The following podcast is a deer media production.

Welcome back to another episode of Trading Secrets.

Today, we are talking with a former professional football player who went from injured to broke,

from living on his sister's couch for over a year to being recognized by the White House

So while we're kind of getting to where you are today, I want to take a few steps back to

understand further how you got there. And I'm curious, what really was it that made you take that leap

of faith from education and studies to pursuing professional sports?

As long as I remember I made five years old, I always had something that was pulling me.

Like something was calling me. I didn't know what the calling was, but I felt like something inside

of like below my chest, above my stomach in the middle, it was just like pulling me forward.

And I remember being very confused as a young kid just unsure of why I was here.

My purpose, I don't know if anyone else has ever felt that.

But at the same time, I was confused. I just felt like I'm not here for a reason.
