Summary
I think most of us would agree that society is increasingly moving toward towards the "entitled mentality." Everywhere we turn people gripe about what they want, why they're entitled to it, and why, "life isn't fair."
My guest today takes exception with that mentality and, has proven throughout his life that, despite his challenges, is willing to purse and earn what he desires. His name is Darren Woodson. He's a former NFL football player, ESPN Analyst, and successful real estate investor.
