How I got my job with Mark Zablow

Episode 7 with Brad Griffiths https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-griffiths-38b5579 How does a 17-year-old break into the workforce? Brad Griffiths had no clue either - but the combination of hard work, being friendly and being a money getter put Brad in a position to work for McCann at a young age - in a sports role nonetheless. Brad is a money getter. I interviewed Brad for a job at Platinum Rye Entertainment and quickly learned Brad was here to get money - he had done his research, knew his value in the marketplace and firmly justified how hiring him at this $ level will put him in position to get money - and get money he did. No experience/no problem, no fear of failure, and being conscious of the world around you are some of the gems Brad shares on his experience working in the business of sports Shout out to Scott Mayo, Shout out to Rick Reilly, Shout out to good luck Rest in Power Sonya Smalls Recorded 6/18/2018

I will always remember two records in football history. Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in one game, and Kahlil Keys holds the longest rushing touchdown from scrimmage at Yale University. Who is Kahlil Keys? I asked myself the same question when he stopped me on the street 3 summers ago to reintroduce himself to me. Today, Kahlil is the Manager of Global Partnerships at Legends, but when I interviewed Kahlil he was still working at Major League Baseball. In all my years I have never met someone so focused and disciplined. It has been a pleasure to watch him execute. Working hard + working smart, and connecting with the right people has helped Kahlil off the field. From the graveyard shift, to record-setting runs at Yale, to MLB, to his work at Legends, Kahlil embodies the spirit of someone who knows what it takes to get a job.

In the business of sport, survival is sometimes just as good as winning. For Magma Global's CEO Mark Rothman, survival meant summers at the DA's office wheeling a TV across the street from courthouse to courthouse - all at the age of 14. Being creative, humble, and hungry got Mark his foot in the door with very heavy industry power brokers like Innovative Artists, Scott Rudin Productions, and Platinum Rye Entertainment where he mastered many unique business and relationship building skills. Mark is one of the smartest people in the game who comes with an unparalleled network of access - along with having the best holiday card year after year. shout out to family, shout out to the printer, shout out to handsome Pete, shout out to entertainmentcareers.net https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-rothman-magma-global/ Recorded on 10/20/17
