Episode 3: Edgar Jones: Redefining Manhood, Mentorship & Mindset

In this episode of 2 Knights & a Mic, Edgar Jones, a former NFL linebacker turned speaker and entrepreneur, joins Todd Simmons and Kaleth Wright for a real conversation about leadership, identity, and transformation.

The conversation dives into:

  • New definitions of manhood – Edgar shares how he's unlearning outdated narratives and building a new, emotionally aware model for his kids and community.

  • Kryptonite in the locker room – He reflects on toxic behaviors in high-performance spaces, and how silence can be more damaging than the mistakes themselves.

  • The power of good questions – Edgar and the hosts explore how the right questions (and listening deeply) can unlock better parenting, leadership, and growth.

  • Lessons from farming – Drawing on his time post-NFL, Edgar reveals how working with the land taught him patience, humility, and purpose.

    This episode is more than a story about football—it's about finding peace after the grind, staying grounded in your values, and defining success on your own terms.
