On this episode of the playbook, I have former NFL superstar Brandon Marshall host of IAM

athlete. He is the founder of House of Athlete and most importantly is an extraordinary advocate

for mental health. He and I are going to talk about how important having a plan is. Join me

for all this and more on the playbook. This is Entrepreneurs the Playbook. For each week,

I bring you some of the greatest athletes, celebrities and entrepreneurs to talk about their

personal and professional playbook to success and what made them champions on the field and in

the boardroom. I'm your host David Meltzer. I have one of the best wide receivers ever to play in

the NFL. He's now looking to help other athletes. That's why I have him on the playbook with his

new brand, the House of Athlete and even Tekkel. Some more important issues with his new podcast.

I am athlete. Welcome to the playbook, Brandon Marshall. Hey, I really appreciate you having me,

man. What a great welcome. I love it. You're amazing. I, you know, work so much in the realm of

happiness. I don't know if my mission in life is to empower over a billion people to be happy.

And one of the things that we find is the more successful we are, the more happiness

is kind of placed upon us and we kind of lose sight whether we're happy or not. I was hoping that

you could share with us your playbook to happiness and how you were lost when you were young,

even though you're one of the most successful people probably in the world, yet you were unhappy

and how long and how did you find out you weren't happy. Yeah, well, I think it's all a part of

processing as far as me not being happy. It's all a journey. And I just believe that you have to

have a championship routine in place to be able to unlock your full potential to, you know, really

get to peak performance no matter who you are, your professional athlete. You're at home dead,

at home mom, a nurse, a doctor. It doesn't matter. Like you have to lock in. There's five things

that I believe in and I call them are my pillars that we have to do no matter who you are.
