I know a lot of agents who love to boast about the fact that they rarely, if ever, get any sleep.

Although after this weekend’s trip to Boston to speak at Suffolk Law School (I’m speaking there tonight), the traveling will settle down for a bit until I head up to Washington D.C. for the Sports Lawyers Association Conference mid-May.

And when that nickname is “Big Daddy”, you are sure to be remembered by practically all who meet you. While participating in a few meetings in New York City last […]
