Ever wondered how chasing tennis balls can turn into chasing business dreams? 🎾💼

In this episode of the 8th Gear Podcast, we serve up an electrifying chat with Myles Binford — founder of Binford Mortgage — who spills how a late start in tennis morphed into pro aspirations, run-ins with legends like Andre Agassi (yes, the Agassi!), and eventually a thriving entrepreneurial career.

• Why he thought tennis was a “sissy sport” — and how it totally humbled him.
• Training alongside tennis royalty like Agassi and Sampras (including a wild story where Pete Sampras saved him from heatstroke!).
• The painful lesson of being held back in elite tennis academies — and how it mirrors the world of business suppression.
• How conquering fear and asking the right questions became his ultimate entrepreneurial superpower.
• Insights into creating cash flow vs. just making money — and why passion alone isn’t enough if you’re building a business.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur grinding through business barriers or a tennis fan fascinated by behind-the-scenes stories of the sport’s legends, this episode will motivate you to swing bigger and hustle harder.

🔥 Pro Tip from Miles: “Nobody could say I couldn’t do something. And if they did — it fueled me even more.”
