    T'was the Night Before Christmas: Grateful Enough to Show Up? EP 89

    Ask a question for the show In this Christmas Eve reflection, I talk about gratitude during the holiday season—slowing down, taking stock, and appreciating the people and moments that carried us through the year. From gratitude, the conversation turns into a call to action for men: Befriend a young man in the next monthCommit to mentoring at least two young men in 2026Find a way to give back and make a real impact Mentorship doesn’t require perfection—just presence and consistency. Too many young men are navigating life without guidance, and this season is a reminder that showing up matters. Gratitude is powerful, but it means more when it leads to action.

    The State of College Football: Chaos, Coaches, and the "Kiffin Carousel" EP 86

    Ask a question for the show In this episode, Drew dives into the current state of college football — a landscape that feels more chaotic than ever for both players and coaches. With NIL, the transfer portal, unrealistic expectations, and constant job turnover, the sport is begging for structure, leadership, and accountability. Drew breaks down why the game needs order, what’s being lost in the madness, and where things are headed if nothing changes. Then, he unpacks one of the biggest current storylines: Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss — what it means, why the move happened, and whether he can actually succeed at a program that seems addicted to expectations that don’t match reality.

    Friends, Food & Showing Up: A Thanksgiving Check-In EP 85

    Ask a question for the show In this Thanksgiving episode, Drew pulls back the curtain on where he’s been all week and what this season is really bringing up for him. He shares what—and who—he’s grateful for, especially the blessing of having friends he can call at a moment’s notice. One of those friends? Johnny, who recently came back into Drew’s life in a powerful, unexpected way. This episode is all about not counting the time, but making the time count—especially around the holidays. Drew dives into being present with family, reconnecting with old friends, and slowing down enough to actually enjoy the moment you’re in. Of course… it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without food. Drew also reveals his go-to Thanksgiving dishes—the same ones that guarantee he’ll be running extra miles the following week. Wishing everyone a warm, safe, and meaningful Thanksgiving. Travel safe, love on your people, and make the moments count.

    Fast Friday: ATL Heaux!! EP 84

    Ask a question for the show In this Fast Friday drop, Drew reflects on the deep gratitude he feels doing the work he loves — helping teens, young adults, and parents grow together. The greatest compliment he can receive? When families notice the real, tangible changes in their young men and inside their home. This week brought one of those moments — a small breakthrough in a session that reminded Drew how the “little things” we often overlook can be life-changing for someone else. Coaching is a group effort, and these wins belong to everyone involved. Drew also shares what’s ahead: by the time you hear this, he’s in Atlanta for the NCSL National Conference on Student Life, delivering his workshop on leadership to young emerging change makers. Not nervous — prepared. Not worried — aligned. This marks the beginning of Drew stepping fully into the speaker, motivator, and leader he’s been becoming behind the scenes. A quick hit of gratitude, purpose, and momentum to send you into the weekend.
