LA Chargers Running Back and Captain, Austin Ekeler, talks about his journey from his humble beginnings being a major underdog coming from a D2 school to his rise to NFL stardom. We also dove deep into his entrepreneurial side with all his business endeavors and some strategic advice to apply to your business. Austin is a rare athlete to find where his heartset, mission, and desire to leave a legacy and impact are his driving forces in life.

Some questions I asked:
  • How do you program your mindset and build your confidence?
  • How do you stay focused on other things while still crushing it in football?
  • What is your visualization process? 
  • What does faith mean to you? 
In this episode, you will learn:
  • Austin’s humble beginnings
  • How to build your confidence by living on the edge of your boundaries.
  • How Austin went all-in on pursuing his NFL career and building his team.
  • The importance of seizing every opportunity that comes your way.
  • Why the journey is more important than the goal.
  • The Austin Ekeler Foundation
  • The power of saying no to instant gratification
  • Why there’s no such thing as doubting your past. 
  • The Worker’s Mindset
  • The Eksperience App
  • And so much more!
