The Athlete's Approach

Social issues and the NFL. How do they co-exist? In a world drowning in political and social polarization what says the league and its players? My old Jaguar teammate and brother Uche Nwaneri joins me this week to discuss all current happenings in the world of football. We dive into the cultural and psychological backdrop present in locker rooms around the country. Recapping last week's action and give our two cents on the weekend of football ahead. Please enjoy!

I spent the day with master health practitioner Dr. Har Hari Khalsa at his state of the art healing center The Transformational Healing Universe. This experience was like a visit to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory for health and wellbeing. Not only did we explore mind-blowing technology like DMT light plasma therapy and the wildly accurate Cyber Scan but we went in deep on the power and importance of psychedelics. Dr. Har Hari was a pure joy to hang out with. This episode is loaded with invaluable knowledge and undeniably good times. Enjoy.

When it comes to mental well-being there is not a more important practice than meditation. In this discussion my brother and I share how we came to meditation and the profound impact it has had on our lives. Why we meditate, how to do it and what it does are only a few of the issues we highlight. We provide easy to use techniques and concepts for anyone looking to get started on a meditation practice. Enjoy!

NFL football is back! Texans v. Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. What will football be without fans in the seats? This season will be unlike anything we have ever seen or experienced. We discuss the record breaking contract of Pat Mahomes and the distribution of wealth in football (and society at large), A new era for the Patriots, and Tom Brady on the Buccaneers. All while trying to imagine what life will be like for today's players. Enjoy!

The sun was shining, the sky was blue, the air was crystal clear. We sat in a cozy room in the guest house of the Beach Boy's stellar estate. The energy was electric. Crisp. Finding our way back from lives spent in warriorhood. The violence and the glory. Shedding the skin. What does one do in life after football? What happens when the programming gets dismantled? Jared Odrick is one of my ex-NFL brethren who has masterfully re-imagined himself. This conversation was a treat. Enjoy.

Our third and final installment of this series takes us deep inside the maze of confusion. How social media has influenced our sense of reality. How we construct beliefs. Tribalism and myopic ideologies. It's an ugly jaunt through the political wasteland looking toward November's election. Trying to make sense of a system built to divide a population. It seems the only way out is a dissolution of the ego. Leading us into the Age of Love. What if we all had a little more compassion for each other? Things might look a whole lot different. Enjoy.
