This week, we're joined by a truly inspirational guest, Andrew – a devoted fan of the podcast whose life story is nothing short of remarkable. Andrew's journey takes us from the challenging streets at a young age, through an impressive career in the NFL, to facing and overcoming life-altering injuries and brain trauma. His resilience and strength are awe-inspiring, as he rebuilt his life with the help of meditation and new business ventures.
