We've also interviewed General David H. Petraeus, US Army (Ret.) who has had a glorious military and post-military career, including a stint as the Director of the CIA.

I used to own a Mercedes S-Class.

Yes, a $100k+ vehicle (I bought it pre-owned so I didn't pay that much for it). Without a doubt, it was the best car I've ever owned.

It was my present to myself from the proceeds of my first book, "FROM GLORY DAYS - Successful Transitions of Professional Detroit Athletes."

After a few years, something drastically changed in me and I sold it.

Since, we now own three vehicles that are 12, 9, and 6 years old (imagine that, our newest vehicle is six years old).

What changed in me and why do I share this personal story?

Very simple..........PRIORITIES.

I learned a valuable lesson that is important for both our personal and professional lives. I learned the importance of priorities.

Instead of spending our hard-earned money on fancy vehicles (I'm not against people who do that), I've learned to spend money on things that will have a greater impact.

Family activities & travel, sports for the kids, business reinvestment, and of course....charity.

By identifying priorities, it's allowed me to better steward the funds we've been provided which provides a level of financial freedom.

And the lessons continue to be learned.

This WSJ headline is very eye-catching and Patrick Crakes comments are insightful.

Digging deeper into this article, beyond the headline, is more telling to the reasons the women's championship game viewership was larger than the men's.

Ease of access to watch cannot be understated......watching a championship game on ABC on a Sunday afternoon versus watching on a subscription-only channel like TBS on a late Monday evening may naturally have a viewership discrepancy, regardless of the gender.

That said, as a father of daughters I'm happy to see women's sports continue to be elevated in both popularity and compensation, and hope that trend continues.

Sunday’s final was watched by more people than any other basketball game in the past five years, including NBA and NCAA men’s events.

Great news.......

Many people have asked how they can contribute to my cause of delivering birthday cakes to homeless children in Detroit.

Below is a link to donate directly, if you'd like to support these homeless children on their special days (birthday) while they are in the homeless shelter at The Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries.

I always recommend mentioning birthday cakes for the kids in the comment section when you do.

Thank YOU in advance if you donate!!! I can already see the smiles on those kids' faces.
