Next is delighted to welcome John U. Bacon! As a New York Times bestselling author, Mr. Bacon has written thirteen books on sports, business, health, and history — seven of them national bestsellers.

John freelances for The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo, and others, appears often on TV, including HBO, ESPN, and the Big Ten Network — and also delivers weekly essays for Michigan Radio, where he won the prize for the nation’s best commentary in 2014. He is a popular corporate speaker and leadership consultant, who occasionally teaches at the University of Michigan — where the students awarded him the Golden Apple Award, given to one instructor annually for “Excellence in Teaching.” He lives in Ann Arbor with his wife and son. Good Morning America calls him “The REAL Ted Lasso.”
