Boom, shake the room, Fire Nation. JLD here and welcome to Entrepreneurs on Fire, brought to you by High Level, the all-in-one sales and marketing platform. Today we'll be breaking down from athlete to agent, lessons from elite competition into business success. And to drop these value bombs, I brought Donnie McGrath into Eo Fire Studios. Donnie is the CEO and co-founder of Lift.

Sports Management, a fast-growing athlete representation agency serving MBA, NFL, WMBA, NIL, and international clients. And of course, he's a graduate of my college. He's an alumni like me of Providence College, Go Friars.
