San Francisco 49ers’ Post

Thank you Calum Hopkins - I appreciate the mention, especially after so long. You know though, as the saying goes, one can lead the horse to water etc. You took the Shazam opportunity and ran with it, building on your own drive to springboard into your career. I do want to acknowledge Andrew Fisher O.B.E. for giving me the space to bring you and others in for work experience… I just wish more companies would run programs like this. #theNextGeneration #WorkExperience #Mentoring

Well more influenced by a type of advertising, which is basically influencer advertising not traditional tv advertising.

"I got student copies of the Sports Business Journal." 📖 SBJ I Factor presented by Allied Sports, features Chris Allphin, Executive VP at Elevate. Allphin, a member of #SBJ's Forty Under 40 class of 2015, sat down with Bret McCormick to talk about his introduction into the sports industry, his evolution as a leader, and the importance of protecting the live experience in sports. 🎧: https://sbjsbd.biz/46Zneg3

Many of us say, "If I can just reach one person in the room" on the leadership journey. This has been an essential tool to encourage me to continue my journey. After branching out and taking the big step of being a podcast guest and sharing my unique view of leadership, I wondered if any of my teammates watched the podcast. I got my answer from a teammate who shared his thoughts on the podcast with me. After he left my office, it was clear I "reached one person" and inspired them. These types of interactions are essential in our leadership journey and can help us continue the journey. I hope this post helps another person BELIEVE they can "unearth the true boldness within!" #BELIEVE2024, #TrueBold #Leadership #Leadershipjourney #leedon

Grateful for the opportunity to participate in the NFLPA HBCU Symposium! 🏈✨ It was an enriching experience filled with valuable insights and knowledge. From networking with industry professionals to learning about the latest trends, I'm excited to apply what I've gained to my career journey. Huge thanks to the NFLPA and all involved for this incredible opportunity! #NFLPA #HBCU #ProfessionalDevelopment"

As I mentioned last week, I have played and loved sports from a young age. As I'm sure many of you can attest, sports can teach us so much about ourselves, other people, and how to lead. I thought it would be fun to share some of the lessons learned from the sports. The first person that came to mind was Willis Reed. Willis Reed was an amazing player on the NY Knicks (if you didn't already know...). But one moment in particular showcased his leadership and resilience. We've all heard of Michael Jordan's Flu Game, but in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, Reed suited up and sank the first two baskets despite having a broken leg. His dedication to showing up for his team inspired them to victory. For me, it's a reminder that we don't need to be perfect leaders, but instead, we can just show up consistenly for our people. Don't have the best skills for this project? Help your team. Figure out where you fit in & just show up. #Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Sports

Scouting is about people and more specifically developing young people to become the kind of people we want in our neighborhoods, companies, and leadership positions. When you hear Alex’s story, you can understand how powerful Scouting can be. The impact expands far beyond the Troop!

This is allyship in action.
