Sports Super Agent Leigh Steinberg
Leigh Steinberg is probably the most notable agent in the history of sports. He's often credited with being the real-life inspiration for the movie Jerry Maguire. He really doesn't really want to talk about movies or his star-studded roster of clients over the years - from Troy Aikman to Pat Mahomes. What he wants to talk about is being sober for more than a decade and how he did it. It's an incredible tale that could be a motion picture of its own. Leigh's story is also a real tailwind, for anyone struggling or looking to get sober.

Tim Brooks was one of the nation's top high school lacrosse recruits, from a great family, living in one of America's most affluent suburbs. But when he showed up on Good Morning America, it wasn't because he'd won a college lacrosse title, it was because he was likely headed to prison for being the No. 2 man in a drug ring who's takedown made national headlines. Seven years sober, Tim talks with Pete about the wild ride and speaks about trading a life of 'taking' in addiction, to a life of 'giving' in sobriety.
