Hey, everyone. Welcome to From the Kitchen Table.

I'm your host, Sean Duffy, along with my co-host for the podcast, but also my partner in life, Rachel Campbell-Stuffy.

Hello, everyone.

Thanks, Sean. And we're back with more conversations from our kitchen table. And today we have a very special guest. He's a good friend of ours. Can I just tell you, Sean, I was looking at our next guest bio. And I'm just going to, before I say who he has, I'm just going to listen this. Not only was a professional football player, who's a UN ambassador for peace and sports investment

banker, a professor, a philanthropist, and an ordained minister. Everyone welcome, Jack Brewer,

to the program. Jack, welcome. Great to be with you all. How's it going? Good. Did I miss something?

Because I think that is the most diverse bio I think we've ever read on this podcast.

Yeah, I don't know. I just, I go where God leads me. I don't know. I've been blessed to do some

pretty cool stuff. And, you know, I'm humble by it.

And, you know, especially growing up from where I came from, it's, in my eyes,

and my family's eyes is pretty special.

And so we just thank God for the opportunities.

Well, it is, it is pretty special.

But, you know, you brought up where you came from.

Why don't we just start from there? Tell us a little bit about where you came from. And then we're

going to get to the main topic of this podcast, which is your work with fatherhood issues in

America, which you have properly identified as the most important issue facing America, the root of most

of the problems, the social problems that we're facing in this country. But let's start with where

did you come from? Tell us a little bit. Born and raised in Gravon, Texas, and, you know,

humble beginnings. My father and my mother both went to segregated schools.

And our family was the first black family in our town.

My great-grandfather moved there in 1896 as a sharecropper.
