Jon Brod had a job most people would kill for: a marketing executive at the NBA who helped launch the Toronto Raptors.

But he gave it all up to become an entrepreneur. In this episode, Jon shares the hard-won lessons from his journey, from the court to the startup world.

We discuss how to calculate risk, the power of market positioning, and why the most successful people are the ones willing to be uncomfortable.

If you're an entrepreneur or a leader looking to make your mark, this episode is packed with actionable insights and the kind of contrarian thinking that separates the good from the great.
