    In this episode, Drew dives into his recent travel adventures — or misadventures — featuring a few choice words for Frontier Airlines. Beyond the delays and baggage drama, he zooms out to reflect on the bigger message: investing in yourself is never wasted money. Whether it’s your growth, your peace, or your goals, you have to pay for the results you truly want.

    Drew kicks off Fast Friday with his trademark energy — reminding listeners to start the weekend with purpose, gratitude, and a mindset of quality over quantity.

    Highlights:

    • The good, bad, and ugly of budget airline travel ✈️
    • Why “pouring into yourself” pays dividends
    • Fast Friday motivation: control what you can, invest where it counts

  • Proof: Multi-Sport Athletes Win! EP 77

    Ask a question for the show

    Built Different: Why Multi-Sport Athletes Win

    In this episode, Drew breaks down why playing multiple sports is one of the greatest advantages young athletes can have — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

    We cover the three key questions every parent and athlete should ask:

    • Age: When to explore and when to specialize
    • End Goal: College dreams? Pro aspirations? Just love the game?
    • Health: Avoiding overuse injuries & burnout

    Drew shares his own path as a multi-sport athlete — football, baseball, basketball — and how waiting to specialize led to becoming a 4-star recruit with 26 scholarship offers coming out of Denver, Colorado.

    Versatility builds better athletes. Specialization can wait.

    Perfect for parents, coaches, and athletes navigating the modern youth sports culture.

  • Viva Los Doyers!!!! EP 76

    Ask a question for the show

    In this episode, Drew celebrates a few special October birthdays — friends and former teammates who left a real mark on his journey.

    He also shares a special story about Atlanta Falcons Ring of Honor wide receiver Roddy White — a moment that captures Roddy’s competitive fire, heart, and the standard he set for everyone around him.

    Then we head to the diamond.

    One of the most thrilling World Series in recent history just wrapped: Dodgers vs. Blue Jays, seven games of pure electricity. Big-time players. Big-time moments. Momentum swings and history made in real time — the type of October baseball fans will talk about for decades.

    Drew breaks down:

    • The power of celebrating people while they're here
    • A behind-the-scenes Roddy White moment
    • Why this World Series felt legendary
    • How these games join the greatest chapters in Dodger lore

    Gratitude. Brotherhood. Big-moment energy. Tap in.

  • Trick or Treat?! EP 75

    Ask a question for the show

    A nostalgic look at Halloween from childhood to adulthood — the movies that shaped us, the costumes, the candy, and how the holiday hits differently now. We also tap into ghosts, demons, and that mysterious space between the seen and unseen. Fun, a little spooky, and full of real-life reflection.

  • The Bag Don’t Lie: College Head Coach Buyouts in 2025 EP 73

    Ask a question for the show

    In this episode, we break down the latest bombshell in college football — LSU parting ways with Brian Kelly and owing him roughly $54 million to walk away. Yep, you read that right: fifty-four million reasons to say “cash me out.”

    We talk about how the college football landscape is shifting fast — where boosters have more power than ever, athletic departments are operating like Fortune 500s, and the phrase “no matter the cost” has become the new playbook. From NIL to buyouts, this is the business of college football in 2025 — where loyalty is optional, but the check always clears.

    💬 Listen in for:

    • The ripple effect of Brian Kelly’s buyout
    • Why boosters are shaping the game behind the scenes
    • How the “cash me out” mindset defines the modern era of college sports

  • Not Ready for Life: The Declaration Too Many Athletes Make! EP 72

    Ask a question for the show

    In this episode, I talk about a truth many athletes face — realizing too late that they weren’t prepared for life after the game.

    I share how an unexpected injury at the University of Oregon shifted my mindset from just being an athlete to developing as a young man — lessons that carried into my time in the NFL.

    This message is for student and professional athletes: don’t wait until it’s over to say, “I wasn’t ready.”

    Start exploring your passions, building skills, and speaking up about what you want — now.


    Takeaways:
    • Why athletic programs alone can’t prepare you for life.
    • How adversity can spark growth and purpose.
    • The power of curiosity, communication, and self-development beyond the game.

    🎧 A short, honest reminder that your career ends — but your life doesn’t. Prepare now.

  • God’s Wink & the Greatness of Samuel L. Jackson EP 70

    Ask a question for the show

    Ever had a moment that felt too perfectly timed to be coincidence? That’s what I call a “God’s Wink.” In this Monday episode, I break down what those divine nudges mean — how they show up, how to recognize them, and how they can redirect you toward your purpose when you’re paying attention.

    Then, we take a deep dive into the wisdom of one of the greatest to ever do it — Samuel L. Jackson. From his relentless work ethic to his “never stop auditioning” mindset, this episode explores what true professionalism, consistency, and passion look like at the highest level.
