I'm so excited to have my guest Jesus Rodriguez (a.k.a Ricardo Rodriquez) on the show today. I first met him as an independent wrestler named Chimaera and we had multiple high-impact matches together.

After putting in years of hard work, he got offer a dream job with the WWE as the sidekick to Alberto Del Rio. Together they made a great bad guy duo and a classic act in wrestling history.

But things got messy when the ride came to an end. Jesus turned to substance abuse as he tried to figure out what life looks like after the WWE.

Many professional athletes find themselves in this position. They tie their identify to what they do and not who they are. I'm excited for you to hear Jesus and how he walked the road to self-discovery. It wasn't easy but it was worth it.

Enjoy this great discussion between the two of us.
