"Stay in the moment, take ownership of your life and Identify what success looks like on your own terms."- Fred Taylor
Farewell to 2024 and ready for 2025? Ryan, Channing and Fred sit down for a reflective conversation about life, parenting, family, work, sports and discuss what's to come. 2024 year comes to a close and the guys are chatting about this time of year, the lessons learned, things we wish we could redo, the opportunities we hope for, the work we put in and the commitment we give to the things and people we love.
Do you ever take a minute and think back to a day and wish you could redo that day or have that moment back to relive? Well the guys do just that, as they each look back at a very impactful time they had this past year and share why it was so instrumental and meaningful. Sometimes it's the simplest of things that mean the most and often the ones we take for granted. A lesson for everyone is to understand time is beyond our control and that we can never be too busy or too disconnected to understand the defining points of our journey.
Ryan asks the guys to each share their top moment in sports and Channing has his immediately but is in disbelief he's choosing this moment, since he hated on it so much. Fred talks about the power of the Olympics this summer and how it united the world but also allowed us all to learn the journeys of so many young athletes. Ryan reflects on the Freeman family, winning the World Series and what it meant to the sports world but the inspiration it was for so many who were touched by Freddie Freeman sharing his story.
College Football is all the talk in sports right now with the new 12 team playoff format and heading into the bowl games with the final 8 teams standing. Ryan is personally loving this as his son Jordan, playing for Notre Dame, is matching up against College football's elite, the Georgia Bulldogs, as Ryan shares what the moment means for him as a father and also how much he is loving this new play in tournament. Fred and Channing are fans of this new format and as former SEC guys are excited to have competitive football in December, not just the one game in January.
The guys give their NFL round-up heading into the last week of the football season and give flowers to the players who have had insane seasons, break out years, playoff teams and reveal their picks of who will make it to the big game in February. Talking Ravens, Lions, Bengals, Vikings, Bills, Chiefs and more....and who do they have for the 2024 NFL MVP pick?
Closing out the show, instead of New Year's Resolutions, each guy shares something they want to work on in 2025 and a Pivotal message of help, hope and reassurance to anyone listening to this conversation. Fred is stepping back and trying to tune out the noise of others while living in the moment of his own wins, success and happiness. Channing's direct message is needed while Ryan's own experiences and struggles this past year is leading him to have a different approach in the new year. Powerful words and message from the guys hoping to resonate with all of our Pivot family for the days and months to come.
