This episode, I welcome the embodiment of positive energy and Director of Collegiate Sales at Teamworks, Larry Long Jr. Truly a pleasure to talk with, Larry embraces life as with two feet on the ground, an unbreakable optimism, and a readiness to choose happiness with every stride. As a sales director for athletes, he offers a wealth of advice to lead with a bright and active energy, to build a sales team of match-makers not “me-monsters”. What motivates Larry the most is his impact on others, making his schedule piled high of positive engagement with those around him, whether it be regular acts of kindness towards his social sphere, or on larger platforms like his YouTube channel, podcasts, or public speaking. It’s hard not to smile when hearing from Larry Long Jr., and even harder to leave feeling anything less than empowered to follow his lead and choose happiness.
