Seven-time Super Bowl champion, five-time Super Bowl MVP, fitness and wellness entrepreneur, IWC ambassador, and serious watch collector Tom Brady joins us this week on Hodinkee Radio. I could have done the whole this weeks guest needs no introduction bit C but thats a hell of an introduction, right?Shortly after Tom (we're tight now, so it's cool, we can call him Tom) won his latest Vince Lombardi Trophy, he joined Ben and me on a Zoom call from his home in Florida for some old-school watch talk. We covered how he got into watches, why they're meaningful to him, the ways he shares his hobby with his friends and family, and the pieces still on his grail list. Despite this guy being, well, him, he has some of the same concerns the rest of us do when browsing for a new one. The IWC GST Chronograph Rattrapante that started it all for Tom Brady. We also got into some more particular topics C for instance, what its like to be Tom Brady. He opened up about managing fan expectations over the years, how he keeps himself in the right place mentally and physically, and how he responds when someone names their kid after him. He also tells us what might be ahead after retirement (though hes coming back next season, so well have to wait to see what happens there).This is a cant-miss episode of HODINKEE Radio. Toms thoughtfulness and passion come through immediately, and youll quickly forget that Ben and I are chatting with one of the most famous humans on the planet. This is just three guys talking about life and watches.Editors Note: As you may know, Tom Brady is an investor in HODINKEE. But he doesn't tell us how to run our business any more than we tell him how to throw a spiral.
