In this episode, Lance Tyson sits down with Mike Tomon, President of the Houston Texans, to explore what it takes to lead a world-class sports organization on and off the field.

Mike shares how his role spans sales, marketing, community impact, legal, HR, communications, data, event operations, and guest experience—all with one goal: enabling the Texans to deliver the best product on game day.

From his early start at IMG and sales stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, and Charlotte Bobcats to senior roles at AEG and Legends, Mike’s career is a masterclass in building teams, scaling organizations, and navigating transformative moments.

Key insights include:

• Crafting a clear vision, alignment, and communication across every level of an organization
• Rebuilding culture and productivity in challenging markets
• Lessons from global growth at Legends and premium revenue strategies at AEG
• Preparing for the Texans’ next chapter, including future facilities and fan experience

Whether you’re in sports, sales, or leadership, Mike’s journey is packed with practical wisdom on building strong teams, scaling with intention, and staying authentic as a leader.
