Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Chad Steele

There’s really no off-season for the NFL and people want NFL 365 days-a-yearSocial media can be both a blessing and a curse

Spent most of his life overseas and really enjoyed moving and getting to experience other placesSports was always big in his family with both parents being athletic and his dad, Gary Steele, was the first African-American football player at Army in 1966

Sports helped him and his siblings make friends in new towns and become engrained into the communities where they movedSports also helped instill discipline outside of his military home

First love was soccer and football became his passion because he wanted to be like his dad but it was basketball where he excelled earning a scholarship to play at Winthrop UniversityWork ethic came from his parents with his parents feeling that they were against the world as an interracial couple in 1971

Part of the Army Cadet prayer turned into a family motto: Make us choose the harder right than the easier wrong and never be content with the half truth when the whole can be wonWas given internship opportunities that he should have never gotten but people believed in him which led to a career in the NFL through Public Relations

Relationships and the impact of those relationships are what stands out the most to him and the hardest part of his job is when players leave the organizationNetworking has a negative connotation because it isn’t personal and it’s only about what you can gain
