What happens when an NFL Pro Bowler and a passionate educator team up to transform young lives?
In this episode of the 1% Better Podcast, host Craig Thielen sits down with Chad Greenway, former Minnesota Viking and founder of the Lead the Way Foundation... and Chad Harlander, founder of the REACH Program. The two first connected at a football camp in South Dakota, and their partnership quickly grew. Together, they blend Harlander’s hands-on work with at-risk youth and Greenway’s platform and resources - helping kids overcome adversity, build confidence, and make a lasting impact beyond the classroom and the football field.
You’ll hear:
- How the REACH Program grew from 1 school to 46 across the U.S.
- How the Lead the Way Foundation is changing hospital stays and life paths
- Why integrity, consistency, and showing up still matter most
- The power of 8-for-the-Day and teaching kids to be part of the 8% who don’t give up
- What it really means to lead with purpose—and win with heart
