What happens when the identity you’ve built your entire life is taken away overnight? In this episode, I sit down with former NFL player, broadcaster, and author Eric Wood to talk about resilience, reinvention, and how to build a meaningful next chapter when life forces you to pivot. Eric shares his journey from being a late-blooming athlete to a first-round NFL draft pick, and how a career-ending neck injury reshaped everything he thought success looked like.
