Shownotes

On the latest episode of Jersey Justice, attorney Gerald Clark of the Clark Law Firm, PC sits down with Chris Malleo a former Northwestern and Pro Football QB turned coach, entrepreneur, leadership strategist, and author. Also joining the conversation is Noah Dehond, one of Chris’s key players at Peddie and a member of Clemson’s 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship team.

Chris breaks down the major turning points in his life, from running plays under center to calling the shots as a coach under the Friday night lights. He also dives into the inspiration behind his new book The ChairLeader, centered on the incredible story of Frankie Kineavy who never let his Cerebral Palsy, being non-verbal, or being wheelchair-bound define what he could contribute. Frankie became Chris’s assistant coach at Peddie and a driving force behind their #1 nationally ranked team.

Frankie taught lifelong lessons in perseverance, courage, and leadership to the entire program. He also gave Chris a much needed new perspective on how to live life one he had never seen before. In the end Chris didn't just gain a lifelong friend in Frankie, but he also discovered the meaning of what it is to be a ChairLeader.

A powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, and the kind of leadership that changes lives.
