American Operator

From the NFL to Accounting Firm Owner | Career Pivots into Family Business

Joseph Cabrera

What happens when a high-performing NFL player doesn’t get re-signed — and decides to buy an accounting firm instead?

In this episode of American Operator, I sit down with Jason and Jeff Driskel, two brothers who took a bold bet on themselves. One brought NFL discipline. The other brought tax code. Together, they’re building something that gives freedom, security, and ownership to their future — on their own terms.

This is a story about reinvention, risk, and rewriting your path when the old one gets cut.

💥 Whether you're navigating a career pivot, chasing ownership, or trying to align work with purpose — this one's for you.
