Voted NFL All-Pro in 1972 and ’73, Mike decided he would rather play music than football for a living, so in 1980, he moved to Nashville to pursue songwriting. He shares about getting his start in football, the importance of becoming “competent” at something, and the story behind a song that you're probably familiar with. It’s one of my favorites and there are some details I hadn’t heard before. Enjoy! And be sure to catch part 1 with Mike if you missed it!
