>> So I started my career in Jacksonville.
I played for the Jaguars for a little bit over a year and then I had an opportunity to play
with the New England Patriots, Tom Brady and the group.
I played with the New England Patriots and then after that I went
on to play with the Carolina Panthers.
And in 2011 I experienced a neck injury that ended up putting me on injured reserve.
Injured reserve is code for your season is up.
And so I went on injured reserve that year in 2011.
2012 I tried to come back and play, but I wasn't able to play because the injury hadn't healed.
So, I remember leaving the football facility that day in 2012 for the last time.
And then the question comes about.
What do you do next?
Where do you go from here?
I remember riding for 5 hours on an airplane and I took a piece of paper and a pen.
And I just started to write things about what I enjoyed about my life.
And I went back to the peak experience, which I had in 2008, which was being drafted.
And I said, wow I have kind of the secret.
I mean this is something that I think everybody would like to do.
They'd probably like to experience their dream in their reality.
So I said I want everybody to be blessed enough to experience their dream.
What is your dream?
And so I became a motivational speaker that day.
It wasn't until about 2 months later that I had my first engagement.
Fort Sill, Oklahoma, which is the military base there invited me out and flew me out
and wanted me to speak to the military soldiers, some active duty,
some the Wounded Warriors unit about how to live your dream.
And that you already have everything that you need to get everything you want.
