Paul Epstein
Former NFL & NBA Executive
Paul Epstein is a former top executive for multiple NFL and NBA teams, a bestselling author, and one of the most sought-after leadership speakers and culture transformation experts. In 2022, he was recognized by SUCCESS Magazine as one of the top thought leaders who get results, alongside industry giants like Tony Robbins, Brené Brown, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Mel Robbins.
With nearly 15 years of experience in professional sports, Paul’s leadership helped drive massive growth and success. He played a pivotal role in taking NBA teams from the bottom of the league in revenue to the top two, set Super Bowl revenue records during his time at the NFL league office, and opened a billion-dollar stadium. Paul is also the founder of the San Francisco 49ers Talent Academy, where he earned the nickname “Why Coach” for his ability to help teams and individuals discover and align with their deepest purpose and motivations.
As an award-winning keynote speaker, Paul continues to make an impact off stage, delivering leadership development and culture transformation programs to organizations such as Amazon, Disney, Johnson & Johnson, NASA, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Dallas Cowboys.
In addition to his speaking and consulting work, Paul is the founder of the Win Monday community, an elite network focused on personal and professional development. He also hosts the Win Monday Podcast, where he interviews high-profile guests, unpacking their strategies for confidence, work-life mastery, and decision-making.
When not on stage or hosting his podcast, Paul serves as Chief Impact Officer for PurposePoint and as a Senior Advisor for the Why Institute. His mission is to help individuals and teams perform at their best and achieve their highest potential.
Paul is set to release his second book, Better Decisions Faster: Unshakable Confidence when You Need It Most in 2023, continuing to inspire and equip others with the tools to make confident, high-stakes decisions in both their personal and professional lives.
