    Not Just Football’s Cam Heyward and Hayden Walsh on Grief, Friendship, and Drafting the Summer House Cast

    Cam Heyward is a seven-time Pro Bowler and captain of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but his friendship with Hayden Walsh goes way beyond football. The two childhood friends lost their fathers within a few years of each other, and that shared grief became part of what brought them together as co-hosts of their own podcast, Not Just Football. They sit down with Carl to talk about losing their dads, what it actually looks like for men to be vulnerable with each other, and how Cam's mother helped guide his path to the NFL after his father passed. Then, because Hayden is a genuine Summer House superfan, the three of them draft the entire cast into starting NFL positions. There are some very strong opinions. It's a funny, surprisingly emotional hang with two longtime friends who've been through a lot together.

    Chris Olsen on Turning Rock Bottom at 19 Into a Platform That Helps Millions Online

    Chris Olsen was 19 when his roommate woke him up and said, "your dad's here" — the start of a full-blown intervention, complete with impact letters and a one-way ticket to rehab that same day. The content creator, mental health advocate, and author of the new memoir "I Think My Therapist Hates Me,” sits down with Carl to talk about that intervention, the year he spent in an intense, shame-based rehab program, and the fear of going back that kept him sober for years afterward. They also get into what it's actually like navigating sobriety in the gay community, and how Chris turned his hardest years into a book he hopes will help other people feel less alone. It's a funny, honest, deeply moving conversation about shame, forgiveness, and growing up in public.Sponsors:ZipRecruiter: Try ZipRecruiter to post your job FOR FREE at http://ziprecruiter.com/RADKE4 out of 5 employers who post on ZipRecruiter get a quality candidate within the first day.

    Mrs. Dow Jones on Financial Literacy, Money Shame, and Building Real Wealth

    Carl gets honest with financial expert Mrs. Dow Jones about exactly how much money his drinking and using actually cost him — a number he'd never really sat with until now. Haley Sacks — New York Times bestselling author of ‘Future Rich Person’ and host of the Financial Tea podcast — sits down with Carl to get real about money, without the shame. They break down how to build an emergency fund, why prenups are more romantic than people think, and what money really looks like behind the scenes of reality TV. Haley also gets into why financial literacy matters especially for women, and how to stop feeling stupid about the things you were never taught. It's a funny, refreshingly simple conversation about money, self-worth, and figuring your finances out — no matter how far behind you feel.
