When Success Becomes Your Identity… What Happens When It’s Gone? | NFL Veteran Alex Molden

What happens when the thing that made you successful suddenly disappears?

In this episode of Patterns of Power, Craig Perra sits down with Alex Molden, former NFL first round draft pick, eight year NFL veteran, University of Oregon Hall of Famer, and leadership consultant.

Alex shares the identity crisis he faced after leaving the NFL and the brutal moment a job interviewer told him, “Football is what you did. It’s not who you are.” That conversation changed the direction of his life.

Craig and Alex unpack what separates sustainable high performers from everyone else, why discipline and character matter more than talent alone, and Alex’s leadership framework of Assignment, Alignment, and Adjustment.

Today, Alex brings the lessons he learned competing at the highest level of professional sports into his work helping leaders and Fortune 500 executives perform and lead at a higher level.
