SHIFT CHANGE – Episode 1: Grinding, Growth & Old War Stories w/ Tarkan Weston

For the very first episode of the Shift Change Podcast, I sit down with longtime friend and teammate Tarkan Weston — someone I grew up with, went to high school with, and battled through college football with. This episode sets the tone for what Shift Change is all about: real conversations, real people, real stories.

We talk about:

• What life after football really feels like

• How mindset and discipline evolve into adulthood

• Old stories from the locker room and road trips

• Fatherhood, careers, and reinventing yourself

• What it means to “shift” into a new chapter of life

This is a laid-back, unfiltered, first-episode vibe — two guys catching up, laughing, and reflecting on how far we’ve come.

If you enjoy this one, make sure to follow the show so you don’t miss Episode 2 dropping Tuesday.
