NFL Draft+ Pope Draft: Business Lessons You Didn’t See Coming | 13
This episode is a powerful ride through culture, controversy, and entrepreneurship. Sekou kicks things off with a satirical deep dive into the wild events of 2025—from the chaos of the NFL Draft to the fictional “Pope Draft” with Chicago’s own Pope Leo XIV at the center of scandal. Then, things get real as Sekou breaks down America’s ongoing immigration debate, the return of student loans, and what it all means for working families.
In the second half, meet Chris and Michael De La Osa—brothers, business owners, and the minds behind Grizzly. They share their unfiltered journey of building a brand rooted in family, legacy, and grit. You’ll hear about the sacrifices that come with entrepreneurship, what it really takes to scale a business, and how their immigrant upbringing shaped their fearless mindset.
In this episode, we cover:
Key Quotes:
“If your business burned down tomorrow, I want my kids to remember that I got up and did it again.”
“Most entrepreneurs are born out of pressure—you’ve got to be ready to lose it all.”
“You don’t need to be perfect. You need to do. By doing, you do."
