Show Notes

Leigh Steinberg — the legendary sports agent who inspired Jerry Maguire — joins us to offer deep insights into his new book, The Comeback: A Playbook for Turning Life’s Setbacks into Victories, and to open up about the most personal chapter of his life. Known for representing more than 300 professional athletes, including eight No. 1 overall NFL draft picks, Leigh built a powerhouse career negotiating over $4 billion in contracts and helping direct more than $750 million to charitable causes.

In this conversation, Leigh goes far beyond the highlight reel. He talks candidly about the struggles that nearly ended everything: the collapse of his firm, his battle with alcoholism, and the long, humbling road to rebuilding trust in a business where reputation is everything. As recent reporting has underscored, his comeback demanded radical transparency, humility, and the willingness to start again from the ground up.

These hard‑won experiences form the core of The Comeback, a compelling blend of behind‑the‑scenes sports stories and practical life lessons. Leigh shares how resilience, reinvention, and honesty helped him rise stronger than ever — offering a real‑world playbook for anyone facing adversity or redefining what success looks like.

A raw, inspiring conversation with one of the most influential figures in sports — and a roadmap for turning setbacks into your greatest victories.
