This episode—which originally took place as a live event—is a conversation between Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner and CFI Cultural Leadership Fund partner Chris Lyons. Wagner is known for his power on the field and his business acumen off it. Last year, he negotiated his own three-year, $54 million contract extension to become the highest-paid middle linebacker in the NFL. In this candid conversation, Wagner and Lyons discuss how to identify standout companies and talent (for better or worse), the growing influence of cultural leaders in tech, and the potential of “shared genius.”
Chris Lyons is President, Web3 Media at CFI crypto.
