364: Valuable Lessons of Teamwork, Leadership and Legacy from 4x Super Bowl Champion, Rocky Bleier

Today, I’m talking to former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Robert “Rocky” Bleier. Rocky is a 4x Super Bowl champion, the Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart recipient, and the author of Fighting Back: The Rocky Bleier Story and Don’t Fumble Your Retirement. 

Rocky has made a massive impact on people’s lives as a parent, grandparent, serviceman, and Pittsburgh Steeler–and it was an honor to talk to him today in anticipation of his upcoming speech at his alma mater, Notre Dame. 

In our conversation, we get into the big lessons Rocky learned about teamwork and leadership from his college football days at Notre Dame, how his experience in the army translated to his life in the NFL, and how we build a legacy through our actions–and what we teach–for future generations.
