Last month, I completed my MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. I want to thank my family for the support, and my Kellogg professors, friends, and classmates for making the last 2 years such an incredibe experience. On to the next chapter!

How to use communication & humility to lead -> See New Zealand PM, Jacinda Ardern. At the peak of Covid, she would post on FB Live from her home at night wearing a casual sweater & looking directly into her phone to reiterate key messages. Result = Buy-In. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Craft a one-sentence statement to guide your professional life (e.g. I will only work for a company whose product/service I use). Do this and you will eliminate so many future decisions. #careerdirection #decisionmaking

Extremely proud & happy for my good friend & NHL player agent, Bayne Pettinger, for coming out! I applaud him for being so courageous and vulnerable -- a lesson for us all. #love #pride theathletic.com/2178746/2020/1…

Thank you, Veterans. I have so much respect & admiration for your courageousness. One of the things I miss about playing in the NHL is being on the ice during a game when Veterans were introduced & seeing both the fans & players stand & applaud. #VeteransDay #RemembranceDay

Crazy Stat: If someone is obese at age 13, they have an 80% chance of being obese for their adult life. Imagine the reduction if we all could just walk 10k steps/day. Netflix is great but it is not part of the solution. #GetThoseStepsIn

If LA can support 2 NFL & 2 NBA teams playing in the same stadium/arena, Toronto, the center of the hockey universe, can easily support 2 NHL teams. Furthermore, Toronto, the 4th largest city in North America, deserves an NFL team. #WeTheNorth #TO theathletic.com/2228355/2020/1…

Please help 12-year old Halle raise $ for rare cancer surgery @ the U of Pittsburgh. To raise awareness, do a handstand & post it on SM. #handstandsforhalle | gofundme.com/f/9fj5jz-help-…

As a former athlete, one challenge is to not reflect on your career and say, “What if I had just done _____ differently?,” but to use those mistakes as life lessons. Easier said than done!

Most people ignore opportunities because they see only danger. Entrepreneurs ignore danger because they see only opportunities.

Teddy Roosevelt is a boss - he achieved more before age 30 than most do in a lifetime. At 23 and w/ no naval experience, he authored 'The Naval War of 1812', which became a college textbook. Get inspired during covid and read 'The Rise of TR' or at least google him:)

Great example of taking a negative (covid leading to cancellation of NHL Winter Classic) & finding a positive (Lake Tahoe games). And, new future revenue driver.

The psychology of fighting Zoom fatigue: (1) Increase mobility: give permission to walk around (2) Reduce eye contact intensity: sit farther away (3) Reduce mental load: hold audio-only sessions (4) Reduce self-consciousness: turn off the self-view news.stanford.edu/2021/02/23/fou…

So nice having a coffee while the boys do fitness testing(eighteen 110m sprints)!And Everybody passed! #Retirement x.com/cubigredhockey…

He had the chance to go to the NHL, so he left Cornell early. Now, Ryan O'Byrne is back to earn his college degree. cornellsun.com/2016/11/28/unf…

Graduation Day! 🎓🎓 It took a little longer than initially expected(only 13 years) but what an amazing experience. Thank you Cornell University!

Thrilled to start a new chapter at Kellogg School this fall. #MBA #GoWildcats
