About this episode

A Conversation with Marvin Washington – From the Gridiron to Greater Purpose

In this powerful episode of Principles for Success, Chris Howell sits down with Super Bowl Champion and former NFL defensive end Marvin Washington for a candid conversation that every man and everyone who loves one needs to hear.

From the hits on the field to the hits men often take in silence, Marvin opens up about life after football and why he is using his platform to champion men’s health, financial literacy, and spiritual wellness. Whether it is sounding the alarm about the dangers of prostate cancer and CTE or helping young athletes build generational wealth, Marvin speaks with clarity, conviction, and compassion.

In this episode:
• Why Marvin is urging Black men to get screened for prostate cancer and how he is using personal experience to lead the charge
• What you really need to know about CTE, concussions, and the risks facing athletes and youth
• How he is blending his past as an NFL star with his present mission as an advocate and financial advisor
• Why prayer, meditation, and consistency are at the core of his personal wellness and success
• The legacy Marvin hopes to leave for his children and how he is helping others do the same

Principle for Success:
“Be consistent. If you want to fail, be inconsistent.” – Marvin Washington
