From the White House to Lambeau Field. Nine NFL seasons, an MBA, three board seats, and almost two decades of stages — corporate keynotes, healthcare convenings, and sustainability rooms nationwide. I learn your audience before I show up, and the talk I gave last week isn't the one I give yours.
Each one adapts to your room — leadership offsite, all-hands, conference main stage, or board dinner.
Resilience & reinvention. Ovie grew up the son of a physician, expected to follow. He chose a different field — then had to reinvent again when football ended. The clarity and courage it takes to leave the expected path, survive the pivot, and build the next thing.
Selfless leadership & teams. A fullback's job is making other people successful — every block is for someone else's highlight. What nine NFL seasons in the least glamorous position teach about selfless leadership, trust, and the collective commitment real teams run on.
Sustained excellence. The hard part isn't arriving — it's what you do after. How to refuse complacency, keep raising your own standard, and build the internal drive that outlasts the applause.
A short, verifiable list — each row links to a source, so your board can confirm before the contract.
Real stories from nine NFL seasons and almost two decades of business, boards, and advocacy. Specific moments, specific lessons, no clichés.
I learn your audience and your moment before I show up. A 15-minute prep call with the host is part of every booking.
I take real questions. No prep, no filter. The Q&A is often the part the audience remembers.
Years of network TV — FOX Sports, CBS Radio, ESPYs red carpet. If your event is filmed, streamed, or press-covered, that's comfortable ground.
