I'm interviewing the world's most famous sports agent, Leigh Steinberg

Mel,

On Thursday January 16 I’m interviewing the world’s most famous sports agent, Leigh Steinberg.

http://www.perrymarshall.com/training/leigh-steinberg/

Steinberg was the inspiration for the famous movie Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise. He’s represented the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft a record eight times, having scored record-breaking contracts again and again.

Most famous line in the movie: “Show me the money!!!”

If you’ve ever been pounded – assaulted – with one failure after another after another – Leigh is your man.

Because... after a couple of DUI’s, alcohol rehab, a massive lawsuit and a divorce, his bankruptcy filing listed his assets as a car ($6,700), a Vizio flat-screen TV ($1,000), miscellaneous personal effects ($650) and a Wells Fargo checking account containing $100. He was sharing office space with a friend.

That was only one year ago.

And now he’s staging a comeback. His new book, "The Agent: My 40-Year Career Making Deals and Changing the Game" comes out in a week. And he’s hosting another one of his world-famous Super Bowl parties.

And he’s going to talk with all of us in Planet Perry about what it’s like to get body slammed and frankly, struggle against self-destructive behavior. To be frank, LOTS of entrepreneurs have addictive personalities, it’s how we focus, it’s what makes us great.

But our addictive personality also makes us vulnerable.

That’s why Leigh has graciously agreed to speak with me openly about all he’s been through. Join me Thursday January 16 at 3pm Eastern time and eavesdrop on our candid conversation.

Show me the money – Again!
