Guest: Bryant McKinnie, Former NFL player

Team Affiliations: Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins

Hosts: Matilda Sung, Sam Li

Always knowing that he was more than just a professional athlete, Bryant McKinnie has proven himself above and beyond when it comes to his career in and out of sports. McKinnie had a long and successful career at the NFL and today defines himself across multiple different personas - athlete, mentor, startup founder, performer, producer to name just a few. This episode offers listeners a view into how someone with multiple dreams and aspirations can actually manifest each of them. Bryant shares with us the importance of being a "connector" and how that single handedly has afforded him the success he has had today. We also talk about the rising awareness around mental health and the importance of bringing up topics amongst those who don't normally "talk about these things."

Part storytelling, part discussion...this episode is chock full of invaluable life lessons that anyone with a goal can benefit from.
