We humans tend to be empathic, and our brains reward us with hits of dopamine when we help our fellow beings. So, it is no surprise that when we do good by providing charity or means for our fellow humans to improve their lives, we feel good.  And because of that, I am so excited to speak with the guest on this episode, Mark Gerson. Mark is an incredible human being. He has a JD from Yale Law School, he married a rabbi, is the author of a brilliant book, the host of a great podcast, and he has had spectacular success in the business world founding Gerson Lehrman Group also known as GLG, Thuzio, Tel Aviv Angel Group and, later, Maverick Ventures Israel, a venture capital fund. But these are just some of the things that impress me about Mark. At least as impressive has been his total dedication to his charities and to measurably making our world a better place. He oversees United Hatzalah, an inspired medical operation in Israel, as well as African Mission Healthcare Foundation, a similarly inspired medical operation that supports Christian Medical Ministries in Africa. He talks about the benefits of participating in charity work and the meaning and sustainable joy it provides. He also shares tips on fundraising: a Jedi level skill that requires incredible finesse and has been described as the most difficult sale of all. So, listen in as Mark shares timeless wisdom of charity: how we get so much more than we give, when we give.

Patricia O'Connell interviews Tiki Barber, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Thuzio, on how his childhood dream of becoming an astronaut evolved into playing for 10 years with the NY Giants, entering broadcasting, and co-founding Thuzio, a sports events and media company. Tiki discusses his varied careers, his family, and what motivates him to succeed.   Listen in to learn more about taking advantage of opportunities and pivoting as needed. Key Takeaways: [:25] Patricia O'Connell introduces Tiki Barber, Co-chairman of Thuzio. [1:10] Patricia welcomes Tiki Barber to CEO Stories on This is Capitalism. [1:15] As a child, Tiki Barber was so strongly affected by the 1986 Challenger disaster that he wanted to be an astronaut. His mother suggested that he go to a college where he could study to be an astronaut. He studied engineering at the University of Virginia and played college football. In his first semester, he fell in love with computers. [3:03] Tiki's dream of becoming an astronaut fell by the wayside. He left the engineering school and joined the business school to study management information systems, which is database design and programming. His new dream was to work for Oracle or Microsoft as a tech entrepreneur. [3:27] In Tiki's junior year, his football skills had become so good that playing for the NFL was a realistic plan. [4:20] Tiki explains how his 10-year career with the NY Giants prepared him to become an entrepreneur. His first years in the NFL were tough and he was just hanging on. After a coaching staff change, he was used more and he began to excel. In business and entrepreneurship, even with the greatest idea, you will still take missteps and pivots. [6:10] You will have success when you work with a team and a mentor. Tiki tells how he and entrepreneur Mark Gerson partnered to form Thuzio as a marketplace for athletes to engage with their communities. Kiki believes that partnering with the right person is paramount to success. There has to be collaborative energy that exists between you. [8:14] Tiki explains how he met Mark during a transitional time. Mark's brother, Rick, was a college friend of Tiki's. Rick reached out to Tiki when Tiki wasn't working, and suggested Tiki and Mark should get together and “figure something out.” Six months later, Tiki and Mark launched Thuzio and it is still going strong. [8:46] Keep up with your relationships. Check in with people just to ask how they are. Tiki has found that being a people person has been extraordinarily beneficial to his entrepreneurial career. [9:58] What kinds of things have helped Tiki to transition from athlete to entrepreneur? Tiki's twin brother always said they would succeed because they don't believe that they can fail. They don't give up. Tiki has the utmost confidence in himself. If you believe that it's going to be OK, you tend to find the positive and you tend to find the next steps. [10:44] Tiki shares an anecdote from his brother and his life. While they were in college, their mother developed breast cancer and needed a double mastectomy. She told them, “I have to get busy living or I have to get busy dying. And I'm choosing to live.” She is now a 26-year cancer survivor. Her positivity stayed with Tiki. [12:02] In the early '70s, Tiki's father had left the family and was out of Tiki's life for decades. After Tiki's second marriage and their first child, Tiki's wife sent his father a Christmas card. Tiki's father came to visit the next March and met Tiki's five children. They drank wine together and reconnected after years. Then his half-sister connected. [12:37] Tiki has a great relationship now with a half-sister he didn't know for most of his life. You never know when reconciliation is the right thing for all. Now Tiki's children have a grandfather. Tiki says his wife Tracy is a wonderful teammate for him. [14:31] The name Thuzio comes from enthusiasm. They provide events with personalities about whom people are enthusiastic. Besides athletes, they work with authors, actors, musicians, and celebrity chefs. [15:46] Thuzio started as a marketplace to meet sports figures individually. It turned out to be unscalable. So, they created a membership base that could engage with the athletes in groups. They held 150- to 200-person events once or twice a month in major sports market cities. The events were engaging. [18:04] Then the pandemic happened. Thuzio had to pivot. As a live-event company, there was the risk of going under. Live events were impractical with social distancing. Then they were asked to host a virtual event. It worked and they realized they had a solution. [19:28] Now, instead of doing one or two events per market each month, they are hosting three or four events a day through Zoom and other virtual platforms. [20:00] Thuzio plans for a dual business model when in-person events are more practical. There is a significantly larger margin for an in-person event, while virtual events are more scalable and have a larger reach. Ultimately, having the in-person experience matters to the clients. [20:50] Troubled times create opportunities. Tiki talks about acquiring a Canadian company, Robin, for their live-event ticketing technology and as a second product offering. While the pandemic damaged the business model of Thuzio, it became an opportunity to expand its business model. [22:17] Tiki credits Thuzio CEO, Jared Augustine, with a great mind for seeing a business opportunity and making the decision to go after it aggressively.[22:43] Thuzio has been able to pivot in real time to survive another year and get closer to profitability. [23:16] Tiki describes splitting Julius Works from Thuzio. Julius Works finds influencers for client campaigns. Thuzio became the event company. When that split happened, Thuzio became a startup. They brought on new investors just before the pandemic hit. They created a Kickstarter campaign. Going to a virtual model helped a lot. [26:02] Tiki talks about when they will reach profitability. He foresees it in a year or so, given their history of innovation. They need to invest in growing their divisions and their clients. [27:28] Where are the astronaut influencers? Tiki thinks that is a great idea. Tiki talks about his sci-fi passions and natural geekiness. He is doing a visual podcast called Display TV, interviewing experts in certain fields. [29:46] Tiki talks about the children's books he and his brother, Ronde, wrote, starting with By My Brother's Side. They did a total of three picture books and nine chapter books. He still gets comments on these books from people who read them growing up. [32:11] What's next for Tiki? He has always been an opportunist and has never been afraid to try something new. You never know when that's going to ultimately be your passion. His friends told him never to be afraid to diversify his income streams. Diversification creates redundancy in success. [34:19] Patricia thanks Tiki for being on the podcast; This Is Capitalism.   Mentioned in This Episode: Tiki Barber Thuzio Challenger disaster University of Virginia Oracle Microsoft NFL NY GiantsToday Show FoxNews CBS Sports Radio Kinky Boots Mark Gerson GLG Zoom Robin JuliusWorks.comBy My Brother's Side, by Tiki and Ronde Barber

"At some point, your opportunity will hit. At the time when you're least expecting it. You have to be ready. You have to jump." Tiki Barber is one of the best all-purpose running backs in NFL history. He was undersized, under-recruited, and was given his first opportunity to play when the starting running back at UVA got injured. He never looked back. He grew up with his twin brother Ronde (also an NFL star and future hall-of-famer) and single mother who worked two jobs, and taught them what hard work, resiliency, and passion looked like. At UVA, Tiki studied business, and was quick to jump into media after being taken in the 2nd round of the NFL Draft. Like all athletes, Tiki knew that his playing career would end, but life after football could be huge -- as long as he worked hard and took advantage of the league's platform. Quickly, Tiki became versed in media, co-hosting the Today Show and Fox & Friends, while making appearances on a dozen other major properties. While rushing and catching for almost 2,500 yards in one season, Tiki also began his entrepreneurial career, co-founding Thuzio with his UVA classmate, Rick Gerson. Tiki's well-networked, works incredibly hard, and is amazingly articulate in sharing his life story with us -- including tips to becoming a better athlete, and ways to expedite your career in entrepreneurship.

The Los Angeles Charger joins the LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS podcast with Yogi Roth and shares elements of his competitive journey.Beginning in Kenosha, Wisconsin Melvin found that his creative work ethic would lead him to developing a skill set that allowed him to be one of the top players in the nation coming out of high school. For example, as a child he and his Dad would dig through trash cans and find water bottles to use as cones when doing agility work.That work ethic translated to college where he became a Heisman Trophy Finalist. A key to his success is his grit, which Melvin continued to develop during late nights in Madison, Wisconsin, working out past 2am to maintain his edge. That edge led him to becoming a first round NFL Draft pick.Melvin also shares his process with Yogi: from processing his father going to prison and being released, how he is able to ‘re-set' as a competitor and how he processes the sheer physicality of football.His vulnerability and candid nature will have you leaning in, as Melvin will motivate, inspire and remind all of us that the only limits we have in life are the one's we set ourselves.This conversation was captured at the Thuzio event in Los Angeles and much love to them for creating this conversation.Visit www.MelvinGordon.com to learn more about Melvin's story.For more conversations around those Seeking to be their best self visit www.YogiRoth.com.#LifeWithoutLimits@YogiRoth on all social media

Being an All-Pro running back in the NFL was not Tiki Barber’s dream job. Microsoft, or another computer programming giant was Barber’s goal until the New York Giants called his name in the second round of the 1997 NFL Draft. Barber graduated high school with a 4.0 grade point average, played football at the University of Virginia on an athletic scholarship. When he stepped foot on campus, he wanted to be an astronaut, but then found his way studying management and information systems (MIS). The former ACC Player of the Year went on to spend 10 seasons with the Giants, where he set more than a dozen franchise records before retiring in his prime, one year before the Giants’ victory in Super Bowl XLII. “I was very comfortable walking away from the game when I did because my dreams were going elsewhere and my passion was going elsewhere,” Barber said. He says it is serendipity that his path took him to New York. The shy boy from Blacksburg, Virginia, who was born premature, was now in the middle of the media capitol. This led to weekly media appearances and host opportunities to help land his first post-playing endeavor as a correspondent on NBC’s Today and an analyst for Sunday Night Football. But he realized just because media was a common post retirement career for pro athletes, it was not his dream. Born premature, along with his twin brother Ronde, Barber says he and his brother were always taught by their mother to be their own person, never what someone thought you should be. “As you get older and you turn into a really good athlete, that’s how people want to define you,” Barber said. “My mother wasn’t going to let that happen.” In 2012, Barber and business partner Mark Gerson founded Thuzio, an online marketplace for talent booking. A second business, Julius, followed as well as authoring his autobiography, Tiki: My Life and the Game Beyond, and a number of children’s books. He remains in broadcasting as co-host of national CBS Sports Radio show “Tiki and Tierney” with Brandon Tierney. Barber, a father of six, hopes others realize the same message his mom taught him as they begin their careers, whether it be in professional sports or the finance world. Influencer (INFLCR) founder and CEO Jim Cavale, a lifelong Giants fan, sat down with Barber at his New York City offices to hear more of his story and his advice for young athletes, leaders and entrepreneurs. In this conversation, Barber gives advices for those pursuing a college athletics career today: - Have confidence in yourself and learn to be sociable - Use the access your name will get you to engage with alumni - Be a self-starter and take initiative - Think about social media with a purpose to tell your story - Know your market, your followers on social media - Have a plan Follow @TikiBarber on Twitter and Facebook or on Snapchat at tiki.barber. Jim Cavale has been an entrepreneur since college, when he co-founded a sports TV/Radio streaming network for his university, and then created a product to sell to other universities to help them stream their sporting events. Since then, Jim has exited multiple businesses, most recently selling his equity as President of Iron Tribe Fitness (http://irontribefitness.com) after more than six years in which he helped lead the brand from one gym in Alabama to more than 40 gym locations across America from Seattle to Miami. He is a three-time INC. 5000 entrepreneur who has recently founded two new emerging brands in the GLOW beauty on demand app (http://theGLOWapp.com) and the Influencer (http://INFLCR.com) SaaS product that empowers brands to partner with their brand ambassadors on social media.
