358: Resilient By Nature with former NFL Great Reggie Williams

by

It’s not often that you get to talk with a truly great player from your favorite sport. In fact, I can only think of one time I’ve had a conversation with a current or former NFL player

As of today, I’ve now increased my ratio by 100% as today’s episode features my conversation with former Cincinnati Bengal Reggie Williams.

Reggie published his first book back in September called Resilient By Nature: Reflections from a Life of Winning Both On and Off the Football Field. Both in the book and in our conversation, you’ll learn of the ups and downs of life in the NFL, the struggle to realize this dream, his eventual move to working for Disney, and much more.

I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Reggie and his work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.

In today’s episode, I ask Reggie about:

  • What the city of Cincinnati taught him about principals and character
  • His vision of authenticity while in his role at Disney

  • And plenty more!
