- Entrepreneurship
This week for our 25th episode John welcomes NHL legend Jeremy Roenick to the show to discuss his iconic career, the many evolutions in the sport of hockey, and his outspoken position on everything from NHL refs, the toxicity of social media, and the challenges and rewards that come with entrepreneurship and investing.
Jeremy Roenick is a former professional hockey player who played the majority of his career in Chicago alongside fellow legends Chris Chelios and Ed Belfour. He was drafted 8th overall in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft by the Blackhawks, for whom he played from 1988 to 1996. Roenick subsequently played for the Phoenix Coyotes, Philadelphia Flyers, Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks over the course of his 20 year career. He also represented Team USA in several international tournaments including The Olympic Games. On November 10, 2007, Jeremy became only the third American-born player to score 500 goals. After retiring in 2009, Roenick joined NBC Sports as a hockey analyst and in 2010 began his path towards furthering his entrepreneurial goals.
This was a wide ranging chat that includes exploring Jeremy’s many experiences both on and off the ice. We dive into everything from broadcasting, entrepreneurship, and real estate investment. Jeremy reflects on the challenges that came with being drafted at the age of 18, his infamous Blackhawks trade, and his true thoughts about that controversial decision that led him to Phoenix, Philadelphia, LA, and eventually San Jose. In addition, John talks with Jeremy about his experiences at NBC and how ultimately… “the media created a Jeremy Roenick that really does not exist.”
Listeners will also hear about Jeremy’s newest entrepreneurial journey, co-founding Whiskey in the Wild, a high-end, triple distilled, blended chocolate whiskey that aims to appeal to a diverse audience of spirit lovers who may not think of whiskey as their drink of choice. Jeremy breaks down the company's love for their creation, insistence on quality, and shares their vision for providing a deliciously drinkable whiskey that is not your grandpa's jet fuel.
