Former LSU and NFL standout Russell Shepard (@russellshepard19) joins Joshua G. Hollins (@jghollins) on Thunder Thoughts, a Sons of Thunder production, to share how he turned his dream on the field into a legacy off it.
From growing up in Houston and making it to LSU to becoming a team captain in the NFL, Russell’s story is about access through example. He watched his grandfather and father drive trucks, and years later built Shep Boys Waste Management, a company now creating jobs and opportunity for other brothers.
This conversation dives into faith, family, leadership, business ownership, and legacy. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your platform into purpose, this is the one.
Topics:
• How early exposure creates access
• Transitioning from the NFL to entrepreneurship
• Employing and empowering other Black men
• The power of family and legacy
• Faith as a foundation for leadership
• Russell’s take on the current state of LSU football
Key Quote: “Access doesn’t end when the game does. It just shifts fields.”
