The DLC Drop Podcast

What It Takes To Build a Company That Attracts Investors Like Mark Cuban and Alex Rodriguez


Listen Later

Today's episode is a bit different for many reasons. I'm joined by Chris Gronkowski, former NFL player, Founder & CEO of our first sponsor, Ice Shaker, and the participant of one of ABC's Shark Tank most viewed episodes, where he landed a deal for $150k for a 15% stake with Mark Cuban and Alex Rodriguez.
Our conversation revolves around three major topics: Chris's experiences as an NFL player, the decision to start his business and how it exploded after Shark Tank, and how his gamer past helped him open the gates of the industry to Ice Shaker. 
We delve into the details of what it takes to become an NFL player, the pros and cons from a financial standpoint, the risks, and the devastating effects on players' mental and physical health. Chris shared details of his experience at ABC's Shark Tank and learned lessons as an entrepreneur. Chris also talked about his past as a Halo and Counter Striker player and how he realized his product was a perfect fit for gamers.
