Are You Ready For Some Football?


"The lesson of my story is any company can have as many hardworking and dedicated workers. However, without the leadership that it needs and without the right vision of the future, the company will most likely not succeed."
~~Post feedback from Marc Jongoy, FSO New York (Integro Insurance Brokers)



Good Afternoon Folks

I am not sure how many folks are actual sports fans. But me for one growing up in queens I did not have my exposure to team sports or sports for that matter.  But as I grew up I found this great inspiration in teams. Leadership. Coaching. Excitement. And more. And yes as I got older found the same for strategy in sports.

Years ago we moved to San Francisco ( hence the love for Napa) and became a 49 ers fan. Yes it was great then. But then the tough ride for more than 10 years. Getting beat up by many teams including peters Green Bay packers. 

But as they say. Strong leadership. Good strategy. 

Having the proper players on the team in the proper spots makes all the difference.

But Regis Philbin isn’t just the king of television. 
He’s also the nation’s biggest Notre Dame fan.

Last weekend I joined a group of friends to experience one of the greatest rivalries in college football: Michigan vs Notre Dame. I feel like Regis!

Now talk about energy. 

Proper people in the proper spots. 

Leadership and strategy. Wow. 

One of the most riveting games I have sat thru. Record crowds. Steve Ross was there. Eminem the singer. Beyonce's half time show and a crowd of 115,901 people. 

To put that into perspective. Met life stadium in New Jersey holds less than 75,000. Can you imagine?

Well the good news. Both the teams won. But both had to be rebuilt. In college, kids graduate. In professional sports they find the talented players needed to Win. And boy do both of these coaches. Their staff and more have it right. Wow.

If you watch those games you just have to think about the strategy that goes into the PRE game. Not much different from everything we do each day at each site. At each sales call and each ops meeting and the list goes on.

I was totally inspired to watch both team. Tenacity and resilience like I have never seen. Every time the other team came back our teams got it together and fought back. And they never stopped trying. Nothing got in their way. Nothing was going to get to them. They had their focus on the prize. 

And they went for it folks.

The lesson of my story is any company can have as many hardworking and dedicated workers. However, without the leadership that it needs and without the right vision of the future, the company will most likely not succeed. 

Print this post and keep it handy. There are some days that are great. And there are some that are not so great. 

But it is up to you and your mental attitude to keep going. 

Overcome. 

And not let anything get in your way. 

Don't let anyone rob what rightfully belongs to you.


I appreciate all you do for me and the company each and every day. Lets make this week the one that counts.

Good luck today folks,
