Dhani Jones - Adventures in Sports, Business, and Investing - [Invest Like the Best, EP.63]

Published: Nov. 14, 2017, 10:30 a.m.

b'My guest this week is unique. As you will hear early and often, he is programmed to go his own way, to, as he says, go one way when everyone else is going another. His name is Dhani Jones, a name I knew as a Notre Dame football fan, because he won a championship with our arch-rivals, the University of Michigan, in the late 90\\u2019s. Dhani went on to a long and successful career in the NFL, but even more interesting has been his many pursuits in business and investing outside of football. Like my conversation with Tim Urban, I\\u2019ll remember this conversation as a reminder to use a first principles mindset. Dhani seems to have this fresh mindset baked into his character, and as you\\u2019ll hear this has led to many a great adventure. Please enjoy my conversation with athlete, businessman, investor, philanthropist, movie buff, and bowtie wearer, Dhani Jones.\\n \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\n For more episodes go to InvestorFieldGuide.com/podcast.\\n To get involved with Project Frontier, head to InvestorFieldGuide.com/frontier.\\n Sign up for the book club, where you\\u2019ll get a full investor curriculum and then 3-4 suggestions every month at InvestorFieldGuide.com/bookclub.\\n Follow Patrick on Twitter at @patrick_oshag\\n \\xa0\\n Show Notes\\n 1:30 - (First Question) \\u2013 \\xa0A introduction into Dhani Jones and everything he\\u2019s done\\n 5:35 \\u2013 How did Dhani change throughout his football career\\n 9:55 \\u2013 The power of your mind in every aspect of life\\n 10:34 \\u2013 Most memorable experience in the NFL\\n 13:10 \\u2013 Making the transition from the NFL to the business world\\n 18:20 \\u2013 Looking at Bowtie Cause\\n 22:40 \\u2013 The role of creative agencies in Dhani\\u2019s ventures and why story telling is so important for him\\n 26:48 \\u2013 Looking at some of the TV stuff that Dhani has done, particularly around travel\\n 28:21 \\u2013 Dhani\\u2019s favorite movie\\n 30:35 \\u2013 Back to the joy of travel and \\u201cDhani Tackles the Globe.\\u201d\\n 36:54 \\u2013 How does Dhani think about risk\\n 38:56 \\u2013 Some of the other sports and activities Dhani did while filming his show\\n 41:45 \\u2013 The psychological benefit of travel in your personal and business life\\n 44:41 \\u2013 Looking into the business part of Dhani\\u2019s career\\n 51:19 \\u2013 How to expand diversity in the financial world\\n 54:56 \\u2013 Kindest thing anyone has done for Dhani\\n \\xa0\\n Learn More\\n For more episodes go to InvestorFieldGuide.com/podcast.\\xa0\\n Sign up for the book club, where you\\u2019ll get a full investor curriculum and then 3-4 suggestions every month at InvestorFieldGuide.com/bookclub\\n Follow Patrick on twitter at @patrick_oshag'
