In this first episode of a special PodCrash series, Crash Champions CEO Matt Ebert connects the dots between building a billion-dollar business and building an NFL career.

Chicago Bears defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. joins Matt for an honest conversation about leadership, accountability, and what it means to grow through change. Gervon explains how he adjusted to new leadership under Head Coach Ben Johnson and Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen, why his chemistry with teammates like Montez Sweat is key to the Bears’ future, and how the defense has found its rhythm through communication and trust.

He also opens up about fatherhood, staying grounded through tough stretches, and the mindset shift that helped him go from rookie to impact player.
