“I'm sure we're going to have more challenges in life. That's just life. That's how you build your muscle. That's how you graduate and matriculate through this thing called life. Because life is one big lesson until we leave this place, and I will forever be a learner of life. And it's never too late to transform your life.” - Tommi Vincent

 

Welcome to Stay a While with Tommi Vincent! Today I speak with some who will forever have a seat at my table, my husband, Troy Vincent. If life is a test, then the year 2020 is the pop quiz we didn't study for. Through the trials and the wins, one thing that remains steady is our faith. The question is, can you “walk it like you talk it”? When you're being tested, faith plus action are necessary to achieve results. Sometimes you need to hear from someone who has been through the fire and has the medals to prove it.

 

Troy Vincent is the Executive Vice President of Football Operations at the National Football League, beginning his football career as the 7th overall pick in the first round for the Miami Dolphins in the 1992 NFL Draft. After 15 seasons of playing in the league, Troy continues to be nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and has been inducted into the Hall of Fame for the Philadelphia Eagles, the State of Pennsylvania, the University of Wisconsin, and Pennsbury High School.
