Legendary San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young is a Super Bowl champion, an MVP many times over, and a member of the Football Hall of Fame. His level of elite play required the utmost confidence and perseverance. So why was he going days without sleeping and throwing up before taking the field? 

In this very personal conversation, Steve opens up about his childhood social anxiety which he never understood until well into his NFL career, and how these challenges have completely shaped how he views everyone fighting their own battles.

A philosophy of pure selflessness has allowed him to tackle his anxieties head-on and unlock his full potential, on the field, in his businesses, and in family life. Even in extremely transactional negotiations, the language of selflessness can eliminate “winners” and “losers” and make business more like a team sport.

His new book is called “The Law of Love,” which is full of tactical advice and extremely personal stories.
