The purported GOAT of basketball, Michael Jordan, even said so in a famous 1997 Nike commercial: \u201cI\u2019ve failed over and over and over again in my life\u201d and that\u2019s why he\u2019s so successful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sports professionals expect some losses, and expect to learn from them. Well, that\u2019s too bad for Mike Tomlin, he\u2019ll never know. During his 19 years at the helm of the Pittsburgh Steelers, he never had a losing season. In fact, he even brought home a Super Bowl trophy. But perhaps the most surprising part of that run, the NFL coach recently revealed, was that he was also building an elaborate city in Minecraft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 54-year-old, who reportedly earned a $16 million salary in 2025, launched his own YouTube channel last week, showing off the sprawling virtual city. His first episode, titled \u201cROOFTOPS, PENTHOUSES, AND URBAN LIVING,\u201d has already racked up more than 3.4 million views. In it, Tomlin takes viewers through a virtual metropolis complete with high-rise apartments, a speakeasy, an aquarium, and a baseball stadium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI really got obsessed with rooftop penthouses,\u201d Tomlin said in the video which spread across social media platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reactions, however, ranged from pure fascination and respect for his 12-year project to critics questioning whether Tomlin, who parted ways with the Steelers in January of this year, had devoted too much time to his virtual city. The debate highlighted the tricky balance between work and leisure, particularly for people in demanding careers: Hobbies can become distractions, but they can also provide a much-needed break from professional pressures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He holds the NFL record for the longest unbroken winning-season streak. But that doesn\u2019t seem enough for his critics, who argue that\u2019s why the Steelers can\u2019t beat the Patriots. \u201cHe\u2019s building worlds, but he ain\u2019t making plays for me,\u201d said former Steelers running back Le\u2019Veon Bell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomlin isn\u2019t the only high-profile figure with an unexpected way to unwind. From investor Warren Buffett watching YouTube to Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon DJing, many top leaders have adopted pastimes that let them step away from work\u2014and may even help them perform better when they return.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hobbies like Minecraft can help people recover from work stress, expert says<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charles Calderwood, director of the Work Stress and Recovery Lab at Virginia Tech University, told <em>Fortune<\/em> that engaging in hobbies and other activities outside of work can help people recover from job-related stress, benefiting their overall health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That recovery can be particularly important for people in demanding jobs with unpredictable schedules, such as NFL coaches.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs you face more demands and are more stressed out, you need recovery more, but you\u2019re less able to get it,\u201d Calderwood said. \u201cIt can create this self-perpetuating cycle over time, where you just become more and more drained, and maybe that leads to burnout or diminished job performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, not every activity that appears productive or beneficial necessarily helps people recover. Many executives, such as the CEOs of Starbucks and Chipotle for example, tout early-morning work routines as a key to their success. But Calderwood cautioned that such habits can come at a cost if they cut into the time people need to recharge\u2014or even cause injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Tomlin\u2019s part, he said he originally became interested in the sandbox game not necessarily as an escape from the competitive football season but because he wanted to connect with his then-teenage sons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI got interested because I just was mesmerized by what could occupy their attention for such large periods of time,\u201d Tomlin said earlier this month on <em>Late Night with Seth Meyers.<\/em> As his sons moved on to high school and college, they spent less time playing, but Tomlin found himself spending more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI kind of stumbled into the therapeutic component of it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tomlin declined Fortune\u2019s request for comment.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Warren Buffett to David Solomon, many top business leaders aren\u2019t afraid to admit they need to escape from business\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomlin also suggested that his hobby isn\u2019t necessarily unusual. And he has a point: Some of the world\u2019s most successful people have their own ways of unwinding that have little to do with their day jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Billionaire investor Warren Buffett, for example, spends his evenings watching YouTube on his television, <em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em> reported this week. His viewing has little to do with finance, ranging from 1950s commercials to Uzbekistan\u2019s version of America\u2019s Got Talent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elon Musk, the world\u2019s richest person, has long been an avid video game player. The billionaire has logged on to games such as <em>Path of Exile 2<\/em>, <em>Diablo IV<\/em>, and <em>Elden Ring<\/em>, sometimes livestreaming his sessions. Just this week, he posted about <em>World of Warcraft<\/em> on X.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has been among the most vocal about his hobby\u2014DJing\u2014and the benefits it brings him both personally and professionally. The banking chief, whose total compensation reached $47 million in 2025, has built an audience of over 250,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I\u2019m doing this, [DJing], I am a 100% present, my mind is 100% clear,\u201d he said in a 2018 interview with PayPal CEO Dan Schulman. \u201cAnd I actually find that after doing it, the next day, I\u2019ve got room to think about and make decisions about other things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solomon stepped back from performing at public events in 2023, citing the media attention surrounding his DJ career became a distraction. He has also spoken about how hobbies can open the door to new connections and experiences beyond the workplace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of the great things about passions and hobbies and interests is you wind up doing them or meeting people you know through those endeavors and that enriches your life,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomlin, meanwhile, has already found a community of his own among millions of Minecraft fans, many of whom have praised his commitment to the project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is my Super Bowl,\u201d one top commenter wrote on his video.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Warren #Buffett #watches #YouTube #David #Solomon #DJs #NFL #coach #spent #years #playing #Minecraft<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most professional coaches and &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6477,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4133,1574,1404,3283,2687,1741,1671,9576,3150,666,9577,616,6229,9575,1386,5227,4132,8428,2759,2497,84,3122],"class_list":["post-6476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance-news","tag-buffett","tag-building-your-career","tag-career-advice","tag-career-tips","tag-careers","tag-coach","tag-david","tag-djs","tag-football","tag-games","tag-minecraft","tag-nfl","tag-playing","tag-solomon","tag-spent","tag-video-games","tag-warren","tag-watches","tag-work-life","tag-work-life-balance","tag-years","tag-youtube"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
