Life After the NFL: Lessons for Identity, Goals, and Team Leadership


Listen Later

Former NFL player Mark LeVoir joins us this week to talk about life after pro sports, and the lessons he took transitioning to a career in tech.

George K and George A talk to Mark about:

  • The transition from professional sports to tech sales and why goals beat identity every time
  • His simple method for aligning business outcomes with corporate objectives in enterprise deals
  • Building sales teams that can fail fast, learn quick, and operate on trust instead of aggressive tactics
  • Life lessons from the NFL locker room and why hanging with Tom Brady is just like hanging with regular dudes

"I want my people to be able to fail. Fail fast. What do we learn from it? If your intent's in the right spot and you just failed, it's a coaching experience. If your intent isn't right, we're having a different conversation."

Plus, George A. gets Mark talking about hanging with Tom Brady, why Lamborghinis are useless when you're 6'7", and his top cigar picks, because why not?
