CDL-011In this week’s episode of the Crazy Dad Life podcast, Jeff discusses leadership traits of the point guard position in basketball and how it applies to your family, career, and side business.

The 5TIL (5 Things I Learned) from last week include discussion related to:

  • The new Twitter layout
  • Ronald McDonald’s makeover
  • Entrepreneur suing anyone using “Entrepreneur” in their business (e.g. Entrepreneur on Fire)
  • Facebook cover photo size
  • Picmonkey templates

When approaching your personal and professional life, it’s important to serve in multiple capacities. After watching numerous NBA playoff games recently, Jeff reflects on the role of a point guard and why you should strive to be one in your own life.

This includes being…

  • a leader
  • a problem solver
  • agile
  • a tranquilizer
  • a distributor
  • tenacious
  • someone who exceeds expectations

What position would you choose to best represent the role you play in your family, career, and side business?

    Great episode Jeff! I’m not even a basketball fan but I could relate to their role and how it really is important to play the part for our families! Excellent comparison 🙂

      Thanks Crystal! I tried to keep it generic enough that even those that don’t like basketball could understand. Good to know it worked! Do you have a favorite sport…besides oil paints 😉

        Hey Jeff! I’d have to say I think my favorite sport would be poker… is that a sport ;)? Joking aside… right now my daughter is into swimming so that’s the sport du jour of our home 🙂
