Today I sit down with Kyle Mauch, founder of Athletes Brand.

As a former professional athlete, Kyle has transitioned to starting not one, but four different companies – with a life vision to help 1,000 athletes create a legacy beyond the game.

Kyle has become a close personal friend of mine that’s not only shaped the way I think about business but life in general.

I can’t wait for you to hear this laid-back conversation packed with the knowledge and wisdom that Kyle brought.

Some highlights from today’s show:

• How to find out what you care about
• What “relevant value” is and how it can help you avoid a post-career identity crisis
• A powerful question you can ask yourself to define your legacy
• How to create significant brand-value
• The eye-opening moment that changed Kyle’s trajectory as an athlete
• The storytelling process that Kyle leverages in his businesses to develop brands
• What it’s like to work with Kyle
• The downside of saying “yes” to every opportunity that comes your way
• Kyle’s morning routine
• Why you don’t need to be a non-profit (and when you should be)
• The biggest investment Kyle’s made to date
