Super Bowl Week was a great reminder that "your net worth is your network."
No matter how good or bad the times may get, our ability to learn from each other remains one of our greatest strengths. Keep networking, keep learning, and keep asking questions — because there is only one way to make a difference in the world, and that is doing it together.
Here's a little recap:
- Joined a panel on athlete career transitions at Dr. Barbara Lash's Speak Off, sharing the stage with nonprofit leader Shelton Banks, Houston Texans fullback Jakob Johnson, and nonprofit consultant Asia Richardson.
- Attended The Players Impact Business Kick-Off to see fellow Bostonian Tracy Deforge continue her mission of elevating the athlete community, and spent time with Steve Bono discussing how we bring financial knowledge to our contingency.
- Caught up with Eddie Gill and one of my oldest friends, Preetam Sen, at the Excel Sports Management party.
- Returned to the NFL Player Care Foundation Career Fair to watch A.J. Forbes and Laura Camila Rivera level up this impactful event — and see Erik Berkule crush his panel.
- Connected with Marcus Peterson and Quentin Gause, two people constantly raising the bar for what's possible beyond football, and spent time with Kendall Williamson, who is paving his future path while still playing in the NFL.
- Talked shop with Larry Fitzgerald Jr. about the business resume he's built off the field, and caught up with Malcolm Butler about his community involvement and high school coaching.
- Experienced the legendary Leigh Steinberg party for the first time, connecting with leaders across sports and health.
Shout out to all the great people I had the pleasure to meet for the first time or catch up with. The Pathways Foundation will not stop preaching this!
