What does it take to build a truly great culture—in sports, business, or life? Few have lived that answer as powerfully as Ben Utecht, former NFL tight end, Super Bowl champion, and now a national leader in organizational culture. His upcoming cityCURRENT event offers more than inspiration—it delivers the actionable strategies you need to build a winning culture, starting now.

Ben Utecht’s story radiates resilience and vision. Emerging from small-town roots in Minnesota, Ben became a collegiate football standout, four-year starter, and team captain at the University of Minnesota. Against the odds, he forged a career in the NFL as a key player for the Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals, earning his Super Bowl ring in a career defined by grit, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

After a career-ending concussion, Ben didn’t just pivot—he reinvented himself. Rising as a Dove Award-nominated recording artist and later as an executive coach and Chief Culture Officer, his journey is a testament to turning adversity into opportunity. Today, Ben guides business leaders to shape intentional organizational cultures, sharing a six-step system proven to spark engagement, accountability, and measurable results.

Why should you make time for this event? Ben’s message isn’t theory; it’s lived wisdom from locker rooms and boardrooms alike. He’ll show you how championship culture is fostered, not found—how shared values and visionary leadership turn good teams into great ones. Attendees will walk away energized and equipped to:

• Define and launch a purposeful “culture creed”
• Build leadership practices that drive engagement
• Inspire transformation through adversity and teamwork
