Several years ago, I asked Rob Reiner how it was possible that he - the director of some of the greatest movies of our time - had never won an Oscar. I loved his response

From Dreams to Reality, I’m a Cleveland Brown! From before I could remember, my goals and aspirations were to make it to the National Football League, and I mfin made it! I could never be in this position without my amazing family, friends and coaches that have been by my side…

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of my friend Junior Bridgeman. I had the privilege of playing against him, and I’ll never forget how he had one of the sweetest jump shots in the NBA. But it was his character, his kindness, and his gentle soul that truly left a lasting impression on me. He was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet.   What people don’t realize is Junior didn’t make a fortune as a player, but he turned what he earned into something extraordinary, becoming a billionaire African American businessman in this country. His business portfolio included owning 450 Wendy’s and Chili’s franchises in 20 states, Coca-Cola bottling operations in the US and Canada, Ebony and Jet magazines, Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, and he was a minority owner of the Milwaukee Bucks. Junior also served on the boards of PGA of America, Churchill Downs Inc, Fifth Third Bank, Jackson Hewitt, Governors Scholar Program, Crusade for Children Foundation, University of Louisville’s Board of Trustees, Louisville Arena Authority, and more. He is the blueprint to so many current and former athletes across sports that success doesn’t end when you're done playing.   Beyond business, Junior and his wife Doris made a lasting impact by opening doors for African Americans at the Kentucky Derby. Through their annual pre-Derby party and fundraising efforts, they gave access to so many, including myself, to experience this iconic event - something that had historically been out of reach for many in our community.   Thank you, Junior, for being an inspiration on how to be a man, a husband, a father, and a businessman. You spent so much of your post-playing career mentoring and educating athletes and I always reference your journey when I speak to young athletes about transitioning from the court or field to the boardroom. Your legacy will transcend beyond your financial success to the doors you opened for so many and inspiring generations to come. Rest in peace, my friend. Cookie and I will be praying for his wife Doris, kids Eden, Justin, and Ryan, and the entire Bridgeman family 🙏🏾

In 2012, Canva founder Melanie Perkins was rejected by investors more than 100 times. “Most people said they weren’t quite ready,” she said. She waited 3 more years for the first investment. Today, Canva is worth nearly $50 billion.

It is definitely different today. How about these records of Head Coaches in their first two years: Chuck Noll 6-24 Bill Walsh 8-24 Tom Landry 4-20-2 That’s 9 Super Bowls that wouldn’t have been won today because they would have never made it to their third year.
