Episode 448: Front Lines to Goal Lines, Phil McConkey Succeeds in Service, Sports, and Securities
Description
The connection between military service and football runs deep, woven into the ethos of both fields, where discipline, teamwork, and resilience are paramount. Hall of Fame quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Sid Luckman, and the late Pat Tillman are just a few of the athletes that have distinguished themselves both on the gridiron and in military service. Alongside them is Phil McConkey, Navy Veteran, Super Bowl 21 Champion with the New York Giants, and President of Academy Securities. Phil goes Inside the ICE House to expound on the nation's first post-9/11 veteran-owned and operated investment bank and broker dealer. He details his motivations for pursuing the NFL after five-years of military service, how Academy Securities is is supporting veterans, and how he and CEO Chance Mims are buidling the firm for the future.
