    Raheem Mostert - His record-breaking year as running back for the Miami Dolphins, Surfing the “shark bite capital of the world,” Getting invited to the Surf Ranch by Kelly, His podcast Relentlessly Motivated, and His funniest Mike McDaniels story

    NFL star running back for the Miami Dolphins, Raheem Mostert, joins us on the pod. Raheem and Dave discuss life in the offseason, his plans to spend more time with his family, and relish the “true dad” moments with his kids. Raheem reflects on his journey as an undrafted rookie to a record-breaking seasoned pro in his tenth year in the league. He talks about growing up surfing in the shark-infested waters of New Smyrna Beach, being offered a contract by Billabong as a young grom, and deferring his career as a pro surfer to be the first in his family to graduate from college and pursue a career in the NFL. Raheem and Dave discuss the intersection of surfing and football, drawing parallels between the two pursuits that demand balance and commitment. Finally, Raheem answers Instagram questions, shares his funniest Mike McDaniels story, and reveals the toughest linebacker he’s faced before blitzing the Lightning Round.

    This week, we are re-airing our episode from 2023 with CT standout, Molly Picklum. The Championship Tour’s current World No. 1 surfer and Rip Curl athlete Molly Picklum joins the pod for a special Women’s History Month episode to talk about her breakout season. She describes her confident mindset entering each event, her first impressions of Portugal, and what it’s been like sitting atop the rankings and capturing the yellow leader jersey for the first time in her career. She discusses her road to the tour, her entry into surfing, the strong surfing town she grew up in, how working with coach Glenn Hall has changed her approach, her relationship with Rip Curl, and how making the Challenger Series coming out of Australia is so difficult. Molly also touches on her video part that blew up in Postcards from Morgs, overcoming the Mid-season Cut last year, learning to trust herself, the uber-talented young generation of women on tour, and the woman she chose to honor for International Women’s Day.
