In this revolutionary book, we delve into the incredible opportunities that lie ahead for student-athletes who now have the freedom to utilize and manage their own name, image, and likeness (NIL).

Do you want to be better at your negotiations? To understand how people work, how you work, and how you can make it all work together? This is not a book of sales techniques, it is a book written by someone who has been, and will always be, a salesperson and who, above all, likes people and wants to share with you how this can help you be better and reach your goals.People negotiate with people and we don't always realize that. Usually we look at the client or one we're going to negotiate with as a LLC-as a company-and we don't realize that, just like us, he or she is seeking to achieve their personal and professional goals in life. How then can you get better at understanding what's going on in their minds? What do you need to know to understand their wants and needs and at the same time satisfy your own desires and needs?Negotiating is a dance. I always say that in my training. If we're not able to get into the rhythm of the other, to understand the balance of their body and then combine it with ours, we'll never dance together. And what we have left will be just to step on the foot of our partner and dance without rhythm-with an enormous desire never to repeat the experience. Just as anyone can learn to dance, anyone can learn to negotiate. Just have genuine interest in starting from somewhere. Start reading this book right away. I'm sure if you don't, then a year from now you'll be sorry you didn't start today.

Television personalities, you invite them into your home, you eat dinner with them nightly, you crawl into bed as they watch from their perch on the TV stand, you make them a member of your family, but who are they, really? In order to help answer that question, I travel back to my childhood, explaining how I grew up in a small rural community in North Dakota, was raised in a family with 9 children, 6 boys and 3 girls in a three-bedroom house. I worked for my dad, who was in the restaurant and bar business, employing my brother Mike and I, feeding construction road crews, picking up new language skills when we were eight and nine.

As the original designated driver, driving the drunks home, listening to them babble and collecting big tips at age 17, all helping to explain how many of my life experiences that developed my personality were the reasons for my success in my 51- year broadcasting career.

As the weatherman, people had always greeted me with, "How's the Weather," shortly after starting the water safety program people would always greet me with, "Watch Your Kids Around Water," it never changed.
