Do Your Job! - Zoltan Mesko
Incredible conversation with former Michigan football captain, New England Patriot, and current Account Executive with Snowflake, Zoltan Mesko. After being selected as the only specialist captain in the 142 year history of Michigan football Zoltan went on to a pro career with the Patriots.
The guys talk about playing at Michigan and Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots, the transition out of the NFL to sales and advice for athletes moving into sales. As you’ll hear in the interview many of those lessons from some of the world's most elite athletic organizations still help him to this day in sales.
