This is Entrepreneurs the Playbook, where each week I bring you some of the greatest athletes, celebrities, and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional playbook to success.

Welcome back to office hours,

and I may have now my favorite and special guest

it's a young man that I'm blessed to be around.

I'm a young man that I consider a friend and I'm blessed to mentor some in business but I really look up to him.

You know I've been able and blessed to work with Angelo Pizo and David Anspah and Rudy, which is to me one of the most inspirational

films and identified with Rudy because I was a below average Division 3 football player

and that was as close to my

potential as I could get just like Rudy's potential was to play one play on a

kickoff team for the Notre Dame team.

And Austin Echler, his story is unbelievable.

His heart, his mind, his body, his soul,

everything aligned because when you hear what he did compared to Rudy or David Melzer, it's not even in the same

league. It's more than Jeff Griffin League. Zero percent chance to walk. Zero percent chance to have kids.

Jeff Griffin is a gold medalist and has four kids and he's walking.

That's pretty incredible, but what Austin Echler is doing and will do, I think will parallel that type of achievement.

Austin Eckler, welcome to office hours.

Hey, I appreciate you having me on, Dave.

Always a pleasure, man pleasure man and likewise my friend

likewise I definitely am appreciative of all the opportunities that you are presented to me

and look forward to continue to grow and make an impact in this world and you certainly are and you make me so proud as does the people on this panel with me.

Yeah, what's going on boys?
