- Business
HotChat goes on field with Pro Football Hall of Famer, businessman and entrepreneur Emmitt Smith. President & CEO Sharon Pinder sits down to have a pointed talk with Mr. Smith, the Chairman of E. Smith Advisors, about lessons learned along the road to success.
Emmitt Smith is a professional football icon and one of the greatest to ever play the game. In his 15 seasons as a running back in the National Football League, Smith amassed many records that still stand today, including most career rushing yards and most career rushing touchdowns.
After his playing days, Smith served as a football analyst and then took his television career a step further when he won the third season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, during which he was dubbed “the king of effortless cool.” He also added author to his list of accomplishments, publishing Game On, which outlines the principles that helped him succeed both on and off the field.
Smith then transitioned to the role of businessman and entrepreneur and runs several companies spanning real estate, construction, and technology. He is active in charitable outreach in the Dallas area and on a national level, providing educational opportunities and unique experiences for underserved youth.
We hope you enjoy HotChat Minority Business Connections.
