In this episode, I sit down with my client and friend Jamie Wood for a powerful conversation about life after football, identity, structure, and what it really means to live with intention as we get older.

Jamie and I go back to our days at Ohio State, and we talk through what it felt like to play in an environment built on pressure, high standards, and attention to detail and how those lessons have shaped the way we show up today in business, relationships, and life.

We get into Jamie’s unique transition into compliance and NIL, what he learned mentoring athletes behind the scenes, and how that experience led him to build his own business guiding young athletes through the opportunities and challenges NIL brings.

From there, we dive into how our training has evolved since football. We talk about longevity, sustainability, smart programming, and how having structure in your fitness spills into every other part of your life. Jamie shares how training at Everyday Athlete has given him back that feeling of being an athlete again: the camaraderie, the accountability, the community.

This conversation is all about growth, purpose, and evolution beyond the game. If you’re a former athlete or high performer trying to find your footing again, build structure back into your life, or reconnect with the athlete you used to be, then this episode is for you.
