How the f**k did Shea Dawson draft up her own job description in order to transition out of the NBA and into Overtime? On today’s episode, we’re talking with Shea about how a clear life mission guided her through the teaching and sports worlds. Shea knew that her mission was to help athletes, especially those within the black community, leverage their platforms in sports for social and financial capital elsewhere. After working as a coach and a teacher for a few years, she started working with the Philadelphia 76ers. Eventually, she felt a push to do more, so she drew up a sort of manifesto outlining her dream job and sent it off to Overtime. They started the process of hiring her shortly after. So how did Shea really solidify her own mission? And what Shea Dawson quote will we put right under the Pete Carrol rejection note in the HTFDYGTJ? history books?

How the f**k did Nicholas Stone go from playing professionally in the Australian Football League to founding his own chain of coffee shops? Today, we chat with Nicholas about earning a degree in business as a professional athlete, his investment banking career that included a pitch to the C-Suite of Apple, and starting his own coffee company. Nicholas grew up in Melbourne, Australia. He got recruited to play in the AFL right out of high school. He went on to play at the sport's highest level for SIX years. After working with the largest bank in Australia for a few years after his athletic career ended, his fascination and passion for traveling led him to New York City. For three years, Nicholas was methodically opening up his own coffee shops and building the brand Bluestone Lane. All the while, he was still working as Director of Corporate Finance and Head of Americas (what a title) for ANZ. So how did Bluestone blow up to over 50 locations? And why was Cameron Diaz freezing outside one of his shops in the snow?

How the f**k did AJ Vaynerchuk know he was going to start a business with his brother as early as high school? Today AJ talks with us about how he co-founded VaynerMedia and blazed a trail in the social-first digital agency business. AJ went on sabbatical after years of hard work at Vayner (a real sabbatical, but we'll let him tell you what that means). When he got back from Martha’s Vineyard, where he spent his days reading, hanging out with his wife, and capturing Pokémon on dog walks, AJ founded VaynerSports. So why did AJ want to enter into the sports agency space? Did he really take the first-ever Uber ride in New York City? And whose torch would be put out first in "Survivor: VaynerSports"?

How the f**k did Tom Weingarten go from hosting impromptu Union Square dunk competitions to managing a social media platform with over a billion impressions per month? Today we talk with Tom, a.k.a. Overtime Tom, about his journey through the sports world as he built up Overtime to what it is today. The trick to their success? iPhones. They’ve been dominating the social media game in the world of sports by beating out organizations like Bleacher Report and ESPN when it comes to releasing content authentically and efficiently. The athlete relationships that technology helped foster has also led to massive success on Tik Tok, where they’ve raked in over 8 million followers, thanks to Tom (he guards the password to the account with his life). So how did Tom become fluent in social media? And who is Overtime Steve?

How the f**k did Kenny Bell go from connecting with fans at The Bar The Bar in Lincoln to connecting with brands like Bud Light looking to get involved with his Twitch streams? Today, we talk with Fairview High School's finest, Kenny Bell. After setting re-writing the record book as a wide receiver at the powerhouse University of Nebraska Lincoln football program, Kenny went on to play in the NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos. After a very gnarly quadricep injury, Kenny started getting more into gaming and streaming, while also learning the ropes in outside sales at NCR. So how did Kenny work through the tough question of: What are you without football? And how did he and his teammates get Bo Pellini to scream  "Lambhorgini Mercy. Your chick she so thirsty."?

How the f**k did West Wilson go from college football player to video producer at Bleacher Report? Today, we talked with West about his video producing skills which took him from going viral in Montana, to the top of a bus taking a shot out of a bowling ball in Buffalo, and to placing reckless and random parlays down in Vegas. West went to college in Bozeman, Montana where he played football at Montana State University. He then moved to NYC where he started his own food show called Napkins while working jobs at Major League Baseball and MediaPlanet. So how did West capitalize on the opportunities given to him to get to Bleacher Report? And who was Joe Spit?

In our very special two-part episode, we talked with Whitney about how she ended up back in New York after going home to Tampa for a total of six months (youngest snow bird ever). Back in the city, she went back to work for VaynerMedia and then eventually left to start her own social media marketing and consulting business called Social Victories where she’s worked with athletes like Phil Mickelson, Brandon Marshall, Brandon Copeland, Hakeem Valles and Cameron Lynch. So what makes Whitney Holtzman, Whitney Holtzman? And what is the HTFDYGTJ Book Club?

How the f**k did Whitney Holtzman go from one of the biggest Bucs fans at age six to starting her own business acting as the CEO of Social Victories; CMO for NFL, MLB and NHL Athletes? In our very special two-part episode, we talked with Whitney about her time at the University of Florida and asked her if Tim Tebow really is that perfect in real life (he is). We chatted about how she earned the 51st spot out of 50 intern spots at ESPN because she is that good and how that internship led to her to New York City after many months of waiting after college. She talked about how she somehow found a job as one of the first in-house social media associates for Major League Baseball on Craig’s List and how an airport pizza brought her to VaynerMedia and Gary Vee. So how did she achieve such major success so early in her career? And how did she get a pizza delivered inside LaGuardia Airport?

How the f**k did Walter Powell go from the NFL to the tech startup world? In this episode, we talk to Walt about his company Politiscope which he started with his childhood friend Jackson White. Walt was a former NFL Wide Receiver playing for teams like the Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. When he wanted to enter into the business world, he took the entrepreneurial route with help from political junkie/friend Jackson. Together they created Politiscope, an app that is “reviving American democracy by bringing politics into clear view and putting the power of raw information in the palm of your hand.” So how did Walt manage to do it all — football and tech startup? Maybe with some help from a very large balloon?
