What's up everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in for another BGN radio special. I am your host Rachel prevent in this episode is brought to you by espionation in the bleeding room if you can.

It is super bowl week and I'll post you guys that the lineup was going to be stacked. It's loaded. And as you can see, I am joined by a very, very special guest.

Eagles led in two time pro bowler and Hall of Fame running back for the fill it off you Eagles Brian Westbrook. What's up Brian. Happy both happy super whole week. How are you feeling?

I'm super excited to be here ratio, but I'm also super excited of course about the big game this Sunday. It's like you know it's it's hard for me to to hold my excitement from the industry championship game to this point, but I've been holding on to it and trying not to shake my children.

All day all day long and taking advantage there. So I'm super excited about it. I was about to say like it's so early in the week and I'm anxious. I'm excited like can it just come already, but you have like a campaign going on right now with but it's called to bring home the Bud light. And so can you just tell me a little bit more about that partnership.

Yeah, I'm excited to join Bud light and really bring Bud lights of Philadelphia. I mean really it's all about us winning the game, but also that parade. I don't know if you were around back in 2018 when we had the parade. It was absolutely awesome.

And Bud light wants to help Philadelphia make this victory a lot easier to enjoy by drinking Bud lighting. So you know they allowed me to pack the trucks. They allowed me to drive the fork left. They a Bud light allowed me just to be a part of the entire moment.

And so now all we have to do is go out there and win the football game. Then I'll be able to some bring some Bud lights to the Philadelphia to the Philadelphia area and enjoy the parade.

I was not at the parade the first time, but when the Eagles win this year, oh, best believe I'm driving up.

There you go. There you go.

But for all of the gentle listeners out there between and now in the Super Bowl, you have you were able to tweet easy to enjoy or hashtag sweepstakes for a chance to win some Bud light for their party. This is a course for listeners who were 21 years in order.

Yes, but my very first question I got to jump into it. I'm born and raised in anapolis Maryland. I know that you're from Maryland wanted to map.

And so I saw the fun fact that you actually have a horse farm in Maryland, which to me is just crazy. So can you just talk to me about this business venture and how did you even come about, you know, deciding to do this.

Yes, so I bought my horse farm. It's actually an upper marble Maryland. I bought it back in 2005. And for the first 12 years, we've ran it as a boarding facility.

I knew nothing about horses. I mean, and I mean absolutely nothing. I didn't know about the care. I didn't know how to ride. I knew nothing about fixing fences, cutting grass.

And so really the first six months or so after I purchased it, I spent day and night, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Just being at the farm, being around the gentleman that I purchased it from teaching me what the heck you do.

Teaching me about horses, teaching about tractors, teaching me about lawn boards, teaching me about fixing fences, cleaning stalls, all the different things that go into owning a horse farm.

And so we enjoyed it for 12 years as a boarding facility. And then right around 2017, my wife and I, we just started thinking like, hey, we have a bigger calling on our life. We have a bigger way to impact our young people.

And so we, we, we closed the boarding side and kicked all the horses out. And we began running the Brian Westford Foundation out of the farm. And really the Brian Westford Foundation, so purpose admission is to educate and power and show our young people access points to the pathway to success.

How do we get our young people to understand these are options for you to be successful and you can take it in all these different ways. It's really our belief that our kids are walking around with blinders on. They only can see what's right in front of them.

And it's our goal to teach them a variety of different things that were slowly taking these blinders off and helping to educate them so that they're empowered to be successful in whatever they want to do in life.

And so we're giving them financial literacy. We're giving them the understanding of data analytics, sports analytics, we're giving them the understanding that even if you don't go to college, there's plenty of jobs and vocational skills that you can learn to be successful in life. And so there's a lot of understanding and learning that we're doing with our foundation, something that we're super proud of and happy about.
