A dramatic pivot from sport to a totally different career is what truly excites me about the potential of athlete transition, and today’s guest on my #MakeYourMark podcast, Dale Moss, has done just that.
Dale has become an impressive entrepreneur, and oh, did I mention, one of the first professional athletes to become a professional model? Hundreds try to sign with world-renowned Wilhelmina Models, and Dale has made the cut!
Dale and I had the chance to sit down in between all of the other events during Super Bowl week in Miami and have a chat.
It’s without a doubt you will be impressed with his composure, his plan, and his ability for himself and his team balancing his variety of ventures and projects!
Dale has been on magazine covers and on TV, but he’s just scratching the surface.
Make sure you give this episode a listen to hear so much more about a truly inspiring story of athlete transition!
