“What story are you living and what story are you leaving.” DeLand McCullough
In this powerful Father’s Day special of The Pivot Podcast, Ryan, Fred, and Channing sit down with Super Bowl-winning coach DeLand McCullough for one of the most incredible and inspiring conversations about family and faith.
Known for his work on the field, DeLand opens up about the deeply personal journey off the field that reshaped his life — discovering his biological father as an adult and learning how that revelation changed his understanding of identity, fatherhood, and destiny. It’s the kind of story you’d think was scripted in Hollywood — a man at birth grows up never knowing his biological family, becomes a star athlete and championship coach, and then, in a twist no screenwriter could invent, discovers that the mentor who helped shape his football journey is actually his biological father. It’s a full-circle moment filled with fate, family, and rejuvenation — a real-life ‘long-lost father’ story that doesn’t just tug at your heartstrings, it rewrites them.
Through candid reflection and heartfelt honesty, he talks about what it means to be a father — to his own sons, including those following in his football footsteps — and how the lessons he's learned have molded the man he is today. This isn’t just a conversation about football — it’s about the bonds that define us, the stories we carry, and the choices we make that can break generational cycles and that faith is real if you allow it to lead you. We get into all the hows, the whys and whats but for more detailed perspective, check out DeLand's book- Runs In The Family, for a written adaptation of his story, one that seems fiction but as real as it comes.
Tune in and Pivot with purpose on this day, as we celebrate Father’s Day with a story that will move you, inspire you, and remind you of the strength in every day.
