#42: Merril Hoge – From NFL to Inspirational Speaker

Our guest this week is Merril Hoge. Some may know him for his time in the NFL as a running back for both the Pittsburgh Stealers and the Chicago Bears. Or for his 20+ year career as an ESPN announcer, but we’ve come to know him as our daily inspiration. If you follow him on social media, you will understand.

He spent almost 8 years in the NFL before his career came to a screeching halt. Improper care of a head injury forced him into retirement. Although his love for the game continued as an on-air analyst for ESPN, his life was forever changed.

Now he uses his platform to inspire others through times of adversity including another difficult time in his life, kicking cancers ass.

We are sure this episode will inspire you to take advantage of the life you should be living.
