As big believers in the power of data and evidence—whether it’s in investing, medicine, or sports—we’re thrilled to share this exceptional podcast episode featuring Jeff Luhnow, a valued client of Hill Investment Group. Jeff is a former St. Louis Cardinals leader, GM of the World Champion Houston Astros, and now a European Football (or soccer, for most Americans) Champion.

In this conversation, Jeff dives into the keys to success across business and sports, illustrating how interconnected these areas truly are. Remarkably, Jeff has applied his expertise in engineering, consulting, entrepreneurship, and team building to a sport he knew little about just a few years ago, achieving incredible success on the pitch (the field).

One of our favorite moments from the podcast is when Jeff shares: “The principles that drive success—whether in baseball, soccer, or business—are rooted in understanding the numbers, building the right team, and having the patience to see the vision through.”

Jeff’s career journey exemplifies a data-driven mindset and the power of taking the long view—principles that resonate deeply with us and guide our own work. We’re proud to support leaders like Jeff who embody these values. We think you’ll find his insights as inspiring as we do.
