Customer Reviews
Eric is Great!
Great podcast. Eric does a great job interviewing fantastic guests!
Positive, Inspiring Discusion
Eric selects incredibly inspiring guests and artfully guides the conversation to extract useful takeaways to help the listener become a better version of themselves. Uses his experience as a top-level college/NFL athlete and his Christian values to to create a highly engaging 45-60 mins podcast. Love his conventions. Just bought his book. My time is limited so I’m very selective about how I spend it. This podcast is very worthy of my time. I’m thankful for his efforts. I highly recommend it if you’re interested in personal growth.
5⭐️
I’m an avid listener of Eric’s podcast and really enjoy listening. I highly respect his level of faith in God and the fact that he knows where true success comes from. His guests are all fairly like minded in their drive for life and finding success and happiness. I highly recommend this podcast to any driven person who is just starting their career or trying to figure out what the next chapter in life could look like.
