[MUSIC] Welcome to Lesson Three. Here, we're going to take you through the early stages of a professional's career, and the selection of an agency. So once we're past the representation agreement, once we're past the amateur eligibility issues, once we're past the agent violating any of the agent statutes, we have a professional athlete and you are representing that professional athlete. In particular, we're going to invite you to help guide a, a, a number one draft pick for the Cleveland Indians, Clint Frazier, through the early stages of his professional career. And we're going to have an interview with Clint, in which he's going to talk to us about how he selected his agency, how he selected his financial adviser, and where he hopes to go with his career. On the other side, we're going to have one of the most experienced people I've ever met in the baseball world telling us what characteristics he has found allow an athlete like Clint to make it through to free agency. In terms of selecting an agency, we're going to talk to a couple of experts here. What is the best choice? Do you want a boutique agency that focuses on you? Do you want to a mega agency that will just take you in and through working with all their other athletes, help to platform you? Or something in between? We're going to talk to John Palguta in that regard as well as Jeff Schwartz too, long term, long time friends of mine, the best people in the business I could think of to bring to you to talk to you about these kinds of decisions as the professional athlete enters into his career. In the case of Jeff Schwartz, it will be in the NBA context primarily and in the case of John Palguta, it will be in the NFL and MLB context particularly. We'll then have our usual wrap up. We'll ask you to make the call. We'll have a play act of a hypothetical, of an, an, a athlete like Johnny Manziel going into an agency and going out of an agency. Purely hypothetical. Then we'll it through a less learning objectives for this lesson. As always, we'll have some multiple choice questions. And we'll have a weekly post and you might expect it to have something to do with LeBron James and his decision about agency selection. Why did he pick the agents that he has selected over the years? What decisions have been made, right, wrong, or indifferent, with those agents? Did he make the right decision most recently to come back to Cleveland? Why a two year contract only? These are the kinds of posts we're going to ask you to interact with us on at the end of lesson three. We really look forward to what you have to say and see if these learning objectives have been achieved and if you could go ahead and at this stage of the professional athlete's career, represent a superstar athlete like Lebron, what advice you would give him and why. So please stay with us through lesson three and we look forward to seeing what you have to say about the subject that we're going to explore here. [MUSIC]
