In this episode of the Revenue Builders podcast, our hosts John
McMahon and John Kaplan talk to five-time (2 as player and 3 as
coach) Super Bowl Champion Thomas “Pepper” Johnson. Pepper shares
the good and the bad of the many leadership styles he encountered
while playing and coaching alongside some of football’s greatest
legends in the NFL. He stresses that talent does not equal
success - focus, hard work, and a team-player attitude ultimately
determine your fate. Pepper’s advice for leaders: find your own
voice and be comfortable in your skin.

QUOTES

Pepper on his legacy as an NFL player: "I
really didn't realize the impact and the goals... and making my
name in the league while I was playing. I really didn't see
myself in that form. I was focused on doing my job and trying to
win ball games as much as possible."

The common trait that differentiated NFL League
players from the rest, says Pepper: "Those were the
guys that allowed distractions, whether it was on the football
field, or it was off the football field, allowing them to not
really perform the way that they should've been performing.
[There were] some teammates that I've had going even back to high
school that I thought really had the talent to go to college and
could play in the league because I've seen guys in the league
with lesser talent. But when I had a conversation with those guys
that made it in the league, a little more dedication was
there."

Pepper's tips for leaders looking to find their own
voice: "When you're trying to coach people, when
you're trying to be your best, then you want to be comfortable.
You don't want to feel like you have someone else's thoughts in
your head. You have to make them your own."
