What can I say? This episode comes as the result of my roots from Elkhart, Indiana. Shafer Suggs one of the very top and most decorated athletes to ever come out of my home town, Ball State University (my alma mater) and the state of Indiana. Growing up he and his era of athletes; these guys were my heroes.

I was inspired by them to then do my ultimate best in athletics which continues to fuel my career today. This is an in depth interview. What I've come to know is all that was going on along the way at the foundation of Shafer's life growing up. What you see on the outside? The glory, the admiration the validation the championships, the accolades, the amazing sports career all the way through to the big time?

Well, as we come to learn with Shafer today; it's not always what you think. Then; the lights don't just dim; They can turn out completely. Then what? These amazing professional athletes that we watch and admire all have lives and experience much of the same that we all do. I talk so much about body image self image and thus self esteem.

We take that snapshot everyday as you've heard me say so many times and it guides our ship and runs our show; our foundation perspective the eyes we see from. "Lead with your gifts" as you've heard me speak of so much. Shafer has done that overall. He shares all the success which he then eventually had to acknowledge the darkness underneath.

His work, his willingness to face the fear and darkness head on and his faith as an amazing father of two incredible children All pulled him through. Now inspired; he passes this on with all the work he continues to do today.

What my friend Shafer shares in this episode will no doubt move you and inspire you to overcome adversity in your life whatever it may be. I am honored that he shared this on The RR Live! Wellness Unfiltered Podcast.
