Description

In this episode, guest David Meltzer, a legendary sports executive, entrepreneur and investor, shares deep lessons from his rebound story of losing hundreds of millions of dollars in the 2008 real estate crash, to becoming the highly regarded success mentor he is to so many now.

With humility and wisdom, he advises to “get out of my way and ask for help.” Admitting he was once narcissistic and ego-driven, David said it took him 10 years to learn the bigger lesson of the defining moment that gave meaning to his life.

He is in a men’s group now and surrounds himself with “high frequency people” such as Gary Vaynerchuk, Ed Mylett and Lewis Howes. 

Topics covered in this interview:

• Getting turned down by the bank David trusted when he needed to leverage $40 million, and how it later made him a better person.
• A glimpse into the history of the Houston Texans, who were never the Oilers, despite what some believed.
• David’s business relationship at Sports 1 Marketing with Warren Moon, HOF quarterback of the Houston Oilers. 
• John is a co-investor with Aaron Rodgers, Roddy White and a number of other high-profile football players.
• David’s previous background included working on the legal team of Samsung while its phone division was going public, and at another billion company in 1995 while he was fresh out of law school.  He was later hired for his expertise in “intermarrying sports with technology”--becoming CEO of the renowned Leigh (“Lee”) Steinberg Sports & Entertainment agency, which was the inspiration for the movie Jerry Maguire.
• David believes success is about building community, and he is drawn to working with open-minded people with humility, who can be either power sponsors (those who can help him) or sponsors (someone who knows someone who can help).
• He offers a template for those to complete to be considered in his community, once he knows they have an open mind. Some questions include:

–What are you doing?

–What do you like about it?

–What don’t you like about it? (which is an opportunity for David to see if this person could be a power sponsor or sponsor).

• David’s paradigm shift from a world of trade negotiation (give to receive) to a world of abundance, which he believes comes from a value-added approach. He asks others for help, not because he necessarily needs it, but because “the more I receive, the more I can give.”
• He also recommends “feeding those who feed you.”
• For the past 22 years, David has been offering free weekly live trainings. To register for his “Road to Revenue & Success” trainings, featuring practical and tactical advice, visit: https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1?_ga.
