Today, I’m speaking with Darius Foroux. Darius’s work has been featured in Time, NBC, the Observer, and the Economist. He’s also the host of The Darius Foroux Show: Mindset, Business, Money, which is available on all podcast platforms. Darius teaches online classes on wealth building and has written eight books, including his newest work, The Stoic Path to Wealth: Ancient Wisdom for Enduring Prosperity. In his new book, Darius applies ancient wisdom to the chaos of the modern-day market. He investigates how discipline, emotional distance, and self-mastery–techniques passed down over thousands of years–give us the tools to live better financial lives and weather economic storms today.  In this conversation, we explore how his experience as an immigrant helped shape his financial philosophy, why Stoicism is so uniquely suited to making sense of modern-day problems, and the beauty of staying on this path to build a purposeful life and legacy.

Today, I'm speaking with Mike Golic Sr. Mike's career in the NFL began when he was drafted in the 10th round as a defensive lineman in the 1985 NFL draft. He has since gone on to have tremendous success in sports media as the cohost of Mike & Mike on ESPN and currently cohosts Gojo and Golic with his son, Mike Jr., at DraftKings.  He coauthored Mike and Mike's Rules for Sports and Life with Mike Greenberg and had millions of fans tuning into their sports-talk radio show on ESPN. You'll hear he transitioned from the playing field to land his first gig calling college games for ESPN and earning less money than his first year in the NFL and the support he had from his wife to pursue his new passion. In our conversation, we explore how to navigate those transitions with grace, the unique challenges professional athletes (and entrepreneurs) face after their careers come to an often sudden end, and the lessons he learned from his parents to "find a way and figure it out" which stuck with him as he ventured into new territory after his playing career. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: How Mike’s parents, the challenges of sports, and the rigors of academia helped teach him the value of hard work and make him the person he is today. Why our definition of success has to change as we age–and how it changed for Mike as he left the NFL and ESPN to enjoy life as a parent and grandparent. How NFL players are forced into retirement by the NFL and how changed his focus to providing for his family in the new arena of sports media. The impact that career transitions have had on Mike’s relationship with his wife of almost 40 years–and his advice for staying in sync as you move on to the next step. Why Mike’s family is at the heart of his purpose. Our Market Outlook Webinar is live! Visit https://bit.ly/4bmHkUb to register.
