Sports Motivation Podcast

I break down a powerful clip from Tony Horton's book on the need to be consistent in all that is required from you and the consequences of being unreliable and inconsistent.

In today's episode, I link up with my former teammate from the Saints, a super bowl champ, 10 time NFL veteran, multimillionaire and also named one of the fittest men in the world.
