The best business leaders aren't just talented — they're trained. And for some of them, that training started long before they ever stepped into a boardroom. Business MVP takes you inside the real stories of elite athletes, coaches, and sports entrepreneurs who've translated what they learned on the field into extraordinary success in business. Through candid conversations, we break down the habits, mindset, and leadership principles that drive performance under pressure — and explore how these leaders are building businesses, leading teams, and using their platforms to create meaningful impact through philanthropy and community work. We go beyond the highlight reel. This is about the discipline, the setbacks, the pivots, and the championship mindset that turns competitors into business leaders. Hosted by Sammy Peterson — legal strategist, executive leader, and mom of three competitive athletes — this show sits at the intersection of sports, business, and leadership. Sammy brings both strategic insight and real-world perspective to every conversation. If you want to think sharper, lead better, and compete at an MVP level — in business and in life — this is the playbook. Connect with Sammy on ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ and LinkedIn.
