He holds several Redskins records, including passing yardage (25,206), completions (2,044), and attempts (3,602). Joe was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and Pro Bowl MVP, leading the Washington Redskins to a 27-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII. In 1982, Joe was named the NFL’s Man of the Year for his community service and dedication to the health and welfare of children. The following year, he won the NFL's Most Valuable Player Award, leading the Redskins to a second consecutive Super Bowl appearance. Joe's career came to an abrupt end in 1985 when he suffered a severely broken leg during a Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants, which was broadcast nationally. In 2003, Joe was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, and in 2013, he received the Walter Camp Football Foundation “Distinguished American” Award. Joe was selected in the fourth round of the 1971 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins and in the 39th round of the 1971 Major League Baseball Draft by the Minnesota Twins. After negotiations with the Dolphins fell through, Joe chose to sign with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL). In his rookie year, he quarterbacked the Argonauts to a 1-4 record, led the league's Eastern Conference in passing statistics, and helped the team secure a berth in the Grey Cup championship game in Vancouver, British Columbia, against the Calgary Stampeders (59th Grey Cup). During the 1971 season, Joe completed 148 of 278 passes for 2,440 yards and 17 touchdowns. His 1972 season was shortened by injury, but he still completed 77 of 127 passes for 1,157 yards and 10 touchdowns. In his final CFL season in 1973, Joe completed 157 of 247 passes for 2,496 yards, along with 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He was named an All-Star in both 1971 and 1973. In 1974, the Washington Redskins acquired Joe’s rights from the Dolphins in exchange for the team's first-round draft pick in 1976. Joe left the CFL and joined the Redskins, initially serving as the team’s punt returner. In 1978, he became the Redskins' starting quarterback, succeeding Billy Kilmer. In 1982, Joe led the Redskins to their first championship in 40 years, defeating the Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII. In 1985, Joe broadcasted Super Bowl XIX alongside Frank Gifford and Don Meredith, becoming only the second player to do commentary on a Super Bowl telecast while still an active player. He then worked as a color commentator for regional CBS NFL coverage in 1986 and 1987. From 1988 to 2005, Joe provided commentary for ESPN's Sunday Night Football, and in 2006, he joined ESPN's Monday Night Football coverage. In 2009, Joe analyzed game films on NFL Network’s Playbook. On January 9, 2010, he served as color commentator, alongside former head coach Joe Gibbs, for the AFC Wild Card Game between the New York Jets and the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe also co-hosted NFL games on NBC in 2010 and co-hosted NFL Network’s No Huddle in 2011. Joe’s popularity and charisma have led to numerous TV and movie opportunities.

Author, Boombustology Vikram Mansharamani Author, Boombustology Dr. Vikram Mansharamani is a global trend-watcher and expert on how to anticipate the future, manage risk, and spot emerging opportunities. He first gained widespread attention with his book Boombustology: Spotting Financial Bubbles Before They Burst , which established his ability to predict market shifts. Since then, he has helped corporate leaders and investors navigate today's radical uncertainty by looking at the world through a unique lens. His strategies provide crucial insights into a range of topics, including China, food security, the global economy, Africa, housing, financial cycles, energy, and more. Recognized for his unparalleled expertise, LinkedIn named Vikram one of their Top Voices for Money, Global Economics, and Finance in 2015 and 2016. Worth magazine listed him among the "Power 100" in 2017, ranking him as one of the 100 most powerful people in global finance. Vikram’s core belief is that the future doesn’t need to be a surprise. By regularly stepping outside of our areas of expertise and adopting a generalist’s mindset, we can better anticipate change. While specialists often focus narrowly on their area of expertise, generalists look at the world through multiple lenses, seeking to connect seemingly disparate dots. By doing so, they often draw conclusions and make decisions that are far more innovative and insightful. Vikram teaches his audiences how to adopt this mindset to identify opportunities and reduce risks in business. From 2009 to 2017, Vikram was a Lecturer at Yale University, where he taught popular courses such as Financial Booms and Busts, Economic Inequality, and Adventures in Business Ethics. He now teaches Humanity and Its Challenges at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His research focuses on navigating complex uncertainties and understanding the risks that drive global markets. In addition to his academic work, Vikram is a seasoned global equity investor with over 20 years of experience in both public and private markets. He previously served as Managing Director of SDK Capital and currently manages the Kelan Global Opportunities Fund, a global thematic investment partnership founded on his generalist approach to market insights. Vikram’s analysis has been featured in prominent media outlets including PBS Newshour, Bloomberg, MarketWatch, CNBC, Forbes, Fortune, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and many others. He also contributed the summary chapter to A Force for Good (2015), synthesizing lessons on the role of finance and capitalism in today’s interconnected and unequal world. A sought-after speaker, Vikram regularly presents to diverse audiences across industries, from sovereign wealth funds and family offices to endowments and foundations. His thought leadership on global trends, risk, and opportunity continues to resonate particularly within the investment community, where his insights help guide large-scale capital allocation decisions. As a consultant, Vikram helps clients analyze the business impact of global trends, with a focus on identifying economic, political, and social risks that could disrupt markets. He also leads executive education seminars, teaching senior leaders how to integrate complex, sometimes contradictory, information into actionable strategies. Vikram holds a Ph.D. and MS from the Sloan School of Management at MIT, an MS in Political Science from MIT, and a BA from Yale University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He lives in Lexington, MA with his wife, daughter, son, two cats, and a golden retriever.

Colleagues, subordinates, and superiors alike frequently approached Sara for her advice on overcoming career hurdles and developing strategies to increase their personal market value.
