based on a true story
At 26, I was working in PR at the NFL League office, when I fumbled the biggest presentation of my career in front of the Commissioner.
A few minutes later I was sitting broken on a New York City stoop, not understanding what went wrong — because I had done everything right. Three things crystallized in that moment. I was playing the wrong game. Small changes could unlock everything. And as I figured it out — I would share the plays with everyone so they could win too.
The game I had mastered — the one that earned me a seat in that room — wasn't the game being played inside it. The rulebook had changed. Nobody told me. And last season's plays had just cost me everything. That wasn't a fumble at fourth and inches. This was my Fourth and Life Crisis.
From the Washington Commanders to the NFL, Tough Mudder, and Major League Soccer — nearly two decades on the sidelines, in boardrooms, and backstage at the highest levels of sports and entertainment. Super Bowls. NFL Drafts. MLS All-Star Games. White House initiatives. World Cup press tours. League executive.
I threw the corporate rulebook in the trash and built a playbook.
The boardroom was at the NFL. But the crisis? That belongs to everyone. Maybe you haven't fumbled in front of a League Commissioner. Maybe you're in finance, marketing, healthcare, tech, or media. The industry doesn't matter. The playbook does. And I can't wait to pass it to you.
