Summary

Donovan McNabb played 13 years in the NFL and was the first NFL quarterback ever to throw for more than 30 touchdowns and fewer than 10 interceptions in a season. He's best known for his time with the Philadelphia Eagles where he was a 6-time Pro Bowler, but he also played for the Washington Redskins and the Minnesota Vikings. We talk about how he started to make the transition to life after football after just a few seasons in the league. He's 43 years old now and we talk about the other quarterbacks in their 40s who are still playing; Tom Brady and Drew Brees. He also gets into the life lessons that football taught him that we can all apply to our lives, whether you're an athlete or not. I'm sure you will enjoy this insightful conversation as much as I did!
