The Rolex That Made Me Friends With Reggie Jackson

A Rolex started a conversation on a plane—and that conversation turned into a friendship with Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson. In this video, I share the real stories behind my luxury watch collection and explain why a meaningful watch is more than a status symbol. Every Rolex, Panerai, and milestone watch in my collection represents a business goal, personal achievement, difficult season, important relationship, or reminder of the man I committed to becoming. You’ll hear how I rewarded myself with my first Rolex Yacht-Master II after earning $25,000 per month for three consecutive months, why the Rolex Deepsea James Cameron marks my first $1 million year, and how an all-gold Rolex Submariner became a reminder of closing a major business deal with Tony Robbins and launching Life Force. I also share the meaning behind my Rolex GMT-Master II “Root Beer,” the watches I regret selling—including my Rolex Sky-Dweller—and what I learned about buying watches as investments. This is not simply a Rolex collection tour. It is a conversation about entrepreneurship, goal setting, resilience, sobriety, family, and using meaningful rewards to remember what you have accomplished. I explain why I gave a Panerai to my brother after we both quit drinking, why passing a TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch to my son mattered, and how watches can create connections that money alone cannot buy. You’ll also hear the full story of meeting Reggie Jackson on a flight, bonding over Rolex Daytona watches and Porsche cars, and discovering that the stranger sitting beside me was “Mr. October” himself.
