The Mike Alkin Show

leadership and investing

Today’s show offers a fun twist: investment advice from non-investors… And it’s part one of a two-part series. Mike will release part two on Friday for your weekend reading, so be sure to check your inbox.

Just as art imitates life… football imitates leadership and investing.

Even if you’ve never played the game… even if you’re not a fan… there are valuable lessons to be learned.

Today’s guest is Angus Reid, 13-year Canadian Football League (CFL) pro and two-time Grey Cup champion [21:33]. He’s also the author of Thank You Coach, which details the lessons he learned playing for mentor and coach, Dan Dorazio.

Checklists… preparation… learning in reverse… staying calm under pressure…

These are just a few of the topics we explore to help you become a better leader… and investor.
