Summary
On the latest episode of Jersey Justice, attorney Gerald Clark of the Clark Law Firm, PC sits down with Chris Malleo a former Northwestern and Pro Football QB turned coach, entrepreneur, leadership strategist, and author. Also joining the conversation is Noah Dehond, one of Chris’s key players at Peddie and a member of Clemson’s 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship team. Chris breaks down the major turning points in his life, from running plays under center to calling the shots as a coach under the Friday night lights. He also dives into the inspiration behind his new book The ChairLeader , centered on the incredible story of Frankie Kineavy who never let his Cerebral Palsy, being non-verbal, or being wheelchair-bound define what he could contribute. Frankie became Chris’s assistant coach at Peddie and a driving force behind their #1 nationally ranked team. Frankie taught lifelong lessons in perseverance, courage, and leadership to the entire program. He also gave Chris a much needed new perspective on how to live life one he had never seen before. In the end Chris didn't just gain a lifelong friend in Frankie, but he also discovered the meaning of what it is to be a ChairLeader. A powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, and the kind of leadership that changes lives. To Buy The ChairLeader: https://a.co/d/4CHhWZm
