Athletes turned entrepreneurs

Portfolio has created a series of videos interviewing athletes who have become avid entrepreneurs. The athletes discuss lessons they've learned in the process of entering business and offer advice for aspiring industrialists. The athlete entrepreneurs include:

• Peggy Fleming
• Tate George
• Tony Hawk
• Eric Heiden
• Stacy Peralta
• Ray Pinney
• Jerry Rice
• Cathy Rigby
• Leonard Wheeler

These videos go beyond the traditional advice of business executives, delving into the real-life experiences of entrepreneurs striving to establish themselves through their innovation and athletic experiences.
The framing is intimate and creates the sense you're having a one-on-one talk with the speakers. Each interview is cut into 5 bite-size pieces both candid and inclusive for viewers, something all business journalists should aspire to in pieces on business individuals.
