Joey Feste Celebrates Von Miller’s Six-Year Deal with the Buffalo Bills

As his financial advisor and mentor, Joey Feste celebrates Von Miller's six-year deal with the Buffalo Bills. He also cannot help but applauded Miller's ability to connect with his new teammates, especially in light of the open interview with the team's sports psychologist. With his teammates nearby, he shared his approach to life, football, and seeing the big picture, helping get everyone motivated for the season ahead.

A Breathtaking Approach to Life in General

Von Miller aims to keep a healthy mental outlook in all he does. From playing football to navigating life's challenges, he keeps a focus on the positives always. On the field, he learns from bad plays but then lets it go to start anew and keep the momentum going. His focus stays on the next play in the works to ensure every move gets his full attention, so he can get great results every time.

He shares the love with his team by always serving as an open book. When his teammates want to know how he prepares for the games ahead or approaches each play, he's happy to share his knowledge with them all. Strong connections arise out of his willingness to share what makes him tick, helping create a cohesive team that's ready to play at its best. He's well known as a future Hall of Famer as a result of his refreshing approach to playing the game and winning at life in general.

Miller's Commitment to Honoring His Mentors

Von Miller purposefully shares all he knows and offers support to his teammates in an effort to pay it forward. He has received endless support from many top-notch mentors and advisors through the years, after all, helping cement his road to victory in every way possible. The mentors that have made the biggest impact on Miller include:

Joby Branion

As Von Miller set his sights on his next big career move, he had his agent, Joby Branion, offering guidance, insights, and support every step of the way. At the latest draft, Miller had 10 teams to choose from, although the Bills and Rams were the main contenders.

Branion assisted with over seven hours of negotiations, too, helping nab the ideal terms for the lengthy agreement. His efforts resulted in a six-year $120 million deal with $45 million paid at signing. Not bad at all for a 33-year-old football player, especially since the Rams offered half that.

Although it might seem like the Bills were an obvious pick, Von Miller struggled with the decision. Branion came through in a big way by reminding Miller of past decisions and the importance of progress. Although Miller's loyalty to the Rams wanted to win out, he took his agent's advice and accepted the offer.

DeMarcus Ware

While playing for the Denver Broncos, Von Miller had the opportunity to learn from none other than DeMarcus Ware. The team brought Ware into the mix to improve their pass rush while giving Miller the guidance he needed to succeed. Their efforts paid out in dividends as the duo grew close both on and off the field.

Ware served as a mentor and confidant, helping Von Miller put bad habits to rest and focus on achieving his career goals. He learned what it would take to become a superstar, including how to play the game, handle media opportunities, and maintain a great work-life balance.

Through their collaboration, they moved forward toward reaching their goals and won the 2015 Super Bowl together. Soon after that, Miller was traded to the Rams, but he never forgot the lessons learned from DeMarcus Ware.

Joey Feste

Joey Feste proudly serves as Von Miller's financial advisor and mentor, helping him understand how to best use his money to his advantage. Without his help, the millions earned across the six-year deal might not go as far in helping Miller achieve all his life's goals.

As senior managing partner of Capital Management, Feste works closely with his son, Joey Feste Jr., to help make big things happen for all their clients. As Vice President of the firm, Joey Feste Jr. brings ample knowledge and insights to the table, allowing him to proudly help Miller and many other clients build their wealth.

Joey Feste and Joey Feste Jr. collaborate on how to best support Miller's pursuits and help him achieve all his goals. Their support proves invaluable as he thinks about the long-term and how to make the greatest impact on the world.

All these mentors have inspired Von Miller to follow in their footsteps. It's now his time to shine in serving as a mentor to his fellow football players.

For the past six years, he has already started to give back through his Von Miller Pass Rush Summit. Through that experience, the top pass rushers in football get to come together to share ideas and support each other in achieving their career goals.

More is to come from Miller, too, especially if he achieves his own dream of winning more Super Bowls. He first has to put his all into his new role with the Buffalo Bills to help the team make it to the Super Bowl for 2023.

A New Team Reignites Dreams of Winning More Super Bowls

As a part of the 4-3 defense for the Bills, Von Miller will now play as a stand-up end instead of his prior role as a linebacker. He will have less time out on the field as well to ensure his presence has the intended impact on the game. Despite the changes, Miller remains highly optimistic about the future. His ability to play such an important role on a new team has ignited his dreams of winning more Super Bowls.

Big wins in his personal life help drive his thirst for success on the field. He has a one-year-old son, Valor, who has helped him stay grounded and focused as he moves through his day-to-day challenges. Plus, he has another little one on the way, filling his heart with pride as he looks at his ever-growing family.

Off the field, Von Miller hopes to make waves in the food industry, starting with his chicken enterprise. He's set to open a chicken processing plant in December and will continue to build upon his empire after that. Financial advisor Joey Feste will undoubtedly play a big role in helping make his money moves a big success, especially as his enterprise grows and thrives through the years.
