The 3 I's That Took This NFL Pro From the Field to M&A: Intelligence, Initiative, Integrity

0:04Alvin Scioneaux, Jr.: Alvin CNO, what's up, bro? Yes, yes. How you doing? Good. You're blessed. You look great today, bro. You guys are all just amazing. I love this. So NFL, you were with CFL, kick some butt, living in Southern California now, Orange County. Cool. Yes. So what visualization affirmation rituals did you use to become one of the top one percenters? Also a great question, Bronson. So visualization to be a top 0.1 percenter. For me, I really broke it down to focused diversity, which I know may be an oxymoron, you know, anonym to most people. However, I always say we cannot multi-focus, but we can multi-task in the sense of on a day-to-day basis, when I was playing football, for example, every single day I worked on one thing.

1:07Alvin Scioneaux, Jr.: So today I'm doing all footwork, working footwork drills, lateral, vertical, doing different movements on Monday. Great. Tuesday come, now we're working hands. We're doing shock and shed for all my defensive players, knowing how to rip through, get off of blocks, things of that sort. So every single day I'm focused on one thing, but throughout the week I'm diversifying so that now I have multiple tools in the tool belt. Come Sunday, we can execute. That's amazing, bro. Appreciate it. What's a$1 million lesson that you've learned in your life that you can share? $1 million lesson. Well, first of all,$1 million is not what it used to be.

1:54That is a good lesson right there.

1:56Alvin Scioneaux, Jr.: You know, that's first things first. But I would say, you know, for 2026, the 10 million dollar lesson is first, my life has really been predicated foundationally on self-belief. I'm the third of eight kids. So, you know, anybody here have at least eight kids? nobody so we want to be on the same page my parents on the other hand you know they they popped a lot of us out so it really it really taught how one understanding how you stand out right you you have a crowded uh household uh two understanding how to be proactive in an execution of that self-belief. So, you know, for example, my mom would make food and you do not want to be the eighth person to come to the kitchen.

2:54Alvin Scioneaux, Jr.: You know, you have to take some initiative and be quick to it. And then lastly, I would say that the third component is your environment. So, you know, first belief is, I call them the three I's, the intelligence, initiative, and integrity. So I'm working on my belief, my mindset. I'm working on my initiative, taking action, moving. And then also the third is integrity, which is, you know, internally, but also your environment, right? Whenever you're partnering up on deals, my teammates, whenever we're working on a play, right, we've got 11 people on the football field. I am trusting that everyone will do their job.

3:36Alvin Scioneaux, Jr.: I do my job. You know, we can win the game, Right. So, you know, kind of go back to the the Bill Belichick, you know, everybody do your job mantra. So I'll say those three things really are foundational for for me as an athlete, making it to the NFL. Even now as an aerospace engineer working in real estate as an investor, you know, the various different avenues and industries I've been in have all centered around those three things. So tell me what you're up to now. So now we're staying busy. I have a 17-month-old, so I'm not going after eight like my parents, but he is keeping us busy, working as a program manager and director for operations on the M &A side, so taking$10 million companies to help them execute and be worth$100 million.

4:29Alvin Scioneaux, Jr.: My background before that was mostly in real estate, so doing a lot of syndications. I'm actually currently working on a ground-up development project, multi-unit, four units out here in L.A., which is equivalent to like 30 units in most of the country. So, you know, staying busy and coming to conferences like this, you know, meeting people like Daniel, you everybody up stage everybody on stage everybody in the crowd uh you know going back to that last piece the integrity environment right um you're the average of the five people around you so i like to stay around great people so i can keep sharpening myself as well nice bro thank you so much appreciate appreciate coming thank you join the family office club by visiting family offices.com we look forward to seeing you at our next live event
