In 2019 I spent $120 on custom metal cards engraved with the names of ten Carolina Panthers executives. Everyone told me it was dumb. Those cards sat in my truck for 15 months — and then they opened doors to PGA, NFL, and MLS partnerships, our largest client, and over $900,000 in revenue. And the wildest part: a former NFL president ended up working for me for six months, free. This talk is about small bets, stubborn patience, and trusting your gut when logic says no.
Best for: business conferences, entrepreneurship programs, sales teams, chambers of commerce.
