Hello and welcome to Redirected, a podcast where we sit down with celebrities, entrepreneurs,

and elite-level athletes to hear how they handle life's unexpected events.

Each of our guests have reached an incredible amount of success by responding to life's

moments of adversity and uncertainty extremely well.

I'm your host Andrew East, engineer, turn professional athlete, turn entrepreneur,

and I'm super excited to bring these stories to you to help inspire you to reach your dreams

and to help you learn how to respond instead of react.

Our guest today is Ross Smith, and in today's discussion we talk about how he transitioned

from being an elite-level football player into the new and emerging career of being an online influencer.

We talk about how he structures his day and his creative process.

Guys, if you want to connect with Ross on social media, you can find him on Twitter and Instagram

at SmoothSmith8.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am super excited to bring you Ross Smith.

I mean, we're out in the balcony, though.
