00:00Live from Radio Row sports grids coverage of Super Bowl 59 Joe Lisi joined by superstar agent
00:07Sean Stilato, Sean just give me your thoughts about the atmosphere here in New Orleans. It's intoxicating. You know, this is the mecca of
00:14America's favorite pastime right excited to be down here. Yeah best-dressed guy
00:19Let me tell you next to me in terms of Radio Row. I want to get your thoughts quickly on the game
00:24Philly and Casey, how do you see it playing out?
00:27You know, you obviously you got Patrick Mahomes who just finds a way to win
00:31Then you got on the other side of the table an alien and you know, she
00:36Barkley, I mean he's had an incredible year, right?
00:38I think whoever has the balls last is gonna win the football game
00:41But I think with Barkley the chip on the shoulder what happened with the Giants and then being benched out
00:48Oh, I should say sat out that last game going out to really put an exclamation point on the greatest running back performance in the history
00:55Of the NFL got to be doing confetti angels to have that title. I think definitely and we'll see how that game plays out
01:00I like Philadelphia as well
01:02You were a store at Marist right wide receiver. What made you get into becoming an agent after your playing days?
01:08You know, I had a couple agents
01:10I hired and fired and I saw the movie Jerry Maguire and I if I honestly very
01:15Transparently could still be playing the game. I would be so I said what's the closest get know that I can get it's playing
01:20It's representing players and I've been blessed to represent some fine
01:25High character young men and it's been a fun ride
01:28I live my bliss every day and being the bridge to the NFL for these guys. It's pretty refreshing now
01:34I have to ask you because we should all saw you in terms of that primetime matchup on MetLife, right Danny DeVito
01:41Tommy DeVito I always said Danny starting for the New York Giants, right? You're on the sidelines people
01:47Recognizing you what did that do for you?
01:50I mean in just in terms of you know, making you a household name at that particular time
01:55It was almost like America's Got Talent the golden buzzer
01:58I mean incredible
01:59But it was years and years of grit and resiliency and tenacity and just pounding the pavement for my guys
02:06Coming to the center light right and being able to spearhead that and segue that for other opportunities for other guys
02:13It's been very very humbling gratifying
02:16I love what I do. I am so passionate what I do and you know
02:21The whole everything that happened in New York on Monday night football where I was engaged
02:2719 years to the day Wow, that's my wife. That's incredible
02:30I have to be honest with you when I when I watch that and I'm listening to the Manning cast and everything
02:36They're calling out right the look and everything else and you're rocking it
02:39I mean, you know the Italian the Italians know how to dress right? That's the one thing
02:44Did that bother you at all, you know, you know what I had some of the statements he made I thought was like whatever
02:49It was you know, cuz other me
02:52Because they wouldn't do it to anybody else. No, no, they wouldn't they wouldn't and you know
02:56Obviously not knowing much about me that I'm a girl dad of four daughters and I've been I've been grinding for all those years
03:02It was almost like making statements without even doing any dual diligence, right?
03:05You really see the track record and and how I pride myself on my craft, right?
03:12Both those guys how they prepare and you know, let's you know
03:15They they were born into a situation where they've made the most of it. Absolutely
03:19And let me just say they say as well, you know
03:21I I've seen a majority of your clients great guys. You represent them great
03:28You're in philanthropy as well. A lot of charity work. Talk to me about that. Yeah, my daughter suffers from juvenile arthritis
03:35My Gianna and we decided to write a children's book series called football magic and it's it's a tutorial for kids that have autoimmune diseases
03:42Coach Belletech Sean Payton have endorsed the series
03:45When I played arena ball down in Memphis, I did some work with st
03:49Jude's I just feel like we get to live our bliss every single day as a player or it as an agent and
03:56it's only proper to do more to help those that need it and
04:01They're stars right and that's important to me
04:04Let me ask you if for younger players that maybe want to get into the industry of being a sports agent
04:10What's the best piece of advice you can give them?
04:13Yeah, you know really know that you want to do it because one thing about what you watch movies, you know
04:17Like I'd love to be an actor, but then you got to realize what you got to do to get to that point
04:22So it's possible. It's a very
04:25Rewarding job, but it's a very humbling job
04:28and you gotta decide if you want to be around away from your family if you want to have a family or if you
04:33Want to have and if not, you know, you got to really create your own way
04:37It's no one gave me a million dollars and said hey kid go be a sports agent
04:42But look at internships and and and finding a way to be authentic is important
04:47But I like to say that, you know, I'm an underdog agent
04:50I've been able to do it and if I can do what they can do it. It's really we got one life
04:55We will got one paintbrush one piece of canvas. That's it
04:57So do what you love and if you don't do it, and if you're just gonna chase a paycheck
05:02I don't know if you'll be happy at the end of the day the great Sean stiletto
05:06Will be back with more from New Orleans right now
