This is the Read to Lead podcast, episode 358.

At that point in time, my reasons for ending my life were over.

I was going to begin something new, turning a negative into a positive.

And that's what I did.

Hi, and welcome to the Read to Lead podcast. My name is Jeff. This is the podcast. It's

dedicated to your personal and professional growth, where I believe that if you want to achieve

true success in your business and in your life, then intentional and consistent reading is a must.

To help with that, I'm joined each and every week by an author to chat about their latest book

and their unique insights on things like personal and professional development, leadership,

productivity, career, business, marketing, sales, and entrepreneurship, among other things.

Today, we're joined by NFL great Reggie Williams as we dive into his new book,

Resilient by Nature, reflections from a life of winning on and off the football field.

I'll ask Reggie to share about what the city of Cincinnati taught him about principles

and character, his vision for authenticity as an executive while at Disney, the role his mother

played in instilling in him a love for reading, and lots more. Reggie's had the type of life

that most people just dream up, yet he's also faced a number of hurdles, not the least of which

is nearly losing his leg to amputation as the result of repeated knee injuries while playing

football.

We'll learn how he managed to fight against the odds to make it into the NFL and eventually

take on that special role at Disney.

Hey, I want to ask real quick, if the Read to Lead podcast has been helpful to you in some way,

would you consider pre-ordering my book coming out in August of this year?
