Ryan, along with Taj Dashaun, founder of Thrive After Sports Life, peel back the layers of the athletic mindset, sharing their own pivots from competitive play to carving out new professional identities. Their dialogue illuminates the critical steps in crafting a 'second act' that's as fulfilling as the first. Whether you're a former athlete or someone seeking to channel your drive and passion into a new vocation, this conversation promises to shed light on the beauty of reinvention. With a football journey that drove him to drugs, depression, and a blurred vision of life beyond College football, Taj now turns out to be the solace and guidance he lacked at his corner during his second wind. Therein he founded Thrive After Sports, a holistic one-on-one program for retired athletes that is driven by the simple but transformative mission of equipping athletes with the tools to thrive in life after sports. He goes beyond helping players find jobs and start businesses to help them find fulfillment in every area of their lives. Tune in to learn more about: - The motivation behind launching Thrive after sports - Challenges faced during his college football career and their impact on his resilience and coping strategies - Roles undertaken during the emotional aftermath of college graduation - Strategies for discovering one's off-court path, thriving within it, and finding fulfillment - Transitioning from discussing second winds to actively assisting athletes through those phases - The significance of viewing the end of a sports career as the start of a lifelong journey - Toughest aspects of supporting athletes during their transition - The importance of athletes recognizing and being open to trustworthy individuals who have their best interests at heart … and so much more!

Marina's story is about learning how to find connection with herself, in the face of darkness. As a College Freshman on the Top 20-ranked Georgetown University's Women's Division 1 Soccer Team, Marina almost lost her scholarship and went to rehab for depression and eating disorders. She then became the team's first-ever 3-time Team Captain. Taking the principles from her book, Marina set out to create SPRHRA, an athletic brand for female athletes. Marina is on a mission to eliminate the restriction placed on female athletes, by creating a community, brand, and apparel that gives female athletes the Freedom to Perform. Throughout her playing career and thereafter, Marina realized a gap in sports apparel for female athletes. There was no sports apparel brand built for how female athletes play, move, and live. Marina wanted to curate female athlete apparel towards an unprecedented quartet: high-performance, precision, swagger, and freedom for female athletes' bodies. SPRHRA is sustainably made in Los Angeles, CA and is built by female athletes who play each respective sport — i.e., soccer players inform soccer apparel. (Pronounced Super-hera).

Thomas works with athletes, students, and professionals challenging them to push beyond a mundane lifestyle and enter into a life of GREATNESS. In 2008, after playing for USC, Thomas entered the NFL when he was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars. As he played for the Jaguars, New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers, Thomas mastered four principles that influenced his careers on and off the field: goal setting, leadership, accountability, and fostering winning team cultures. These principles are at the very core of his programs. Only 1% of college athletes will go pro, but 100% of ALL athletes will retire. Thomas' passion for helping college student athletes to see beyond the scoreboard comes from his personal journey as he transitioned from a successful football career to fulfilling his life's purpose, motivating and encouraging others in transition. He wants to instill in every student the understanding that greatness does not exist in the jersey, greatness exists in the athlete.
