What does it take not only to plan growth – but to actually deliver it? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan speaks with Martin Hettich – former senior executive at Procter & Gamble and now Partner at Boston Consulting Group. With more than 30 years of international leadership experience, Martin shares the principles that enable sustainable growth in complex environments. The conversation explores entrepreneurial curiosity, critical thinking, and the discipline of continuous reinvention. Martin reflects on how early experiences in sports shaped his resilience, why honest feedback is a true gift in leadership, and why integrity remains the most essential trait of any leader. Together, Stefan and Martin discuss what corporations can learn from consulting firms – and vice versa, why many organizations only take innovation seriously when they have to, and how a relentless focus on customer impact and real leverage leads to better decisions. A key theme: the ability to say no and to invest time where it truly creates value. A conversation about growth with substance, leadership with character, and the courage to keep developing yourself – so strategy turns into real results. ––– More about Martin Hettich: // LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-hettich-35778125/?locale=de_DE // WEBSITE: https://hettichconsulting.com ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

We are all working in multigenerational environments, and for many the differences in preference and perspective generate more friction and misunderstanding than productivity. Most conversations about generations at work turn to using labels, assumptions, and overconfidence about what a given generation "is like." In this episode, we look at generational patterns as context, not conclusions, and investigate where they can help us connect and collaborate across generations and where they fall short. Collaboration gets easier when we stop leading with assumptions and start getting curious about the people we need to work with. We might have more in common that we realize.

Was braucht es, um Wachstum nicht nur zu planen, sondern wirklich zu liefern? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan mit Martin Hettich – ehemaliger Top-Manager bei Procter & Gamble, heute Berater und Partner der Boston Consulting Group. Martin blickt auf über 30 Jahre internationale Führungserfahrung zurück und teilt die Prinzipien, die für ihn nachhaltiges Wachstum möglich machen. Im Gespräch geht es um unternehmerische Neugier, kritisches Denken und die Fähigkeit, sich selbst immer wieder neu zu erfinden. Martin erzählt, wie frühe Erfahrungen im Sport seine Resilienz geprägt haben, warum ehrliches Feedback ein Geschenk ist – gerade in der Führung – und weshalb Integrität für ihn die wichtigste Eigenschaft einer Führungskraft ist. Gemeinsam diskutieren Stefan und Martin, was Konzerne von Beratungen lernen können – und umgekehrt, warum viele Unternehmen Innovation erst dann ernst nehmen, wenn sie müssen, und wie konsequenter Fokus auf Kundennähe und Hebelwirkung bessere Entscheidungen ermöglicht. Ein zentrales Thema: die Kunst, Nein zu sagen und Zeit dort zu investieren, wo sie echte Wirkung entfaltet. Ein Gespräch über Wachstum mit Substanz, über Führung mit Haltung und über den Mut, sich selbst kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln – damit aus Strategie echte Ergebnisse werden. ––– Mehr von Martin Hettich: // LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-hettich-35778125/?locale=de_DE // WEBSITE: https://hettichconsulting.com ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Many leaders experience exactly this: the team works hard, everyone is busy, calendars are full — and yet the results fall short of expectations. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan explains why this is rarely a performance problem and almost always a leadership problem. He shows how easily activity is mistaken for impact, why too many priorities drain focus and energy, and why vague leadership — though well-intentioned — is highly ineffective. Being busy feels productive. Delivering real results is far more uncomfortable. Stefan shares three practical levers leaders can use immediately to create impact: defining results instead of tasks, radically focusing on a small number of priorities, and running regular, honest outcome check-ins. It's about clarity in the “what,” freedom in the “how,” and the courage to consistently decide what not to do. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Viele Führungskräfte erleben genau das: Das Team arbeitet hart, alle sind beschäftigt, die Tage sind voll – und trotzdem bleiben die Ergebnisse hinter den Erwartungen zurück. In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan darüber, warum das kein Leistungsproblem ist, sondern fast immer ein Führungsproblem. Er zeigt, wie leicht Aktivität mit Wirkung verwechselt wird, warum zu viele Prioritäten Fokus und Energie zerstören und weshalb vage Führung zwar gut gemeint, aber hochgradig ineffektiv ist. Busy zu sein fühlt sich produktiv an – Ergebnisse zu liefern ist deutlich unbequemer. Stefan teilt drei konkrete Hebel, mit denen Führungskräfte sofort Wirkung erzeugen können: Ergebnisse statt Aufgaben klar definieren, radikal auf wenige Prioritäten fokussieren und regelmäßig ehrliche Ergebnis-Checks durchführen. Es geht um Klarheit im „Was“, Freiheit im „Wie“ und den Mut, konsequent zu entscheiden, was nicht gemacht wird. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Joel is joined by Rick Cox (see Leadership Insights) to discuss some of their favorite passages from the book ‘Ego Is The Enemy' by Ryan Holiday.

Some teams were top performers just yesterday – and suddenly find themselves stuck today. Same people, same organization, yet out of nowhere: stagnation. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan explores why teams lose momentum and what you as a leader can do to get them moving again. You'll learn which patterns block growth – missing feedback, buried conflict and a leadership vacuum where problems are admired instead of solved. Stefan shows how a strong feedback culture, courageous conflict navigation and genuine trust in your people can turn caution into ownership and stagnation into progress. A concise episode for leaders who refuse to accept stuck teams – and instead want to unlock their full potential. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

In this episode of the Your Health University Podcast, Jamie sits down with Matt Whitehead, Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health, to unpack one of leadership's hardest realities: you rarely have all the information you want when decisions matter most.Drawing from decades of healthcare leadership experience, Matt explains how early decisions were driven almost entirely by gut, ethics, and urgency—long before real-time data existed. Together, they explore the balance between data and instinct, confidence and humility, decisiveness and recklessness.This conversation tackles real leadership tension: when waiting causes harm, when momentum matters more than perfection, and why doing nothing is often the most dangerous choice. Matt also shares a candid leadership failure, what it taught him, and how Your Health built a culture where mistakes are learning tools—not career-ending moments.If you lead people, teams, or systems—especially in healthcare—this episode reframes uncertainty not as a weakness, but as the proving ground of great leadership. www.YourHealth.Org

Manche Teams waren gestern noch hoch erfolgreich – und stecken heute fest. Gleiche Menschen, gleiche Organisation, aber plötzlich: Stillstand. In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan darüber, warum Teams ins Stocken geraten und was Du als Führungskraft tun kannst, um sie wieder in Bewegung zu bringen.

Many companies launch ambitious transformation programs – yet only few truly reach their goals. Studies consistently show that around 70% of all transformations fail, often for the same reasons. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan explores why so many change initiatives lose momentum – and what you can do differently to make your transformation succeed. Stefan explains why the number of transformation efforts has exploded in recent years, why “change fatigue” is now widespread across organizations, and why missing leadership transformation is often the real reason progress stalls. You'll learn how a clear “why” creates alignment, why role-model behavior has more impact than any slide deck, how developing and empowering people beats pressure every time, and how measuring, learning, and adapting ensures that transformation doesn't end in chaos but in real results. A focused, practical episode for leaders who want to move beyond announcements – and make transformation truly work. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

In Season 2, Episode 7, Anne Hancock Toomey sits down with Lisa Shannon, CEO of Allina Health, to discuss her impressive trajectory from a rural community in Ohio to leading a health system with 12 hospitals and dozens of clinics across Minnesota and Wisconsin. Shannon began her career as a hospital-based dietician, growing and evolving to become a highly respected executive and leader. That success came from the early influence of her grandmother, along with, of course, mentors and leaders along the way. Shannon talks about a devastating medical error that affected her family early in her life. Indeed, one of Shannon's priorities throughout her leadership career has been the pursuit of zero safety events, which includes creating a culture where anyone and everyone is empowered to speak up.

Actress Sharon Lawrence joins the conversation to revisit career milestones, including her memorable work on NYPD Blue and a fan-favorite turn as Amelia Earhart on Star Trek: Voyager.

Lawrence also highlights her advocacy through SAG-AFTRA Foundation programs, including emergency assistance and literacy outreach. Warm, funny, and thoughtful, it's an energizing start to the new season—complete with bar banter, theater shout-outs, and plenty of heart.Takeaways:A live, laughter-filled kickoff to a new season from the Palm Desert corner booth.Sharon Lawrence reflects on NYPD Blue, including Sylvia's arc and lasting impact.A deep dive into her Star Trek: Voyager role as Amelia Earhart—and fan culture.Early career roots in musical theater and how stage experience builds confidence.Growing up in a broadcasting, storytelling family shaped her voice and timing.Why acting “competition” is about fit and subjectivity—not winning or losing.TV's evolution: fewer episodes, more platforms, mergers, and shifting audiences.Behind-the-scenes union work: SAG-AFTRA Foundation support, grants, and literacy.#BigConversationsLittleBarPodcast #PatrickEvans #RandyFlorence #SkipsLittleBar #MutualBroadcastingSystem #CoachellaValleyResidents #SkipPaige #McCallumTheatre #SharonLawrence #ActressInterview #PalmDesert #PodcastEpisode #NYPDBlue #StarTrekVoyager #AmeliaEarhart #Broadway #HallmarkMovies #SAGAFTRAFoundation #StorylineOnline #McCallumTheater #EntertainmentIndustry

Viele Unternehmen starten ambitionierte Transformationsprogramme – aber nur wenige kommen wirklich dort an, wo sie hinwollen. Studien zeigen: Rund 70 % aller Transformationen scheitern, oft aus denselben Gründen.

Stefan spricht darüber, warum die Zahl der Veränderungsprogramme in den letzten Jahren explodiert ist, weshalb Change Fatigue in vielen Organisationen spürbar ist und wieso fehlende Führungstransformation oft der wahre Bremsklotz ist. Du erfährst, wie ein klares „Warum“ Orientierung gibt, warum Vorbildverhalten stärker wirkt als jede Folie, wieso Entwickeln und Befähigen wichtiger ist als Druck – und wie Messen, Lernen und Anpassen dafür sorgen, dass Veränderung nicht im Aktionismus endet, sondern Wirkung entfaltet.

There was two parts of the digital revolution that changed the business. One was print on demand publishing where you didn't have to do big print runs to get the cost down. So my first book, you know, first run was 2,500 books. Second run was another 2,500 books. It was called the second printing. The joke is, yeah, my book went to two printings because the first one was blurred, but no. So you would earn extra printings. Henry DeVries [00:00:24]: But with print on demand it's just, just as economical to print one book as the unit price. On the 2500 books. James Kademan [00:00:35]: You have found Authentic Business Adventures, the business program that brings you the struggle stories and triumphant successes of business owners across the land. Downloadable audio episodes can be found the podcast link found at drawincustomers.com we are locally underwritten by the Bank of Sun Prairie Calls On Call Extraordinary Answering Service as well as the Bold business book and live switch. Today we're welcoming, slash, preparing to learn from. Let's see here, Henry, I'm going to try to say your last name. Devries. Henry DeVries [00:01:06]: There you go. Henry Devries with the cheese. James Kademan [00:01:10]: I love it. Of Indie Books International. And we're talking books and marketing and all that jazz. So Henry, how is it going today? Henry DeVries [00:01:18]: It is so great. I'm so excited to talk about the virtues of a book marketing with a book that you're proud of. James Kademan [00:01:26]: I love it. I love it. You know, you raise an interesting point here. I just want to give you a really quick anecdote before we run down the road of marketing with your book. I was given a book by someone that they were hustling as something I suppose like a business card. Probably what we'll mention. Henry DeVries [00:01:43]: Sure. James Kademan [00:01:43]: And I had started reading it and it was, it was bad. It was really bad. It's not to say the content itself was bad. I felt like it was very poorly written and not edited at all. So I saw this guy later at a different networking function. I'm like, hey man, your book was interesting. Who did you use for an editor? And he's like, oh yeah, I edit it myself. I don't need to pay someone to edit it. James Kademan [00:02:08]: And I was like, oh, okay, great. Fantastic. Way to go. You can totally tell I didn't say that. Henry DeVries [00:02:15]: James, we have a saying. The world does not need another crappy self published book. James Kademan [00:02:21]: Oh, I love that saying. That's perfect. That's perfect. So let's start with what you got going on, Henry. How long have you been in the book marketing world? Henry DeVries [00:02:32]: Indie Books International. We started on April 1, 2014. I'd been a ghost writer for books for years before that. So officially 11 years publishing over 200 books in that time. James Kademan [00:02:48]: All right, well, that's a fair number that is Any specific genre. Henry DeVries [00:02:55]: Yes. Well, business books. So according to Barnes and noble, there are 16 subcategories of books. And then since we're nonfiction, some of our books fall under self help, or they'll fall under whatever industry the person is in. So it. It. But it tends to be these nonfiction books to help business people find right fit prospects. James Kademan [00:03:19]: Right on. You know, it's interesting you say that. I, I assume as you know, I wrote and published a book, and it was interesting because I use it essentially as a business card. But I had somebody ask me if I ever made money from the book, and I was like, no, no, I would love to be Stephen King or something like that. Where you're making thousands of dollars every month off your book and to not have to fight to find a publisher, that was not the case. So in that non fiction realm, I guess I'm saying that to say I feel like in the non fiction realm, that's more of the case rather than the fiction realm. I don't. Correct me if I'm wrong here. Henry DeVries [00:04:01]: Well, in the nonfiction realm, it's all about marketing with a book. I didn't write the book marketing a book. I did it marketing with a book, meaning it's what happens as a result of the book. And our authors have found they've gotten returns of 400 to 2000% ROI by marketing with a book and a speech. We like to say publishing the book is the starting line. The book is your ticket to ride. It's your ticket to get into the game. James Kademan [00:04:32]: I love. Okay, so essentially what you're saying is the book is a marketing tool. You're not marketing the book, you're marketing with a book. Okay, that's way better. Clarification. Henry DeVries [00:04:42]: One of my authors made a million dollars, and he didn't even care how many books he sold, but he gave away hundreds and hundreds of books. And. And that resulted in clients. Five figure clients. And that he says it adds up to over a million dollars that he got as a result of being the author of that book over and above what he would have made. James Kademan [00:05:07]: I love it. All right, so let's dig into why someone would want to market with a book rather than throwing ads on the Internet or a big billboard or cold calling or something of that nature. Henry DeVries [00:05:18]: Well, because you want to be seen as the authority in your Space for a certain group of people who have a certain problem. You're the authority and you can't spell authority without the word author. So authors are respected because of the research they've done, the people they've talked to and the results that they share. And then that attracts people especially right fit prospects to them. And they're not chasing the prospects. It's like a magnet that's attracting the prospects to them. James Kademan [00:05:51]: I love it. You mentioned self publishing. Is that typically where you're steering people to or what you're steering people to do? Henry DeVries [00:05:59]: Oh no, we call it self publishing, the S word. Even if you do it, don't ever say your book was self published because that has a stigma to it. It's like what crazy old grandpas do? You indie publish your book. You might cobble together a team to help you indie publish the book. The person in your example, he missed a big player at it. An editor. And there's different types of editors. I'm a developmental editor. Henry DeVries [00:06:26]: I help people develop a manuscript, an idea how it would play in the marketplace, how to bake marketing into it. But you also need line editors, people who make sure that you don't use the wrong word or the styles right, or a typo. James, I'll tell you, you triggered my all time worst story of somebody who came up to me, was so proud of their book and he handed me his book and he said, what do you think? And on the COVID it said forward F O R W A R D by this name. Well, it's actually F O R E. W O R D is a forward, a word that comes first in a book. So he had this major glaring typo on the COVID of his book. James Kademan [00:07:16]: Oh no. Henry DeVries [00:07:17]: And he said, well, what do you think? I said, well, I've got to point out you have this glaring typo on the COVID of your book. Oh, oh, I printed 5,000 copies. What should I do? And I said Fahrenheit 451. If you know science fiction and Ray Bradbury, that's the temperature books burn at. Fahrenheit 451. Famous science fiction book. So I was telling him to burn 5,000 books, which he did. Because I said I don't even want you to give these away or donate them to some thrift store because every time somebody sees your name and this book and that typo, it's bringing you down in the market. Henry DeVries [00:08:03]: The same thing with a crappy self published book where they said, oh, you know, I can do it cheap. I said, okay, well, let's say you have a big speech and people have paid you $5,000 to come speak to them, and you got to wear something. Are you going to go to Goodwill and see if somebody donated something good that week? Or, you know, maybe there's an Armani suit there,

2025 was an exceptional year for many leaders: more results in less time, multiple transformations at once, rising uncertainty and a level of exhaustion that was felt across entire organizations. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan reflects on what this year has revealed about effective leadership – and what you can change in 2026 to lead with greater impact. He discusses why so many organizations slipped into overload, why psychological safety has become the core currency of high-performing teams and how AI amplifies leadership rather than replacing it. Stefan also shares personal moments from 2025 – from powerful experiences on global stages to remarkable team transformations and his own lessons as an entrepreneur. An honest and practical episode about finding clarity in turbulent times, reducing noise, and turning 2026 into your strongest year as a leader.

2025 war für viele Führungskräfte ein Ausnahmejahr: mehr Ergebnis in weniger Zeit, mehrere Transformationen parallel, hohe Unsicherheit und spürbare Erschöpfung in vielen Teams. In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts schaut Stefan darauf, was dieses Jahr über gutes Führen gezeigt hat – und was Du 2026 bewusst anders machen kannst. Er spricht darüber, warum so viele Organisationen in eine Überlastungsspirale geraten sind, wieso psychologische Sicherheit zur Kernwährung moderner Teams geworden ist und wie KI als Verstärker wirkt, nicht als Ersatz für Führung. Gleichzeitig teilt Stefan sehr persönliche Erfahrungen aus 2025 – von bewegenden Momenten auf internationalen Bühnen über beeindruckende Teamtransformationen bis hin zu eigenen Lernschritten als Unternehmer. Eine ehrliche Folge über Orientierung in unsicheren Zeiten, über Klarheit statt Aktionismus und darüber, wie Du 2026 zu Deinem stärksten Führungsjahr machen kannst. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

There are moments in recruiting or promotion decisions when something feels off. A slight hesitation. A subtle inner resistance. A sense that something doesn't fully fit. And yet many leaders ignore exactly dieses early signal — out of time pressure, out of hope, or simply because the team urgently needs someone. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan explains why those moments of doubt are not a weakness, but one of the strongest indicators in leadership selection. He shares a simple but powerful principle he learned early in his career and has since applied with thousands of leaders around the world: “When there is doubt, there is no doubt.” With real leadership examples, Stefan explores why leaders so often override their intuition, how pressure to “finally fill the role” leads to poor decisions, and why hope is never a substitute for competence and behaviour. You will learn how to take your instinct seriously without being impulsive, how to test your doubts rationally, how to evaluate real behaviour rather than polished rhetoric, and when to bring in a second set of eyes to avoid blind spots. Stefan also shares a practical method used in top leadership teams to assess candidates more effectively and make clearer decisions. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

We just got back from a 3-week road trip through Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico — and after 100+ miles of hiking and 21,000 feet of elevation, I've returned energized and ready to look ahead.This episode is short but critical.I'm inviting you to think about your 2026 goals now — not in January.Most people wait until the first of the year to set resolutions. But by then, you're influenced by emotions, peer pressure, and the momentum of the moment. Instead, I suggest you use the stillness of December to reflect on 2025. Be honest. Celebrate what worked. Get honest about what didn't.Then begin setting intentional goals using the framework of heart, soul, body, and mind.If you get them written by November 30th, you can start working them in December. That gives you a 30-day head start — and it's a massive advantage over waiting for January motivation to kick in.Let's lead ourselves well, so we can lead others better.► Like what you're hearing?

Welcome to MAFFEO DRINKS. For many years, I've been known as the "built bottom-up" guy. But many people misunderstand what bottom-up actually means. Bottom-up means building at a pace that doesn't jeopardize your future. Doing the right things on the ground while managing expectations from above.That's it. It doesn't matter if your brand is small or big. It's a mindset.I'm Chris Maffeo, Drinks Leadership Advisor. 20 years in drinks across 30+ markets. I've been in the boardroom but chose to stay connected to the field. That's where I founded MAFFEO DRINKS.We help drinks leadership bridge the gap between bottom-up reality and top-down expectations. Stakeholders want numbers. Your team wants direction. You are caught in the middle. And that's where we come in.This podcast is about honest conversations with drinks builders: founders, distributors, commercial directors, CEOs, F&B directors. But this isn't a show about biographies. Every guest is here to show their thinking, not their resume.We talk commercial strategy, route-to-market, distributor relationships, trade marketing, and all the plumbing of brand building that nobody discusses on stage. How the industry actually works, not the conference version. How to master the unscalable things while building scale.Beyond the podcast, we offer Bottom-Up Intel & Principles: episode deep dives that you can buy for a monthly subscription (Patterns from drinks builders for the leaders building with them).And for leadership teams who want a thought partner who has been in their chair and still walks the field, we offer advisory.Find out more at maffeodrinks.com.And remember that brands are built bottom-up.

Was passiert, wenn Partnerschaft nicht nur privat, sondern auch beruflich trägt? In dieser Team-Behind-the-Scenes-Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan mit seiner Frau und Business-Partnerin Tanja Homeister darüber, wie aus ihrer Beziehung ein starkes Leadership-Tandem geworden ist. Tanja ist im Hintergrund das „Heart of Operations“ – verantwortlich für Office, Kommunikation, Struktur und reibungslose Abläufe. Stefan bringt Vision, Energie und neue Ideen, Tanja sorgt dafür, dass sie ankommen und wirken. Gemeinsam sprechen die beiden darüber, wie sie Rollen klären, Konflikte ohne Drama lösen, Grenzen zwischen Arbeit und Privatleben ziehen und wie unsichtbare Arbeit sichtbar und wertgeschätzt wird. Eine persönliche und ehrliche Folge darüber, wie zwei unterschiedliche Perspektiven gemeinsam mehr Führungskraft entfalten können. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Chris Spencer is a tech entrepreneur and founder of TeamQ, who today is using his decade playing in the NFL as a foundation for helping athletes across the country maximize their potential on the field and in life. In this episode, Spencer and Anne Hancock Toomey discuss his background growing up in Bentonia, Mississippi, transitioning from farm life to football. He wasn't just a football player, though. Spencer had an impressive career at Ole Miss and, following a conversation with Archie Manning, entered the draft...where he was picked in the first round (unheard of for a center) and ended up snapping the ball on the play that instantly became known as BeastQuake. Here, Spencer shares insights into his dyslexia diagnosis and how football became both a crutch and a tool for his personal development. He digs into the lessons he learned and the needs he observed while playing that led him to his post-NFL career founding TeamQ, a performance intelligence platform aimed at empowering athletes beyond the game. The conversation covers Spencer's leadership philosophies, the importance of relationships, and AI. Plus, the joy of driving tractors on the farm. 2:02 Early Life and Family 7:33 College Football Journey 13:32 Realizing NFL Potential 17:30 NFL Career Highlights 19:35 Leadership On and Off the Field 20:53 Transitioning from NFL to Life After 25:07 From Physiology to Technology 35:07 Balancing Family and Entrepreneurship 38:06 Leadership Insights 39:40 Lightning Round Learn more about your ad choices.
