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.
