The Cabin

Ty and Tiffany are good friends of mine who are two incredible individuals and a beautiful power-couple driven by their amazing faith. Their inspiring journey together as a married couple and a family through humble beginnings in Canadian and arena football, a six year NFL career, and the process of transitioning out of the league and into the next season of life offers incredible wisdom for a successful, loving, and faithful marriage. They're an amazing example of what it means to love your spouse through the journey of life, why its important, and how to cultivate a beautiful marriage.

Josh is a great friend and a colleague of mine. He's a former professional basketball player, author, impact developer and business owner. He went to Drake University, and there, he went to the NCAA tournament, became the program's all-time leading scorer, and graduated with a bachelor's in business management and marketing. After being drafted into the NBA G-League by the Austin Spurs, he eventually found himself playing on the European circuit where he spent 12 seasons, competing in numerous countries across the European continent.  Recently, Josh founded his first business, Competition of One. Competition of One encourages individuals that their ability to compete is best maximized when its focused within. He is also a highly sought-after speaker and has spoken to numerous groups from schools to sports teams to businesses across the country and Europe.  

Marcus is a former teammate and great friend of mine who played quarterback at Oregon State, Fresno State, the Saints, the Raiders, and spent some time playing in Canada. His journey has taught him a ton of wisdom and faith when things don’t seem to go the way they should. He's learned the importance of the crew, and environments surrounding you, having the right perspective, and responding to events successfully. Young athletes listen up! 

Big Rob is one of my closest and most encouraging friends. A defensive stud that played at Abilene Christian, Oklahoma Baptist, and finished his career with a short stint in the NFL. The faithfulness, commitment, and trust that Robert has embodied throughout his life is extremely inspirational and infectious in an amazing way. He has a special way of articulating and explaining, through the Word, why life unfolds the way it does, and how we can find peace and comfort through it all… even when an NFL career doesn’t go the way you imagined it would.

Nate is a dear friend of mine whose wisdom and knowledge from his life adventure will inspire you to look at your circumstances and your life with a new mindset and perspective. Hess has encouraged and inspired me for many years through his work ethic, imagination, and innovation regarding making money and being successful in various aspects of his life. His incredible work towards cultivating a growth mindset gives you the tools to separate from the average.

Hayden is a great buddy of mine who played tight end with me at Oregon State. He grew up in a small town in Oregon, and first went to Montana to play ball before coming to OSU. His up and down story of finding home at OSU, retiring from playing because of concussions, and the journey through letting go and moving on, may offer you inspiration for your journey, and especially profound advice for young athletes.

Breiden is an amazing man of faith, love, and service. He's going into his fourth NFL season, now with the Steelers, after spending his first three years with the Chargers. From being a national champion with LSU, to being an undrafted free agent, working through the ranks of the NFL, his incredible journey is full of what it means to stay steady and faithful through the tough times of the grind, and focusing on building your threshold to handle life's storms.

Meena is an extremely special and close friend and business partner. Our friendship originally began with her being my sports psychologist and energy healer when I started with the Cowboys. That relationship grew into a friendship, and then into a partnership, when her and I created Athlete ER. Meena is a worldwide sports therapist and energy healer who is passionate about helping people find their true potential and full optimization in athletics and in life.

This is a special one that was recorded last year. Jake is my best friend. We met when we were eight years old, and since, we've experienced an incredible amount of life together. From countless weeks at The Cabin, to heli-skiing in the Whistler backcountry, to riding waves in Maui, Jake and I have been blessed to experience profound moments together, which has sparked beautiful realizations, questions, connection, and discussions. The way he sees the world offers so much encouragement and inspiration for your journey. His story is very relatable, and his wisdom provides help and insight to every single one of us. WARNING: Jake cusses in here. We still love him. 

Joe is an incredible dude with a beautiful soul. He's a dear friend of mine, and a mentor. He had an eight-year NFL career as an offensive lineman, playing for Atlanta and Tampa Bay. He decided to walk away from the game, and a contract worth millions, to seek what his soul was searching for. He gave all of his possessions away to charity, bought a van, adopted a dog named Freedom, and hit the road for two years. His journey, and all he's learned through the healing, is profound and offers so much wisdom. From transitioning out of the league, he created The Härt Collective, which is now a community, membership, and container of heart-centered leaders who are learning to passionately pursue ways to integrate the new paradigm into business, culture, and relationships. https://www.thehartcollective.com @joe.hawley @the.hart.collective
