Why Ex Athletes Have an Unfair Business advantage — Dre Baldwin

Do former athletes have an unfair advantage in business? I sat down with Dre Baldwin, the former pro basketball player turned author and speaker behind Work On Your Game, who scored two points a game in his last year of high school and still went pro overseas.

Dre tells me why he paid $250 cash for one shot at an exposure camp, how a VHS tape he posted to YouTube in 2005 grew an audience, and how a $5 Google AdWords test from Tim Ferriss led to his first $4.99 sale and six figures a year in programs. We also get into why he calls business a strategocracy, not a meritocracy, and the six traits he says every entrepreneur needs.

He finishes with the mentor who turned a 30 minute coffee into three hours, and why Napoleon Hill's The Law of Success is the one book he'd hand you.
