What does it take to rise above adversity and achieve greatness in the face of life's toughest challenges? This week, we had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Jake Butt, former University of Michigan football player and current analyst for the Big 10 Network. Together, we explored his journey from Buckeye fan in Columbus, Ohio, to two-time All American, career record holder, and National Tight End of the Year at Michigan, as well as his time in the NFL.

In our candid conversation, Jake opens up about tearing his ACL twice during his college football career and how he found the courage and resolve to come back from these injuries. He shares the emotional toll of hearing his ACLs pop and the fear of losing out on millions of dollars as a result.
