    Episode 67 - From NFL Trenches to Faith and Business — Identity Beyond the Platform with Sterling Harris

    In Episode 67 of Men Pursuing More, Roger Maupin welcomes former SMU offensive tackle and former Cleveland Browns player Sterling Harris for an honest and powerful conversation about identity, faith, leadership, and life after football. Sterling reflects on the athletes who inspired him growing up, the defining moments from his four years at SMU, and what it meant to reach the NFL as a right tackle battling daily mental and physical challenges. But when a foot injury ended his professional career early, he faced the deeper battle many men encounter — losing the identity they built around performance. Sterling opens up about being counted out early in life, starting a business in high school, navigating difficult real estate partnerships that cost him deeply, and wrestling with a calling to ministry before ultimately choosing to serve as “salt and light” in the marketplace. Through his relationship with Jesus, Sterling found the strength to rebuild, reinvent, and lead through Sterling Harris Ministries, spiritual mentorship, and his logistics tracking business. This episode speaks directly to men pursuing purpose, rebuilding after setbacks, and navigating major transitions — reminding them that who they are is bigger than what they do, and that sometimes the greatest growth comes after the game is over.  Who am I when the game is gone?   Follow Sterling online at: https://sterlingharris.org/ ______________________________ Follow Roger Maupin online: Website - https://maupincoaching.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/rogercmaupin/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/roger.c.maupin Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rogermaupin   Podcast Produced by: KB PODCASTS Podcast Music: SOUNDSTRIPE
