Robert Jackson, former defensive back for Central Michigan University and the Cincinnati Bengals, joins the podcast to share stories from his days playing football. His work ethic, high energy, and bulldog mentality on the gridiron earned him Hall-of-Fame recognition from CMU in the induction class of 1990. This strong mindset impressed the Cincinnati Bengals enough to draft him with their 11th round selection in the 1980 NFL Draft, giving Robert the opportunity to be on the Bengals roster for Super Bowl XVI. Now retired, Robert spends most of his time on the golf course and more importantly, pouring into the younger generation as a part of "fitONE!" - a training program at Personal Trainers World in Blue Ash, Ohio that aims to assist young men and women with developmental disabilities to overcome their mental and physical obstacles. Through his time on a football field and now in the gym, Robert has learned and continues to teach us the priceless value of giving others a chance, and a place, within their communities.
