About this Episode:

In this episode of The Transformative Leader Podcast, I’m happy to bring you a conversation with Paul Epstein about becoming the kind of leader that others are inspired to follow by embracing the leader’s playbook. In this power-packed conversation, Paul introduces us to his “five pillars of playing offense” as a leader, how to get in touch with our purpose, the importance of coaching, and so much more. Paul has been there and done it and he has the results to show for it, having guided countless teams “from paycheck driven to purpose driven, from adversity to achievement, from disengaged to inspired, and from success to significance.”

Paul Epstein is an expert in leadership and organizational culture with nearly fifteen years of experience as a professional sports executive for multiple NFL and NBA teams, a global sports agency, and the NFL league office—leading and coaching business teams, most recently with the San Francisco 49ers. It was there that Paul had a life-changing transformation—he found his ‘Why’—to inspire purpose in others so they can play offense in life. A calling he has followed ever since.

As Founder of Purpose Labs, Paul is on a mission to impact millions of lives by sharing his message of Playing Offense as an author, keynote speaker, business coach, and leadership trainer. He has installed the Playing Offense playbook with professional sports organizations, Fortune 500 leadership teams, Chief People Officers, MBAs, and professional athletes—all to live and lead with greater purpose, performance, and impact.

Paul received his MBA from the University of Michigan, following his undergraduate degree at USC. He resides in Pasadena, CA with his wife, two labradoodles, and their future leader, PJ.
