    Jason Zucker - Minnesota Wild

    If you knew nothing about Jason Zucker except that he was a professional athlete, born in Newport Beach, CA, and grew in Las Vegas, Nevada, what sport would you think he played?   Maybe he is on the PGA tour? He kind of looks like a baseball player maybe he plays in the MLB? Or maybe he is the Las Vegas version of Spud Webb!  Based on where he is from the last sport you would think of is Ice Hockey.  But it is Ice Hockey.  He is a left-winger for the Minnesota Wild in the NHL.  Zucker was drafted in the second round(59th overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft by Wild. This is how he got here.

    Gavin Kaysen - Chef, Founder of Spoon and Stable, Bellecour, and Demi

    At 7 years old Gavin Kaysen saw what the power of food could do. He saw this making cookies with his grandma. Food can make people smile. This started his love for cooking. Playing youth sports helped him for years after he was done. The lesson learned permeates through his business and life. He learned about culture from his Little League coach Pete Carroll(Seattle Seahawks Head Coach) and how professional athletes handle wins and losses. Like in sports, all it takes is one person to see something in you. That person was a restaurant owner who found Gavin in a Subway making sandwiches as a teenager.  This love for food transpired into multiple critically acclaimed restaurants and provided meals for the Minnesota Wild.

    Mike Tamte - Co-Founder Evereve

    The Evereve Journey started in a women's dressing room in a San Fransico clothing store.  A young mom by the name Megan Tamte felt overwhelmed and alone!  This is not how a young mother should feel about her shopping experience.  Megan knew that the clothing options for young moms were extremely limited and the experience was miserable for a mom toting around her children. She knew that this needed to change. She shared her vision with Mike Tamte.  After much discussion, they decided to go for it.  Mike tells how playing sports impacted his leadership and how he and Megan went from an idea to 90 stores.  This is how he got here.

He got it from friends with whom he grew up and the White Bear Lake Hockey Association. Mike Carter was a linebacker at St. Agnes, coached Ryan as a kid and hoped his son, a quarterback, would follow in his footsteps. But Ryan Carter's heart was in hockey. In his sophomore year, Ryan's football coach pressured him to pick one sport or the other. "He said, 'I don't want you skating during football season.' He said, 'Stop, or you won't be playing football.' So I said, 'Then, I won't be playing football," Listen as Ryan tells us about getting bullied, dealing with injuries and playing in the Stanley Cup Finals.
