In this week’s episode, we have the pleasure to introduce you to Severino Alvarez. Creative Engineer, Brand Developer, Stylist, and collaborator for several major fashion brands. Severino started with a passion for baseball, which developed into a passion for being a creative and a style professional. 

In addition to talking about his journey into the fashion industry, Severino also talks about the value of developing a strong network, having “Kayne Moments” and also the importance of not focusing on what others think, but rather focusing on passion & direction. 

We also attempt to navigate a White Tiger Podcast first, when Asante’s building management starts testing his building fire alarms during the podcast, which definitely added an unexpected twist to this interview.

This week former NFL Head Coach and current FOX Sports Analyst, Eric Mangini joins the show and shares a ton of great insight from his time as a NFL Head Coach, to working with New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick, Quarterback Tom Brady and the future of the NFL during this COVID-19 epidemic.

One of the toughest parts about being a NFL Head Coach is the constant criticism you receive from not just the fans, but the players, ownership and the media. Coach Mangini shares some great insight how he has navigated the criticism, shifted his perspective and how we can use the same process to  change our focus about our critics. 

Ever wonder why the New England Patriots are so successful ? Even when they may not have the most high profile players? Well, it all starts with a forward thinking mentality and a process that very few teams can duplicate. Coach talks about the Belichick “P.H.D.” process and why having an understanding of all aspects of your ”job”  can give you a significant advantage over your competitors.

We also ask Coach Mangini questions about Tom Brady’s move to Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the NFL Draft , whether he sees himself returning to the NFL in a coaching capacity and why choosing to work as an analyst for ESPN came at a very important time in his life and career. 

All of this and a ton more, in this FIRE episode of The White Tiger Podcast.

They also discuss why this is the best time to establish a routine and why this practice will build significant momentum for all of us as we get through this pandemic. 

Have you ever been in a situation where you feel like your always exhausted, tired and overworked and not any closer to your personal or professional goals ? 

Well, have you considered that maybe trying “too hard” can be actually preventing you from getting what you want.
