But he definitely played every day with his older brothers and friends!\n\nChris says he had one of the top 5 Stanley Cup parties of all time, where he invited the Sugar Ray band to come to play.\n\nOne of the biggest challenges retired athletes face is figuring out a new way to spend their time that fulfills them. When you\u2019re a professional athlete, most of your schedule is determined for you, so it\u2019s a new type of pressure once you leave.\n\nWhen he worked with the Florida Panthers as Vice President of Operations, Chris had to remove himself from the everyday wins and losses of the team in order to be an effective leader. Coming in as a former player, it was hard to delineate himself from what was happening on the ice.\n\nChris works on Well Inspired Travels with his wife, and his secret to being business partners with your spouse is to make sure you make time aside from work with the family.\n\nFor more on Chris, please visit: https://www.wellinspiredtravels.com/ \xa0and follow him on Instagram\xa0@thechrispronger\xa0\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review: \xa0\xa0https://ratethispodcast.com/thepozcast\nThis episode is brought to you by Metaview.
