Welcome back to The Marketing Corner, where we dive deep into entrepreneurship, marketing, and business success! In this high-energy, action-packed episode, I sit down with David Adams, former University of Arizona Wildcat football player who went on to play in the NFL and CFL, along with my co-host, David Bradley, to break down some game-changing insights for business owners. ??

What do the worlds of sports and business have in common? A lot more than you might think! From the mental toughness of an athlete to the strategic mindset of a business owner, we explore the winning principles that translate from the field to the boardroom.

✅ The Mindset of a Champion in Business & Sports – How top athletes and entrepreneurs stay focused, disciplined, and ready for challenges.
✅ Lessons from the Gridiron – David Adams shares how his time playing for the Arizona Wildcats, the NFL, and CFL shaped his approach to business.
✅ Why Every Business Needs a “Team” Mentality – Success isn’t a solo game; it’s about surrounding yourself with the right people, mentors, and strategies.

Are you a small business owner looking for investors? Or wondering what it takes to secure funding from private investors? In this episode, we break down:

? What investors are REALLY looking for – Beyond the numbers, what makes a business attractive to an investor?
? How to make your business “investment-ready” – Key factors that increase your chances of getting funded.
