Welcome to How I Did It — the podcast where I share the real, raw, and sometimes hilarious journey of chasing big goals, balancing life, and building something meaningful.
I’m a semi-pro football player, newly engaged, and on a mission to grow — not just on the field, but in life. Whether it’s tackling procrastination, staying disciplined, navigating relationships, or just figuring out how to keep going when things get tough, I’m here to talk about it.
Sometimes it'll be just me. Other times, my fiancée will jump in, along with friends, family, and teammates — because no one does it alone. We're getting honest about the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between.
If you’re trying to level up your mindset, your hustle, or your relationships — this is the spot. Let’s talk about how I did it... and how you can too.
