Capital Ideas Podcast

Welcome to “The Power of Advice.” In this limited series, we’ve lined up industry leaders, business innovators and entrepreneurs to share their journeys of building brands, reinventing careers and learning lessons. In our first episode, we hear from Larry Fitzgerald, 11-time Pro Bowl wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. Larry joins Mike Gitlin to tell how the experience of interning at a financial services firm one offseason led to the founding of Larry Fitzgerald Enterprises, which has since notched over 200 investments. He discusses why he prefers early-stage investing and shares the advice he gives young people — including his own sons — about embracing discomfort as a path to growth. #CapGroupGlobal      For full disclosures, go to capitalgroup.com/global-disclosures.          For our latest insights, practice management ideas and more, subscribe to Capital Ideas at getcapitalideas.com.
