Tom Izzo Talks Business At Mackinac Policy Conference

MACKINAC ISLAND (WWJ) - Sports and business are mixing at the Mackinac Policy Conference, hosted by the Detroit Regional Chamber this week on Mackinac Island.

Talking one-on-one with WWJ Newsradio 950's Vickie Thomas, Michigan State University men's basketball head coach Tom Izzo offered this advice to business leaders:

"Have a good leader, have everyone on the same page, take ownership in our company and your team," said Izzo. "I think that those are the things that are key ... chemistry is so key. You know, I don't care if you're at a radio station or if you have a football or basketball team," he said.

Izzo also touched on another important relationship.

Wednesday Izzo and his wife are celebrating their 19th wedding anniversary. "She talks, I listen, you know. It's a good deal," said Izzo.
