This room was filled with the heaviest of heavy hitters in the sports world, including most of the team owners along with the commissioners of the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, WNBA, the World Surf League, the IOC, etc. Rarely do you get the chance to be in a room with this many powerful people at the same time. There was an über-successful attendee named Michael. One of my major objectives was to impress and win him over because he throws arguably the most exclusive party in the country each summer.”
