Tim Sinclair is the public address voice of the Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, Chicago Fire, and University of Illinois athletics—but none of that was part of his original plan.

Tim joins Nathan Whitaker to talk about his unlikely journey from architecture school and small-market radio to some of the biggest stages in sports.

Along the way, they discuss Tim’s belief that “passion changes priorities,” his unconventional “1099 to 5” career, and why he eventually realized he didn’t want the bigger title, more responsibility, or traditional climb up the career ladder.

Tim also takes us behind the scenes of major sporting events—from calling World Cup matches to introducing Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Steph Curry, LeBron James and other NBA legends—and explains the teamwork and “beautiful chaos” fans rarely see.

It’s a conversation about finding work you love, defining success for yourself, knowing when to say no, and deciding what deserves your most limited resource: your time.
