Intellect, Humility, and Success: A Rare and Powerful Combination

Intellect, humility, and success are a rare — and powerful — combination.

We were invited by our partners at Mercurius Media Capital to the Major League Cricket match between the San Francisco Unicorns and Los Angeles Knight Riders. No networking.

Chris Happ, Ian Dilley, and I had a robust, academic, and genuinely enjoyable discussion in an incredible setting.

Midway through the match, we had the chance to meet someone whose presence immediately stood out.

He was light on personal resume and heavy on the growth and education of cricket in the United States — especially for young people.

I didn’t know his background until I looked him up, but his ability to communicate with clarity, passion, and genuine humility was exceptional.

His name is Shivnarine Chanderpaul (gentlemen in the middle below).

Look him up. He is not on LinkedIn

Intellect, humility, and success.

"Shiv" embodies what separates truly effective people: sharp strategic thinking paired with self-awareness. They create lasting value because they see success as a shared journey rather than a personal scoreboard.

These are the “next-level” individuals who understand they’re part of something bigger than themselves.

Innovation and disruption in any industry or venture are driven by those who have a commitment to the collective journey.

Cricket will succeed in the United States, and the visionaries/pioneers building the game are innovators in other industries who are leaders.

If you want your young people to get involved look up the Seattle Orcas, Texas Super Kings,Knight Riders Sports - Kolkata, Trinbago, Abu Dhabi and Los Angeles Knight Riders and reach out.
