Tell Us A Good Story
Episode 159: Bob Beaudine
Sports Illustrated named Bob Beaudine as the “most influential man in sports you’ve never heard of.” He is the President and CEO of Eastman & Beaudine, which The Wall Street Journal labeled the “top recruiting firm in college sports.” Bob is also a highly sought-after speaker and the bestselling author of The Power of WHO! and 2 Chairs.
Bob is now only the second repeat guest on Tell Us a Good Story and has become an ambassador for the show. How many friends has he introduced to Kevin + Steph? And how does he pitch them to his friends? In this episode, Bob also shares stories about meeting Jamie Foxx, placing Deion Sanders (Coach Prime) at Colorado, and his interactions with Dabo Sweeney and Mike Krzyzewski.
However, you MUST hear the second half of this conversation as Bob details for the first time a very personal story about his family and how to overcome tragedy. Absolutely amazing!
