In this episode of the Tax Rep Network Podcast, Eric Green shares a powerful lesson sparked by a conversation with former New York Giants legend Leonard Marshall. Reflecting on the iconic 1990 NFC Championship hit on Joe Montana, Eric breaks down the mindset that separates the ordinary from the elite: never quit.
At LSU, Leonard was taught that “the ground is hot” — if you’re down, you get up. Fast. That same mentality applies to building a tax representation practice. Success isn’t built on the easy days. It’s built on the dark, frustrating, stormy days when you want to quit — but don’t.
Eric connects this championship-level discipline to growing a million-dollar practice: keep producing content, keep speaking, keep marketing, keep grinding. It must work — if you don’t stop.
If you want next-level results, you need next-level persistence. Brick by brick. Play by play. No quitting.

The IRS has fewer employees. Artificial intelligence is taking on a bigger role. Enforcement is becoming more targeted. And the way cases are selected, worked—and appealed—may be about to change dramatically.
