Quote

  • "The absolute worst thing you can do with money is just not pay attention to it at all.” -Brian Lessinger [03:06] 



  • "In the long run, the tortoise will win. But in the short term, it sucks, because sometimes the hare drives a fancy car or bought a fancy house or bought a fancy watch, and you want it, but in the long term, you'll get it, and they'll be back, starting from scratch again.” -Brian Lessinger [27:57]

Brad Noll

I grew up a Coach's Kid. The locker room was my classroom. I had many successes personally in basketball, but that wasn't the most fulfilling. My best lessons and experiences all came from being on a team. When my Division 1 basketball career was over, my wife and I decided to start a real estate company. Our goal is to share the lessons we've learned thus far so that we can Help Others WIn.

Like most, we struggled our way through. We had ups and downs. We quickly realized that all the lessons we needed to grow our business, we learned through our own personal journey with sports. Now, after 20 years of being in business, we want to bring our successes and failures to the classroom. We aim to bring you interviews of people just like you.

Greatness is already inside you. Student of the Game podcast was created to help you Master the Fundamentals, Fall in Love with Practice, and Win in the Game of Life.
