Jerrad talks with David Pollack, former NFL linebacker, ESPN analyst, and host of the Family Goals podcast. They discuss what it means to raise kids in a culture focused on performance. David shares how his career-ending injury shaped his faith, how he leads at home, and why his kids don’t have to earn his approval.

You’ll hear:
• What David learned about identity after football
• Why performance-based parenting wears kids down
• How to help your kids live their age and still build grit
• Why sports should never come before church
• What grace-based leadership looks like in the home

This conversation is practical and honest for dads who wants to raise strong kids without tying their worth to success.
