When Dave had this topic and episode in mind he knew that it would be an easy sell to Mat since the initial concept was around Tom Brady. So for a rare episode we do focus a bit on sports but even for those that arent into football or know much it will still be a worthwhile listen we promise!
During the Leadership Series we did earlier this year, Lauren Vaccarello brought up the topic of moving companies and bringing past coworkers with you.
Lauren walks through how to build credibility, attract talent and how she has handled doing both over the years.
Tom Brady and the recent flood of players coming out of retirement or taking small contracts to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is a real life example of this playing out.
Then there is one of the best Tight Ends ever, Rob Gronkowski who retired and then signed to play - mostly because Tom Brady went to the Bucs.
We of course often see this with CMOs and CEOs bringing people along with them from one company to another as they move for good reason. These are people they trust, know what they are doing and that can get the job done.
Lebron and Jordan
If by chance you are a fan of the NBA instead, think of when Lebron James moves teams and all those that try and play with him. Or years ago if Jordan was to go somewhere - people would follow knowing the was going to lead the team and have a high chance of winning.
Company Alumni Groups & Support
Avalaunch and Seer Interactive both have some alumni group that looks at the long term of helping employees. The example Dave recently found was by John Faris of Red Door Interactive.
