    • Sports

You never know what will come up next, like in sport, life changes and moves quickly and slowly at the same time. Hear Michael's story of playing professional football and how that prepared him for his "2nd career." He drops some wisdom from the ups and downs in his youth, as a pro and now as an entrepreneur and founder of Sphere. 


Highlights from the Show:


The only thing in life that's certain is change! (6:05)
With every season you're always starting over
Your network is your net worth.
Everything I know is through soccer. I couldn't imagine having a better education than playing professional soccer! (15:28)
Being self-aware is really important, grow to understand who you are and what makes you tick.
Play a great game!
Mentorship is really powerful! Success leaves clues. Read. Learn from others. There was always someone along the way who came alongside me. (33:27)
