Episode notes
A special edition of Success SZN, recorded live at the 2026 Jim Butler Golf Classic.
In this fireside chat, President & CEO Brandon Williams sits down with DeMaurice F. Smith, attorney and former Executive Director of the NFL Players Association, for a conversation that goes well past the game. Smith spent over a decade at the table where football's biggest decisions got made, representing the players who made the league what it is.
He talks about the path from the courtroom to the negotiating table, what leadership looks like when the stakes are real, and the discipline it takes to advocate for people when the pressure is on. For anyone building a career in law, sports, business, or anywhere influence and integrity have to coexist, this one carries weight.
Rooted in St. Louis and built for anyone chasing what's next.
