We all have the option to overcome. It's not about being perfect; it's about being persistent.
Imagine climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, not just for the thrill but to make a difference. In this episode of 'Overcome', Justin Wren sits down with former NFL player Chris Long to recount their adventure scaling Africa's tallest peak. But it's more than just a mountain-climbing story. Chris, son of NFL legend Howie Long, opens up about carving his own path in football and beyond.
He shares candid insights into the pressures of living up to a famous name and how he found his own identity through community service and philanthropy. Chris and Justin discuss the importance of self-control, resilience, and authenticity. They touch on the powerful lessons learned halfway through a game when you're down and how those lessons apply to life off the field. Chris's journey isn't just about overcoming obstacles; it's about finding purpose in giving back.
His climb up Kilimanjaro, alongside NFL players and military veterans, was a testament to his commitment to providing clean water wells for those in need. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to overcome their own challenges and find deeper meaning in their struggles. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that reminds us all that persistence, not perfection, is the key to overcoming adversity.
