This week's podcast has received great feedback already!
I was fortunate enough to have Eric Wood, Former NFL player for the Buffalo Bills join me on the 'Win at Home First' podcast.
His story is one that I think so many of us can relate to. I know, I know, not the NFL player part, but the disappointment part.
45 minutes before his son was born, Eric got news his NFL career was over!
Similarly to many of us, from time to time, he would take his identity to what he did.
Who is he if he is no longer in the NFL?
What value will he bring to others when he loses the status?
I believe this episode can help all of us when it comes to tying our identity, to WHO we are, instead of WHAT we do. Plus he wins at home and in his faith - great conversation!
