And meaningful work is something almost everyone craves. That’s why I have always felt that building a business is a noble cause. By creating and running great businesses, we satisfy our need to help others even as we provide for our own needs. This dynamic is, in large part, why we are excited to relaunch Texas CEO Magazine with the mission of helping CEOs across Texas grow their businesses and master their role as head of the organization. Whether that organization is public or private, for-profit or nonprofit, large or small, we all face similar challenges. We hope that Texas CEO Magazine can become your best and most trusted source for information on the CEO role and the state of business in Texas—and become a part of your personal CEO journey too. We intend to do this not only through ideas and insights in the magazine but through events, podcasts, and newsletters that allow you to access our content in whatever way is most convenient for you. Texas is one of the great states for sports, and that’s one reason we chose sports as the theme of our relaunch issue. Here, football is king: We’re the state of Friday Night Lights, epic college football rivalries, and the Dallas Cowboys (the world’s most valuable sports team, worth an estimated $5 billion). But that’s only part of the Texas sports story. Whether it’s our forthcoming third Major League Soccer team or our growing esports scene, Texans love sport of all kinds—and spend a lot of money on it. There’s also an even deeper connection between sport and business. Great coaches and great athletes hold lessons for every CEO, about leadership, strategy, endurance, and so much more. We will explore a few of those lessons throughout this issue. As Texas CEO Magazine moves forward, we would like to include you in the conversation. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have story ideas, WE WOULD LIKE CEOs you think we should profile, or CEO issues you want us to cover. TO INCLUDE YOU IN Get in touch anytime at [email protected].

The global pandemic struck first, followed by an economic meltdown. Then civil unrest broke out in the streets, from Hong Kong to London and across the United States, which reckoned with mass protests over police brutality, racial injustice, one of the most divisive US presidential elections in modern history, and an even more unsettling post-election period. This confluence of crises—spilling into the new year—has demanded much of us all. I’m proud to say that we, as a firm, have risen to meet these challenges, rallying to help our clients and communities get through some of the darkest days and turn toward a brighter future. In the worst of times, O’Melveny is at its best. As the virus spread, we quickly assembled a firmwide Coronavirus Task Force, bringing together lawyers from different practice groups and offices to advise clients on a host of COVID-related concerns. When California’s governor needed to secure additional beds by reopening a shuttered hospital in Los Angeles and revitalizing an underutilized facility in the San Francisco Bay Area, he turned to O’Melveny, as did dozens of other clients in industries as diverse as consumer products, entertainment, financial services, health care, and insurance.
