Blake Baratz is an NFL agent and the founder of the Institute for Athletes.  Blake represents a number of prominent NFL players and represents Jonathan Allen from the University of Alabama, who will most likely be a top 5 pick in next week's NFL draft.

In our conversation, Blake talks about his childhood and how sports played a major role in his identity.  He reminisces about being a collegiate tennis player and the lessons he learned from competing at a high level.  And we discuss his mindset on creating a company from scratch and how he has built a company to represent his values. 

Blake is an incredible Twtter follow so I recommend you check him out there as well @BlakeBaratz.
