3x Super Bowl Champion, Analyst for the Fox Sports NFL, UFL EVP Pro Football Executive Daryl "Moose" Johnston 3x Super Bowl Champion, Analyst for the Fox Sports NFL, UFL EVP Pro Football Executive Daryl "Moose" Johnston is a seasoned football analyst, three-time Super Bowl champion, and two-time Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl fullback. Currently, he serves as an analyst in the FOX NFL broadcast booth, partnering with play-by-play announcer Joe Davis and veteran reporter Pam Oliver. Johnston's insights and commentary bring depth and expertise to the NFL coverage, blending his years of experience as a player with his sharp broadcasting skills. In addition to his broadcasting career, Johnston continues to make significant contributions to the football world. In 2021, he was named Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the USFL, playing a key role in the league’s successful launch. Following the USFL’s merger with the XFL to form the UFL, Johnston continues in his leadership role as EVP of Football Operations for the newly formed league, overseeing its growth and development. A Storied Football Career Johnston’s broadcasting career began in 2001 when he joined the FOX NFL booth full-time after spending a year as a game analyst for NFL on CBS. Over the years, he has worked with various play-by-play announcers, including Dick Stockton, Kenny Albert, and Kevin Burkhardt, and has teamed up with legendary personalities like Tony Siragusa. In 2008, he had the opportunity to call the BCS Orange Bowl, and in 2009, he was in the booth for the BCS Sugar Bowl between Alabama and Utah. Johnston’s football analysis and deep knowledge of the game have made him a respected voice on both NFL Network’s "Total Access" and his various media appearances, including his radio show, "The Moose Call" , and hosting duties on local TV shows like “Inside the Huddle” . Johnston’s nickname, “Moose,” was given to him by former teammate Babe Laufenberg, and it became a fitting moniker for the durable, powerhouse fullback. His NFL career began in 1989 when he was drafted in the second round by the Dallas Cowboys after a standout college career at Syracuse University. There, he was named an All-American and earned All-Big East honors in 1988 while earning a degree in economics. Johnston was a key contributor to the Cowboys' dominant Super Bowl victories in 1993, 1994, and 1996, cementing his legacy as one of the most dependable and versatile players in franchise history. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Johnston was known for his ability to block, catch, and rush the ball, finishing his career with 294 receptions for 2,227 yards and 14 touchdowns, as well as 232 rushes for 753 yards and 8 touchdowns. His career-high of 50 receptions in 1993 remains a testament to his all-around skill set. Despite a career-threatening neck injury in 1997, Johnston played in 149 consecutive games, including the postseason. He made an impressive recovery and continued to play through the 1999 season, but injuries ultimately ended his playing career. Leadership Beyond the Field In 2018, Johnston was named the General Manager of the San Antonio Commanders in the Alliance of American Football League, further showcasing his leadership and football acumen. His role in shaping the team’s roster and operations reflected his vast understanding of the game and his ability to transition into the management side of football. Johnston's legacy is not only defined by his athletic achievements but also by his tireless commitment to giving back to the community. He has dedicated much of his time to charity work, supporting causes such as the Special Olympics, Children's Cancer Fund, Cystic Fibrosis, Muscular Dystrophy Association's Aisles for Smiles, and Literacy Instruction for Texas (LIFT). His philanthropic efforts led to his nomination for the prestigious Whizzer White Humanitarian Award in 1999. A resident of Dallas with his wife Diane, and their children Aidan and Evan, Johnston continues to inspire both on and off the field, proving that his influence in the football world extends far beyond his playing career.

When Not If: A CEO’s guide to Overcoming Adversity Jeff Martinovich When Not If: A CEO’s guide to Overcoming Adversity Jeff Martinovich built a billion-dollar investment firm from scratch, only to watch it collapse after being wrongly indicted. Standing firm in his beliefs, he rejected three federal plea offers and demanded a trial against the United States Government. Despite being convicted and sentenced to 14 years in a violent, 4,000-man prison, Jeff refused to give up. Ruined, broke, and desperate, he taught himself federal criminal law, represented himself in court, and successfully reversed the court’s decisions five times. He even removed two federal judges and made it home seven years earlier than expected, surviving one miracle after another. A U.S. Air Force First Gulf War veteran, Forbes Books-featured author, and writer of a #1 Amazon bestseller, Jeff now shocks and educates audiences on the trench warfare needed to survive—and thrive—through strength, resilience, and intelligence. His mission is to teach CEOs, business leaders, and entrepreneurs the hard-earned lessons he learned so that they can avoid the pitfalls he never saw coming, and better protect their companies and families from dangers they might never expect. In his keynote, Cautionary Tale: This Could Happen to You Next Tuesday , Jeff shares the harrowing journey of defending his innocence against a government system determined to destroy his life. He offers invaluable lessons from his fight for freedom and justice, warning that even the most successful leaders must be prepared for life’s unexpected “black swan” events. He emphasizes that everyone will eventually face overwhelming challenges, and by preparing now—embracing fear, risk, and resilience—leaders will be equipped to turn disadvantages into advantages when the time comes. While Jeff’s talks are both wildly entertaining and deeply personal, they are also packed with actionable lessons and insights that leaders can apply immediately, no matter their business or personal station in life.

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.
