Join RUHM Podcast as we explore the remarkable career of Jeff Moorad, a business magnate, attorney, and investor who established himself as one of professional sports’ most influential agents.
Jeff later joined forces with Leigh Steinberg, establishing the Steinberg & Moorad firm, which became America’s top NFL client practice and the second largest in Major League Baseball during their partnership. The two sold their firm in 1999 to Assante Corporation, paving way for Jeff’s new path as a team owner for the Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres, and later, McLaren Racing and the X Games.
Through insightful conversation, we uncover the invaluable life lessons and strategies he used to propel himself forward. From living outside of our comfort zones, having a tolerance for risk, and a fear of failure that drives relentless pursuit - Jeff reveals how one can tactfully negotiate their way into success while gaining that all-important edge over others.
