Sports fans and executives! Welcome back to another episode of Path to the Pros, powered by Forsyth Barnes.

We’re ecstatic to announce our next guest. With a career spanning the Cleveland Cavaliers, AEG, Legends, and over a decade of shaping some of the world’s most iconic sports organizations, we’re thrilled to welcome Mike Tomon, President of the Houston Texans, for this exclusive interview.

Mike has mastered the art of leading with influence over visibility. No social media, no public profile. Just his stellar reputation and track record that speaks for itself, culminating in one of the NFL’s most powerful executive roles.

Samir and Mike sit down to discuss:

• Influence without visibility: How a personal brand and reputation can outweigh social media presence, even in today’s digital world.
• The eye-opening moments that shaped his career: Lessons learned from pivotal experiences, having worked across multiple top-tier sports organizations.
• Culture as the driver of success: Why building a strong organizational foundation is as important as performance on the field.
• Authentic fan engagement: What it takes to make every Texans home game feel unmistakably like Houston.
• Leading with vision: From evaluating opportunities to fearlessly evolving, why “status quo is boring” guides the Texans’ strategy.

If you’re curious about leadership in professional sports, building world-class fan experiences, or charting a career path defined by impact over visibility, you won’t want to miss this exclusive episode.
