Summary

"We spend so much time ignoring our calling, searching for our calling not realizing it's already calling us." #1 New York Times bestselling author, Fox Sports analyst, and former NFL player Emmanuel Acho returns to talk with Zibby about his new book, Illogical. Emmanuel shares how being illogical simply means going against conventional wisdom to find the passions that speak to you the most in your personal and professional lives, just as he has done since releasing his first book, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. The two discuss the advice Emmanuel strives to live by, how he wants to inspire others to create the best lives for themselves, and the moments that inspired him to find his calling.
