Bo Eason started his career in the NFL as a top pick for the
Houston Oilers. Continuing on with the San Francisco 49ers, during
his 5-year career Bo competed beside and against some of the
greatest players of his generation.
After his football career ended, he branched out into acting
and wrote a one-man play called Runt of the Litter that had an
extended off-Broadway and 50- city national run.
Now in his third act, as a speaker and leadership coach, he
trains some of the most successful people in the world— athletes,
artists, entrepreneurs, C-suite execs—on how to communicate for
maximum impact and success. He has consulted for clients like
Advisors Excel, Morgan Stanley, Dimensional Fund Advisors, Mass
Mutual, Guardian, Merrill Lynch and Bank of America.
