Bestselling author Jon Gordon talks with sports agent Kelli Masters. Kelli shares her journey of going from fear driven to purpose driven (and how you can do the same). A few quoteables from this interview: Don’t ever let someone tell you that you are not enough. Focus on what makes you different because that's what makes you great. People ask me how I've grown my business, the answer is one relationship at a time. Under promise and over deliver. Be honest. Tell people the truth, especially when you don't know the answer. Social networking isn't just about LinkedIn or Facebook... it's about developing real relationships with others. You must have a picture of where you are going to help keep you stay anchored during tough times. Your team doesn't have to all think alike but they must have a shared vision and purpose. Fear is best overcome through action. You usually have to step out before the courage comes. Speak life. Encourage others every chance you can. ---- Kelli Masters is widely recognized as one of the most influential women in sports business. She has represented more professional athletes than any woman in the industry, having served as agent/contract adviser to players in every NFL draft since 2006 as well as numerous players in the MLB draft. In 2010, she made history as the first woman to represent a first round pick in the NFL Draft. As her reputation for outstanding work continues to grow and inspire countless others, she has further expanded the reach of KMM Sports to other athletes and celebrities.

In this episode of Positive University we're sharing a special message from bestselling author and reinvention strategist, Marshawn Evans Daniels. A few quoteable takeaways from Marshawn include: We are created on purpose, with purpose from a place of purpose for a purpose. If you don't know your purpose, you're not alone. You have to FACE IT to FIX IT. We're taught retirement instead of reinvention. We're taught to pursue success instead of significance and careers instead of calling. Don't get sick with the disease, the Disease to Please (other people). Who you decided to be isn't always who God designed you to be. Believe bigger. Don't believe the label that's a fable of who you really are. Labels often limit. Do you have the Purpose Tug? That feeling like there is more? There's a reason (because there is). Every Life Shift first begins with a Mind Shift. Your life is not your own. What can you do to serve others? Believe bigger. Live bolder.

Tony Dungy is a father of ten, author, retired NFL coach, and National Spokesman for @AllProDad. In this episode of Positive University, Jon Gordon talks with Tony about life, teamwork and success. A few quoteables from Tony include: Life is like a movie. You don't know how it's going to end. What you see right now is just a snapshot. A moment (good or bad) doesn't have to define you. A team with a common bond working for a common purpose is hard to beat. When you're playing for each other vs yourself, you're more likely to win. Who can we help? <- A good way to approach life. Look at it like you're helping someone vs just being their boss. Your job as a leader is to help those you lead to get better. Often you don't know it at the time but the adversity you face now is training you for a better future tomorrow. Success to me is doing everything you can do with the skills and the gifts God gives you.
