What is the biggest challenge that you and other leaders are facing today?

What is the biggest challenge that you and other leaders are facing today? What can be learned through these experiences and adversities?

I think one of the biggest challenge is finding passionate people. We live in a society with so
much data and so much information that people are just becoming so paralyzed. They're not
passionate about anything, and they're living in a constant fog-filled state of existence. They don't get
anything done. It's amazing, you walk down the street, how many people are staring at their iPhones,
or they're talking on the phone. In reality, what is that doing? It's not doing much. You can only check
Facebook so much. You can only check your email so much. But, that's what our society has come to;
staring at your palm. Your palm doesn't really have all the answers.

I think one of the keys is to get more people engaged and energized. How do you make the work that
they're doing more exciting? How do you incent them? But, I don't think the way we do,  is like the
way it's always been done. I think we're getting closer and closer through time and through technology.

​Is there a correlation between leadership in sports and business? If so, what are the similarities?


I definitely think so. I also believe it may not just be in sport. It could be in art. It could be in
music. It could be in computer programming. It could be in anything that you're passionate about.

I think one of the keys to success in leadership is to be able to be a leader outside of what you just do
on a professional level. Is it raising money? Are you a philanthropist? Are you doing not-for-profit
work? I think that passion that you have outside of work can always come back to the passions that
you do inside of work. You can take many of those character traits - they're really mutually beneficial,
both in the professional world and in the sport, or like what I was saying, in art, music, or anything like
that that changes your mind. That allows you to be passionate. That allows you to be someone who
you really are.

I think those similarities are there. Sometimes sport is an individual sport, or sometimes it's a team
sport. Having the ability to throw it out there - to put it all on the line - is key for success both in
business, sport, and whatever you're passionate about. So if you can teach someone to get out of their
comfort zone, you'll forever change their lives.
