Nearly 20 Years strapping on an NFL helmet. Several NFL records. A right foot that accounted for over 2000 points in his career!
But today’s guest on my #MakeYourMark podcast, Matt Stover, is just getting started. He’s taken his deep interest in philanthropy and is channeling it into his company, helping charities raise money for great causes with fewer challenges. And he was ready for all of this even during his rookie year!
Matt was never sure which season, much less game, would be his last, and he felt a strong sense of responsibility in being fully prepared for his next career.
Winning a Super Bowl at the age of 42 was the perfect send off, and he did it on his own terms, which in football, happens all too rarely.
You’ll hear about Matt’s transition, his company, outworking and outsmarting, and so much more!
Score some points and give this a listen!
