Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez may have retired from baseball in 2016, but he continues to be one of the strongest voices in the MLB community. With the former World Series Champion now moving on to commercial ventures with his A-Rod Corp, Rodriguez has taken his learnings from sport and is applying them as he can to the business ecosystem. Moreover, as his commercial ventures continue to do well, he may have dropped some insight on how he operates that will help all his fans.
Speaking at a Bloomberg event, Rodriguez spoke about a litany of subjects and he wasn’t shy about his own failures either. In fact, Rodriguez acknowledged one of his lesser-regarded stats and spoke about how that made him a better person. It’s a cliche in sport, that ‘what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger’. And Rodriguez is a great example of it.
