug” beat or you're discovering N.O.R.E.'s impact for the first time, this episode is a bridge—between then & now, between rap and media, between the grind and the growth and where we are headed next. Tune in for a conversation that reminds us- a pivot isn't just a change—it's a choice and a continuous movement of evolution. And when you've seen it all, it's what you do next that counts.
