The Color of Money | Transformative Conversations for Wealth Building 93. From the NFL to Real Life: What Great Leaders Really Do with Michael Pitre
What does leadership look like when it's grounded in love, high standards, and real connection?
In this episode of The Color of Money, we sit down with NFL coach Michael Pitre to explore what it means to lead at the highest level—on the field and in life. From his early days as an athlete to coaching pros in the NFL, Michael shares how his experiences shaped his leadership philosophy.
He unpacks the challenges of coaching Gen Z, why the word "leadership" can be intimidating, and how reframing it as "influence" opens new doors. Michael explains why meeting people where they are matters, how tailored feedback drives performance, and how love and high expectations can coexist in powerful ways.
Whether you're mentoring athletes, building a business, or guiding a team, this conversation is full of real talk about what leadership looks like when it’s done with clarity, empathy, and purpose.
