384. “Always be prepared to start,” Joe Montana shares tips for success on the field and in life with Host Dan Hesse

In this episode, The Mentors Radio Host Dan Hesse talks with Joe Montana, one of the greatest football players in history, a four-time Super Bowl champion. As Montana famously put it, "Always be prepared to start," which sums up his approach to life on and off the field. Widely respected by teammates, coaches and colleagues as a phenomenal leader, Montana teaches us how to get the most out of those around us and how to perform under pressure. We’ll also learn how Montana parlayed his team leadership skills into a very successful career as an angel investor and “Unicorn” picker. Without a doubt, Joe Montana personifies excellence and personal integrity, both on and off the field. He is one of the toughest quarterbacks ever to play the game and his trademark was unflappable poise in the clutch, earning the nickname “Joe Cool.” Yet the word most closely associated with Joe is not winner — it’s leader.  After leading Notre Dame to the college football national championship, Joe led the San Francisco 49ers to FOUR Super Bowls titles with Joe earning MVP honors three times. He finished his legendary NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs and he’s a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His post-football life has been just as successful, as a public speaker, advertising pitchman, husband, father, grandfather and “angel” investor.
