Marcellus Wiley | Life is a competition between you and yourself

My guest this week is Marcellus Wiley. Marcellus and I were teammates back when we played for the San Deigo Chargers (2001-2003). Have a listen as we discuss topics that range from entitlement, social media traps, parenting, and how people change in an instant once they have an elevated platform.

Marcellus’ unique experience of having survived the hardships of growing up in one of America’s toughest cities to becoming an Ivy League football star, NFL All-Pro Athlete, and a staple in the sports entertainment industry, gives him a unique outlook on life. He is both relatable and adept at delving into topics ranging from sports to social issues with a breadth and depth of understanding. His charismatic personality appeals to a broad fan base making him one of the most well-respected sports analysts in the industry.


What you will learn:

  • How your environment can shape how you see yourself
  • How to prioritize yourself as student-athlete
  • How showing gratitude is a gift
  • Competing against yourself instead of others
  • The dangers of entitlement (positive and negative)
  • Human capital and how to grow it
