Are you looking to achieve and impact more? Do you want strategies to enhance your day-to-day effectiveness? Do you want to know the keys to being a great leader? Our special guest Cameron Campbell (Coach Cam) is here to answer these and many other questions about entrepreneurship, leadership, success and failure.

Cameron Campbell is a sports enthusiast and a serial and social entrepreneur. He’s spoken more than 1000 times to many sports and philanthropic organizations, including the NFL, the NBA, and Major League Baseball. He played Division I football at the University of Houston, and he’s turned his passion for sports into a career serving students as an athletic director and head coach.

He now empowers others as a business consultant and owns an organization called Texas Athletics Construction. He’s got a new book coming out this year called Win the First Quarter of Your Day: Playbook for Wealth, Health and Success.

Here’s what we love – Cameron is affectionately known as Coach Cam and is often described as a servant.

Listen in as Coach Cam shares his wisdom and experience in connecting sports leadership to business success.
