Inspiring video: Steve Young wants you to challenge yourself to see how good you can be

Like only a Hall of Fame quarterback could do, Steve Young pumped up the audience at our PartnerConnect West conference earlier this month. Young, who co-founded private equity firm HGGC after retiring from football, had the crowd hanging on his every word as he shared his journey from the grid iron to the boardroom.
