Episode Synopsis

In today’s episode, I sit down with former NFL star Shawne Merriman to talk about the lessons that shaped his life on and off the field. From growing up homeless in Maryland to becoming one of the most feared linebackers in the league, Shawne explains how hardship built his character and fueled his drive. We discuss his “Lights Out” persona, the transition from football to entrepreneurship, and how he turned his passion for MMA and media into a thriving business. Shawne also shares how his perspective on money shifted over time, viewing it less as a prize and more as a tool for impact.
