Mark Schlereth — NFL's Renaissance Man on Sacrifice & Building an Enduring Culture in Business

Just in time for the NFL draft, 12-year NFL veteran and TV football analyst, Mark Schlereth, joins The Game Plan from Denver, CO to discuss everything from why the NFL Combine is flawed, to the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur and investor.

3x Super Bowl Champion, Mark “Stink” Schlereth is best known for his esteemed career in both professional football (Denver Broncos, Washington Redskins) and sports media (ESPN, FS1), but did you know he once negotiated his way out of the grocery store stocking fee for his “Stinkin’ Good” brand green chile sauce? Listen in as Mark recounts the exhilarating feeling of closing his company's first customer to the challenge of being faced with a deal-breaking financial reality.

In this episode we talk with Mark about how lessons learned on the football field have influenced his post-career success, and how his perseverance and ability to bring teams together have helped in any setting. Not to be missed, we learn about the time Mark attached a weightlifting plate to his body in order to make the Redskins' roster.

Lastly, we dig in on Mark's new endeavor, "Mark's All Pros", a platform for discovering, vetting, and rating companies for hire.
