What can an NFL star teach us about chasing dreams, overcoming challenges, and creating a life you love?

Chris Johnson, also known as CJ2K, is a former NFL running back who made history as a first-round draft pick and one of only eight players to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season. This achievement earned him the NFL rushing title and Offensive Player of the Year award in 2009. After a remarkable 10-season football career, Chris transitioned into hospitality and real estate, creating vacation properties that offer unforgettable experiences for travelers.

In this episode, Chris Johnson reflects on his NFL career, the life lessons he's carried into his post-football ventures, and how simplifying his priorities helped him transition into hospitality and real estate.

Chris shares an honest look at his life on and off the field. He talks about the sacrifices and joys of being a professional athlete, the mental strategies that kept him motivated through tough times, and the challenges of pivoting to a completely different industry after retirement. You'll hear about his travels, why he chose real estate as his next chapter, and how he applies lessons from football to life and business.

How do you stay motivated to pursue your dreams, even after setbacks? I'd love to hear about your experience, and I hope you'll share it by sending me an audio message.
