After retirement, the plan was clear—pursue college coaching.

But there was a limit. A deadline set to determine when it was time to move on. If nothing came through by then, the next step was already in place: a career in defense contracting.

Then, just one week later, the call came—an assistant coaching opportunity at the University of the District of Columbia.

Episode 007 revisits the moment where timing raised a question that doesn’t always have an answer:

did you move on… or did you stop too soon?
