Forks in the Road

Tim McGhee has spent 25 years at the center of sports marketing. He started on Wall Street, hated it, and briefly tried stand-up comedy before figuring out what he actually wanted to do.I talk to Tim about leaving finance for business school, the dumb luck of standing in the right hotel check-in line, and why he twice turned down jobs rather than uproot his family — a decision he has never second-guessed.

Experience is the best teacher, but it's slow and costly. The next best thing is hearing how someone else moved through it. Forks in the Road is a podcast about the decisions that shape careers and the judgment it takes to make them. Each episode, I sit down with someone who has had to navigate real choices and ask how they actually did it. New episodes coming soon.
