Clint Gresham had the opportunity to compete in back to back Super Bowls -- winning one and losing the other. He waited months for the victory to truly sink in only to realize that actually, he was hoping for a sense of fulfillment and happiness that never came. The void that he felt despite such a monumental win prompting his search for meaning and purpose outside of the NFL.

Clint shares that his coaches impressed upon him the mantra “focus on what you can control” and he learned to not tether himself to an outcome.  This mindset was critical after a devastating Super Bowl defeat the following year, an injury that would end his career, and a tumor in his head discovered just months before his daughter was to be born.

Today, Clint is focused on sharing what he has learned about chasing meaning, relinquishing control, and recognizing worth in his book Becoming and on this week’s episode.
