Due to My Role
Due To My Role is where PE Guy sits down with substantial founders, comedians, and the most interesting people on the internet to talk money, power, taste, and how it really all works behind the scenes. We get into how they made it, how they spend it, who they know, and where they actually hang when the cameras are off.
Expect conversations about real exits, private equity, absurd lifestyles, exclusive clubs, quiet flexes, catastrophic mistakes, and the decisions that separate operators from spectators. If you want polite success stories, this isn’t that. If you want the unfiltered version of money, influence, and identity — welcome to the table.

Due To My Role | Life After Wimbledon Isn't What You Expect— Sam Querrey & John Isner | EP 003
In Episode 003 of Due To My Role, Johnny Hilbrant (aka PE Guy) sits down with former professional tennis players John Isner and Sam Querrey to talk about what actually happens after elite sports — when the career ends, the prime earning window closes, and identity has to be rebuilt from scratch.
They break down John’s historic 11-hour Wimbledon match that changed the rules of tennis forever, Sam’s blunt take on being priced out of the US Open as a spectator, and how corporate money and influencer culture have reshaped live sports. It’s a candid look at the truth behind money, lifestyle, and what happens when an athletic career ends sooner than most people expect.
This episode dives into retirement shock, staying relevant after the spotlight fades, and the second act through broadcasting, podcasting, and new ventures. If you’re interested in competition, ego, reinvention, and the reality behind high-performance careers — this one hits.
