“Can Pave the Way for Millions”- MLB Icon Alex Rodriguez Once Dove Into Becoming a Trailblazer as He Appeared on a Famous TV Show

From a baseball career that spanned over two decades, Alex Rodriguez became accustomed to fame on and off the field. On the field, he became one of the best players of his generation playing for three different teams. However, his off-field fame came from his high-profile relationships and his incredible business acumen. It has then helped him to bring his net worth to a monstrous value of $350 million. 

Having multiple ventures in different areas, A-Rod’s understanding of business led him to a guest seat on the famous reality show Shark Tank. It was a surreal experience for the former athlete to go through. And even before he became a guest shark, he had always fixated on the idea for others, especially athletes, to dive into the business sector after retiring from the game. But after his Shark Tank appearance, A-Rod became even more inspired to help others.

Since the show Shark Tank appeared on television, it has ignited viewers’ interest in the business. They got to see how businesses get built and what goes behind in up-scaling it. And according to the former Yankee, it gave them a chance to “get their MBA once a week through watching Shark Tank.”

Appearing on the show made A-Rod realize that he was the first-ever Hispanic to become a shark, even as a guest. It made him realize that by being on the show as a mentor, he could help millions of people realize their potential. During an interview with Forbes in 2017, the former athlete said, “I represent a great group of people, and I’m just happy that I can pave the way for millions.”

The ex-slugger did not reach this point in his life without making the mistakes he made. But instead of those mistakes slowing him, he owned them, learned from them, and eventually worked to prevent others from making the same mistakes. 

Having fulfilled his dreams, A-Rod now encourages others!

For those unversed, a young Alex Rodriguez, before entering MLB, has seen only two dreams. He wanted to play professional baseball and enter the business world. Determined to do both soon, as he turned 18, he was playing baseball professionally for the Seattle Mariners and also became a businessman.
