Playing for Something Bigger

In today’s episode, I’m joined by James Maslow and NFL veteran T.Y. McGill Jr., a defensive tackle with a decade-long career and a foundation focused on empowering youth through education and exposure. We talk about the pivotal moment at age eight that shaped his values, his decision to give back through annual camps and charitable work, and how he’s preparing for life after football. T.Y. shares what it means to live with purpose, even in uncertain times, and why staying ready physically, mentally, and spiritually is key. This is about building something lasting, turning pain into direction, and leading with intention every step of the way.
