Beyond the Field: Finding Purpose After the NFL
What happens when the dream you've been working for your entire life suddenly disappears? Former NFL player Sam Rogers faced that question head-on but took away so many life lessons along the way.
In this episode, Sam shares how taking ownership and embracing failure is so important. He talks about the mentors he had a long the way, his father, his coaches, his faith, and how they helped him redefine success and step into a new sense of purpose.
Sam unpacks the power of responsibility, resilience, and faith not only for ourselves but for the younger generation. "Failure is good - let them fail, let them fall and coach them through it." Teaching the next generation to accept challenges and encourage them through it.
Whether you're a leader, a parent, or someone navigating life’s unexpected turns, this episode will inspire you to trust the process and lead with purpose.

Lessons from his coach: leadership on and off the field
How failure isn't a bad thing - How to get back up when you're down
Why the next generation craves responsibility, not coddling
