The Power of Someone Who Believes in You | With Larry Long Jr.

Larry Long Jr. lost his father more than a decade ago. He still hears his voice every day. As a struggling freshman baseball player at the University of Maryland, Larry found himself mired in a brutal slump. His father sat him down and delivered a message he didn't necessarily want to hear: Fix your mindset and everything else will follow from that. The lesson stuck: Larry went on to hit .319 in ACC play that season, and the advice has continued to guide him throughout his life and career. In this week's episode of _Power & Impact_ , Larry reflects on his father's influence and the setbacks that shaped his journey. We trace his growth from a student-athlete into an internationally recognized speaker, coach, and author, exploring the philosophies that drive his success. Our conversation dives into why relationships will always matter more than resumes, how sales is ultimately an act of service, and what young people entering today's competitive workforce can do to carve out their own opportunities. As we celebrate Father's Day, this episode serves as a beautiful tribute to the legacy of the people who believe in us and the wisdom that continues to light our way long after they're gone.
