Alex Rodriguez joins The Pivot in a revealing and emotional tell-all conversation from growing up to baseball to business to personal relationships and how it impacted the man he is today.
The 14x All Star welcomes Ryan, Channing and Fred to his business headquarters in south Florida where a rare and unguarded ARod shares his experiences and the lessons he's learned along the way.
"Such a humiliating time in my life...I was too much of a narcissist to think about taking my life, but that's just because I was so damn arrogant," Alex opens up about his PED suspension.
Not holding back, Alex breaks down the pain he felt during his suspension and the amount of work he had to do mentally to return to baseball and getting his life back on track. Admittingly, he reveals how the person he was pre suspension is a version of himself he didn't like. Championing his time in therapy and how it saved his life, Alex talks about the dark times and hitting rock bottom. Sharing his personal story, in a heartfelt plea, he reminds anyone listening to this conversation who may be going through rough times to never give up because if he gave up, he wouldn't be sitting here today.
Reverting back to his childhood and growing up with his mom and siblings, Alex explains how his roots were developed and the simple things he learned as a child are the same core values he applies in his everyday adult life. Focusing on generational wealth and using his mom and family as motivation, the All Star turned Business Mogul shares how he took a little bit of money and built an empire in his life after baseball. From real estate investment, to technology to owning a NBA team- Alex describes the journey and his mentors along the way, including Magic Johnson, Warren Buffett and business partner Marc Lore, who helped provide a blueprint in business.
Turning the focus to family and being a girl dad, Ryan relates to some of the struggles they face walking the line between being a "cool dad" but also a protective one. Alex jokes that his family is very 2022 when he describes how he co-parents with ex-wife Cynthia and her husband while raising their girls together and doing joint family trips. Channing jokingly refers to himself and ARod as dimes and talks to Miami's most eligible bachelor about relationships and what it's like to be Alex Rodriguez trying to date.
Channing goes on to address the rumor of Alex having a reputation of being a bad teammate- the guys ask him about playing with Derek Jeter and if any animosity ever existed between the two iconic Yankee teammates.
As the conversation is wrapping...the guys are joined by a special guest when Floyd Mayweather drops by and sits down to talk with the guys. - Sport
A-Rod taught me more about finances in a hour then my professor did in a semester
One of em shoulda taught you than
You should've paid more attention in class then
Facts man fr
This interview was awesome!
Can’t just show up first day, mid term, and finals and expect to learn boy.
They’re showing why it’s important to establish a good reputation in the business and build solid relationships with others. Respect to these brothers
I work in corporate america and I cant even begin to describe how much relationships matter... How you portray yourself and speak to others can open a lot of doors for you ... You can tell a lot about a man from how he speaks to people that work for him or have a job people deem below them. I take time every time im at the office to thank the janitors and cleaning staff just for being there.. It really impacted me when i saw our site head take out the trash one time. And to give some perspective I work for a top 10 bio pharmaceutical company in the WORLD I mean this man makes easily 7 figures and god knows how many stock.options on top of that .. And there he was taking out the trash.... To me that shows character and standards.
A-Rod speaks like a such a pure business mogul that I completely forgot he was a baseball player midway through the episode lol
Thing is he learned early on how to invest and make money.
Bro I swear 😂😂😂
For a minute I thought it was his podcast..lol
Love how he says each of their names often when answering individual questions. I notice that with people like Magic Johnson too. Those are small but smart big businessman tactics.
Your career as pro athlete is pretty short lol. Better adapt
That line by Arod " I was wounded as a CHILD" is so powerful so many kids going through this!😪
Pivot really bringing it in this podcast game. They balance each other well. Channing talking about wait till I get my new teeth 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Channing doesn't need to change a thing. He's a dime just the way Gid made him...new teeth would spoil it
I hardly ever see a rod do interviews, dude was hella honest and open... The pivot is the truth
GANG GANG and ye' dude was mad vibes on lit savages, bars be complete no micky D
How do you top this? Great interview!!!!
that's what i was thinking too i been an A Rod fan since i was a kid and this was the most comfortable and open i think I've seen him he doesnt do many long form interviews either so this was definitely a treat
Maaaaaaaaan! This was a great episode! ARod has really turned his life around. Just goes to show that when we're at our lowest point, it's not over. We just have to take a really hard look in the mirror and be 💯 with ourselves. Oh and Floyd coming in at the end was epic! 🤟🏿
Can’t wait for the next episode already! 💯I enjoy watching this podcast without a doubt.
@Jermall Rutledge That’s on point 💯💯💯, you’ve gotta keep fighting .
I wish my lowest point I was still worth a couple hundred million, get a grip
Lmao when was a rods life not turned around?
@@eduardonava6284 I was looking for the comment explaining. I've watched Arod from the beginning of his career and don't remember any serious turmoil, other than which woman he was gonna date.
THIS was the best interview A-Rod has ever done. Unlike other interviews...you don't interrupt the guest!!! You let Channing and Fred take the lead. Their Florida roots really shined through. EXCELLENT WORK FELLAS!!!!!
Bert Kreischer
I’m enjoying how this podcast drops gems that can affect all people, not just former athletes. Keep doing a great job!!!
Yes sir. Love this show!!
I know man I’m getting a life/money advice I wasn’t even expecting.
I enjoy the fact that they let their guest express themselves. There are no hidden agendas
.
@@isazalpinkerton9891 We all the same. Thats all that proves
The Pivot Podcast, you have not disappointed. Now ARod. You all keep me guessing who's next, love it!
💯♥️💪
I cannot say this enough, this Podcast, The Pivot is AWESOME. I’m a older female, lover of sports and people, and I absolutely love the interviews, the subject matter, the honesty, transparency and the openness. Keep it coming. Just a wonderful show.
Man this pod is getting better each time. I’m so glad they kept the main thing the main thing… This is helping me improve my life and hopefully from it I can be better at all aspects in my life!!!!
lets not give up!
you aint Lie'n, I watched the one with Shaq and now this one and basically had to sub, its just too good.
Wishing you the best, Antonio.
A-Rod has “I’m running for governor” energy. Great Pod gents
The thing I like most about this podcast is that it's more of a platform for these athletes and public figures to tell their story versus a direct interview where it's just Q&A.
It's literally just like the homies having a normal 'catching up' conversation. Frfr
It's so good. It makes the guest comfortable because most other places, its like ants all over them and waiting for baited questions used to make them angry or defensive
I will continue to say this active listening is the gift of these three men. This allows the guest to fully articulate there points. I am so happy they have formed this podcast. Guys keep going / shinning
He just sounds, looks and acts like that different kinda money..so many lessons picked here. Good job guys bringing ARod on
Once again The Pivot Podcast raises the bar. The energy this team brings is unmatched.
That’s facts cuz
Arod didn’t allow questions on his roid use, why jeter hates him, or jlo
This is a phenomenal interview. Elevated conversation. ARod has never come across as more authentic and relatable. Looking forward to Part II.
Watch his interviews with Big Cat on The Corp
Exactly! The guys’ energy brings out the authenticity of all their guests👏🏽
@@shadowguy20004 those are great interviews but Arod isn't the subject of those interviews. This interview candidly sheds light on Arod and his evolution. Its clear that he has grown from his PED issue into highly evolved person that is actively leveraging his platform to uplift ppl of color in the realm of business.
@@PlutosMoon22 agreed
🎯
The Pivot is becoming some what of a NETWORK. First, outstanding guest and interviews. Next, “Breaking News”…the announcement of the retirement of Malcom Jenkins. Then, Live from Grambling University. Now, an episode with “cliff hangers”. BRILLIANT 🧠! When I saw, To Be Continued…I screamed OMG 😱, that was “BRILLIANT”. The Pivot has separated itself from ALL OTHER PODCASTS! I can’t wait to see what’s next. 🤩
This episode was 100% more than what I expected. Thank you gents for being wonderful.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: These 3 gentlemen simply make their guests feel COMFORTABLE. Ya know...if you're wondering why this podcast is THAT good, that's why.
Peace.
Yep, and I feel comfortable as a viewer. Channing the most high energy guy in the room but even with all his shenanigans, he knows how to talk to people. It's like making some hot beat, they got all the proper instruments and it's smooth as a MF.
@@icantbelieveitsnotbutter8851 Channing is amazing in his ability to be his crazy self while also asking some tough questions. He's like an icebreaker but instead of it happening at the beginning, he breaks the ice THE ENTIRE EPISODE. Yeah.
@@betabetapsi Super key component of the old and new show. Able to dive into many bags to switch up on the conversation. Was able to fix his spelling of his name before ppl jump on me lol thanks
A-Rod??? Wow…There’s levels to this 📈 Pivot is proving they’re the gold standard of sports podcast
The GOLD STANDARD INDEED!
The way A-Rod has rebuilt his legacy through business is so inspiring
Guys the production quality has skyrocketed!! The pivot logo with A-Rod speaking beside it was PRIMO!!! Loving the growth!! Part 2 can't wait!!!
Phenomenal. Gems being given out the gate. Another powerful moving episode, hands down!. The Pivot one of the best black podcast on and off CZcams.
One of the best podcasts period.
ARod’s best interview ever. He kept it 1000
I don't watch baseball. All I knew coming into this episode was that's a famous baseball player and J-Lo's ex. A-Rod is a full fledged business mogul and a walking business masterclass. I was taking notes the entire time. I'm so glad you guys showed this side of him. I enjoyed this!
Yet another outstanding episode from the Fellas. Had no idea Alex was so incredibly business savvy. Channing with the comic relief 👍, chalk up another one...
These men are getting it IN, shoutout to the Pivot putting that work in!!!
As someone who is driven and business minded, Arod is a treat to listen to
Arod is so transparent and resilient. Kudos to getting back up in the face of every challenge. Great interview.
Wow I’ve never seen A-Rod this transparent I use to not like him as much when I found out about the PED use, what I didn’t know or care to understand was he was human and we are all better then the worst mistake we’ve ever made, this interview has changed my perception the original A-Rod is a first class human being and deserves to be treated as such..💯🖤👑
I never liked A Rod because I thought he was a robot without self awareness but this Pivot interview made me totally change my mind about him. That therapy he did must’ve worked wonders!
No one rises out of poverty, performs at that level of excellence and expectation, and live to tell about it with no self awareness. They may be assholes but they're aware. And don't care.
It's bit that..people work for other people and can't really do what they want. He is his own man now. So he good..behind closed doors he probably been like this but couldn't show it in the public eye during his playing career
@@wjones8149 he never rose out of poverty 😂 Kendall isn’t the hood, it’s probably one of the safest neighborhoods in south FL. And he went to private school as well. He’s a cornball
Edit: Apparently calling people out for lying on where they grew up and making their own minority group look bad is glorifying the hood according to the idiots on this thread
That says a lot about you tho… no human being get that high up in achievements in life without awareness! It should have been obvious! Like even those you don’t like they all got high self awareness. They may do crazy things but they are definitely self aware
@@KingElement so he is a corn ball for not being in from the hood y’all glorify the hood to the point where it’s a flex it’s not it’s sad do better think better live better deprogram yo mindset
Yes this was a a great pod with A-Rod I even took notes!! And the camera angle with A-Rod and the Pivot sign behind him was fire!🔥 y’all should have a shot like that with every guest you have on, again keep it up fellas! 🔥
That's a great point!!!! It kept catching my eye.
I loved that camera angle too
Yes that angle was really poppin!
Great interview today we met AROD the kid from NYC / Miami, AROD the super ego mega star player , And then just the new readjusted Alex Rodriguez the humbling family and business man . Pivot crew hit it out the park !!!
Love A-Rod! Never will forget 2009 A-Rod...you held the Yanks down the entire season including the postseason! Epic convo right here!
That is a FACT
Crazy how Alex went from being public enemy #1 over the steroids to being loved by everybody.
The MLB is the cause of that. They just won't admit it
That's what dame does
🔥🔥🔥Arod is hella motivation man . Thanks Pivot for bringing a whole new perspective to me about one of the greatest sportsmen who has a lived. Walking living legend
You guys did it again!!
As a lifelong Yankee fan, I'm glad ARod got the opportunity to speak about his highs and his lows in his career. For a long time the media drove his narrative and it was always negative. I'm glad he was able to push through it and come out a success on the other end. Thanks for the motivation guys!!
As a latino specifically Dominican, I feel proud of AR, Thanks you guys The Pívot Cast were great in The interview, Congratulations guys, Hugges from Dominican Republic. Postdata:I Just suscribe to that wonderful Channel
It don’t matter who you guys bring in it’s just the conversation you guys have are fuego!
💯💯
Oh yeah, this is gonna be a great episode. Need to hear these stories. 🔥🔥👍🏾🤘🏾 The Pivot is definitely a top tier podcast!
A-Rod is my new hero.
Ps. I’m from the UK where we know nothing about baseball I only know his name because of American shows.But judging from the last two interviews I just watched... this is a GREAT mentor
Definitely digging the PIVOT podcast. I was a fan of I AM ATHLETE but you guys just completely won me over….you guys should interview Prince Fielder, Jeff Gordon and Travis Kielce! Great JOB 👏
Every week I'm impressed by the variety of your guests
Yo couldn’t even work I was glued to this interview….that was refreshing and real as can be…A rod wow the way he connected with his authenticity and whole life was awesome! Alright ready to take on the world let’s goooo!!!!!
Inspirational to say the least, not to mention forever grateful for the memories - 2009 Postseason - Crushed it with 6hrs, 5 Doubles, 19 Hits, 18RBI's. One of my favorite photo's of A Rod is a post that #13 had shared online with his girls on the farm Tractor - He's a great dad that passes it forward 24/7
A-Rod dropping knowledge all throughout this video.
I love how he spoke about AB. He love different. He's still a beast that wants to win. LET HIM BALL!!!🏈🥇🏆
A Rod seems super genuine when he speaks on his life experiences! Very humble individual. He explains things in a way that regular people can relate to, even tho hes A Rod and its nothing regular about him. 😅 great interview
Wow! You talk about a total transformation of a man! This A Rod interview is going to be a classic video tutorial on life, business and personal development! I’m amazed at how Alex turned his life around and he really seems genuine and self aware! Kudos to the Pivot for delivering another touchdown and home run! 👊🏽💯💪🏽🙌
A-Rod regurgitation of Rich Dad Poor Dad is spot on.
I’m glad ppl give A-Rod his props now because the hate was real when I was growing up lol and I was born 97 😂
Its amazing how you guys are able to get your guests so comfortable that they take the armor off and jus be so human and so approachable.
He answered every question openly. He acknowledged his mistakes and he educated us. This was a great interview.
Next episode wit Channing new teeth gonna be nuts 😂😂😂
The Pivot podcast is not playing. Keep going up fellas. You're all doing a great job👌
AT ALL!!! They ain't playin AT ALL!!!!!
The Pivot is one of the best podcasts created by former athletes in my opinion. They truly "pivot" from various topics to guest. Not the standard...continue the great content! SALUTE💯💯💯💯!
I love this episode. I teach financial literacy. Let's team up and teach the community. 💪🏾
These folks dropping shows like No Limit in the 90's! Keep doing yalls thing! 🙏🏾
I really enjoy how well rounded The Pivot is with guests. To hear an interview with Alex Rodriguez means a lot. If I have to pick the next baseball players to interview, I’d go get Derek Jeter and
CC Sabathia.
I’d love to see Mookie Betts on here as well
Yes!!! Derek Jeter
Jeter... Love him as a player, but he is too stuck up.
@@ramonsanots4902 he was cool on the knuckleheads podcast
Nah man let's Manny being Manny.
As a die hard Yankees fan, I am definitely looking forward to this convo! Let me quote Fat Joe and say The Pivot is "All The Way UP"!
A rod brought some real gems 💎 out! Real businessman mindset and I’m picking up the game along the way. Apttmh
I bet A Rod makes a LOT of money doing speaking engagements for businesses. The way he carried himself in this interview felt like an informal Ted Talk. I love the content The Pivot keeps putting out. You get the full spectrum of an athlete's life. This may not be the most entertaining interview but its definitely going to help someone get some money.
You guys continue to soar to great heights. Don’t recall seeing an interview where Alex was so open. Love his advice and business acumen. A very reflective Alex Rodriguez on his life, struggles and triumphs. Can’t wait to see part 2. Keep doing it fellas, your content is head and shoulders above the rest.💪🏿🙌🏽💪🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💯.
A Rod came looking like the president
20:06 "You are an average of the first 5 people you surround yourself with" Anybody else impressed by how knowledgeable Arod is?
Wow..this show was absolutely a GIFT. GEMS hidden and seen were disseminated on this showing..I love Men showing that they can do more than entertain but teach lessons.
This show is what it is because of its honesty. RC, Fred & Chan’s honesty is infectious to the point that the guest can’t help but be 100% honest as well. Keep it going fellas 💪🏾
I appreciate the green,yellow,and red approach and plan on using that in my daily routines 🙌 blessed 🙌
Mr. Fred Taylor, Mr. Channing Crowder , Mr. Ryan Clark, & Mr. Alex Rodriguez Thank you for your time.
Y’all flat foot killin the podcast game 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Podcast never lets me down! The advice given in this episode was truly inspirational
feel like these guys are some of the realist people doing pods. they seem so down to earth would love to have a drink with these guys.
Loved that ARod did not hide !! Love it!!
Wow, my entire perspective on arod has changed. Phenomenal interview. Can’t wait for part 2
Alex Rodriquez speaking facts. Home purchase is a liability because its not backed by cashflow. Multifamily unit is an asset because its backed up by monthly cashflow plus the option to live in a unit for free.
Elevated Homeboy conversation...I'm here for it!!! Very nice 'pivot' from that other gig ✌🏿
I watch this 5 times already this really means a lot that you can overcome anything
the thing Arod said about AB took my respect for him up several notches. Compassion, acceptance, allowance, unconditional love... kudos to you
The Pivot Podcast crew's careers in media are about to compete with their careers on the field! Sheesh, they never let us down. Great episode!
A-Rod dropping some nuggets for everyone 👏🏾👏🏾
Best guest y’all had yet. AROD is a smart business man. Love what y’all brotha’s are doing. 💪🏾🙏🏾
One of the best interviews so far.
👍🏿 Its crazy how I've seen several of their guest in other interviews over the years, but I get a greater appreciation for them after they come on the Pivot.
I have honestly never listened to Arod speak before but I'm impressed. I stay learning from this podcast 💯
I never knew A-Rod was this hood, you can't never judge a book by its cover! The Pivot stay bringing that heat, they got the Podcast game in a chokehold!! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
this one of their best episodes from start to finish, 10/10 wow The Pivot is taking over
Great interview!! Alex gave so much of himself in this interview. I can’t wait for part 2♥️
Great A.Rod podcast…Money walks in…..To be continue….Damn!!!!
Ryan, Fred, and Channing you're doing an outstanding job.
I hope a lot of young athletes and young men are young women had a chance to watch this podcast about investing their money and money management great job Guys...👊🏿
Yo, it’s some real leadership qualities in A ROD. It would be dope to just have lunch with these kings and just soak up game!
This was a phenomenal conversation so many gems dropped just within the first few minutes. A. Rod had so much eye opening info and his ability to breakdown the lane(s) he’s in now is so legit and the questions the fellas was asking and things they inquired about mad this joint top tier. Y’all without a doubt produced another banger!!! Now with all that being said a guess that I think would be a massive sit down is someone who pivoted multiple times throughout their life and to me with each pivot it was beyond next level and that’s Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
this amazing dawg. I'm from south Florida n A-Rod has been on my wall since I was a kid n to see him come from Miami n do what he did a long with other Miami greats always makes me smile cuz we made it out. I make my son watch every episode of the pivot n then we have a a conversation afterwards about what was discussed on the show. it's definitely helping us stay close as father n son. Thank you Men of color for giving back it's greatly appreciated.
Great interview!! Just to clarify..Kendall is not the hood.
This episode is legendary
A-Rod needs to develop a financial literacy online course. I'm learning a lot!
Best episode to date - A-Rod with Gems. Love his mindset.
Amazing is an understatement. No frills, all knowledge, and very inspirational.
