Andy Reid
After winning his first Super Bowl in 2020 as head coach, Andy Reid guided the Kansas City Chiefs to back-to-back Super Bowl victories in Super Bowl LVII (2023) and Super Bowl LVIII (2024), defeating the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, respectively, making the Chiefs the first team to win consecutive titles since the 2004 Patriots. Over his career, Reid has appeared in six Super Bowls as a head coach: one with the Eagles and five with the Chiefs, including a trip to Super Bowl LIX at the end of the 2024 season. Following the departures of Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh after the 2025 season, he became the NFL’s longest-tenured active head coach with a single team, entering his 14th season with Kansas City in 2026. Reid is the first coach to become the winningest in two franchises’ histories (Chiefs and Eagles) and holds an overall regular season record of 279-157-1 and a postseason record of 28-17 as of the end of 2025. Entering his 28th season as an NFL head coach, his combined 307 regular-season and postseason wins rank fourth in NFL history and first among active coaches. Beyond football, Reid has appeared in commercials for State Farm, Snickers and Pringles, and made a cameo as himself in the 2024 Hallmark film “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.”
Taylor Sheridan
Taylor Sheridan is an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, Emmy Award-nominated producer and the creator, writer, director and executive producer of multiple record-breaking Paramount Network series, including “Yellowstone,” “Mayor of Kingstown,” “Tulsa King,” “1883,” “Lioness” and “Landman.”
Sheridan currently has numerous projects in various stages of development and production. His newest project, “The Madison,” is currently in production and set to release in early 2026, staring Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, Matthew Fox and Patrick J. Adams. The show is a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana. The second season of “1923,” starring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, premiered in February 2025 to much excitement.
Sheridan made his debut as a writer/director in 2017 with his critically acclaimed film “Wind River,” the conclusion to his modern frontier trilogy, earning Best Director honors at the Cannes Film Festival. He previously wrote “Hell or High Water,” a drama that was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay.
Mike Pompeo
Michael R. Pompeo served as the 70th U.S. secretary of state, director of the CIA and was elected to four terms in Congress. Pompeo graduated first in his class from the United States Military Academy West Point in 1986 and served as a cavalry officer in the U.S. Army. Pompeo left the military in 1991 and then graduated from Harvard Law School. Up next was almost a decade leading two manufacturing businesses in Kansas.
In 2010, Pompeo decided to run for Congress. He won and was re-elected three more times. Becoming America’s most senior spy, the director of the CIA, was Pompeo’s next chance to champion American values. President Trump saw that good work and decided to make Pompeo America’s 70th secretary of state. As our nation’s most senior diplomat, Pompeo helped to craft U.S. foreign policy. America became a massive energy exporter and a force for good in the Middle East, with real peace cemented in the Abraham Accords.
Since leaving government, Pompeo has remained active on the global stage advancing American interests. Currently, he serves as a partner in Niobrara Investment Partners, a private equity firm he co-founded, is of counsel at Torridon Law and chairs the Helms School of Government at Liberty University.
