Find Your Purpose w/ Sam Acho

Ed Mylett | Cumulus Podcast Network
About this episode

From the moment you meet him, it is clear that this week’s guest, SAM ACHO, is a force for POSITIVITY and JUSTICE in the world.

He is a former NFL player, ESPN analyst, and author, but that doesn’t even begin to describe who Sam is. As you’ll hear, Sam is using his considerable GIFTS and TALENTS to BUILD PEOPLE who can also contribute to making the world a better place.

This Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominee who was also named by Sporting News as one of the 20 SMARTEST athletes in all of sports, now oversees ATHLETES FOR JUSTICE, an organization he founded that unites athletes to fight injustices around the world while also bringing his Christian messages to audiences at churches, concerts, colleges, and companies all around the world.

Sam brings fresh perspectives on people he calls the ARCHITECTS of building others. These architects help others put their lives back together by confronting their insecurities, ultimately leading to the BEST CHOICES that result in the BEST OUTCOMES.

This interview will teach you:

👉🏽 Why you are the answer to someone’s PRAYERS
👉🏽 A hack to IMPROVE your life
👉🏽 Why your loneliness may be a good sign
👉🏽 The value of constructive criticism
👉🏽 How to deal with DISCOURAGEMENT
👉🏽 And why there must be more to life than only pursuing the AMERICAN DREAM

It’s been said the greatest thing you can do is to lift up another human being when they are down.

Sam Acho is the personification of that sentiment, leading a BLESSED LIFE by helping LIFT UP OTHERS in the most incredible ways.
