He has won two Super Bowl rings with the Green Bay Packers under Coach Vince Lombardi (I got to wear one of them) and he is now a proud member of the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame. Being a Packer fan, it was awesome to talk about his time with my favorite sports team. He was also coached by Don Shula, he was a part of their undefeated season and two more Super Bowls. Since his playing days he has progressed as a real estate agent, business owner and soon to be author, but one thing remains true: Marv stays focused on reaching his peak. Whether it is on the football field, golf course or business world, Marv is honest with himself and stays focused on the prize: reaching his peak π Today's discussion is focused on that topic as we learn lessons and stories from Marv from the 1960s to where he is at now.
