“Sometimes we have to teach elders how to be elders.” – Rashad Jennings

Fresh off the hit Hulu show Got To Get Out, former NFL running back Rashad Jennings sits down with Emmy Award-winning host Gabe Henderson for a powerful conversation about navigating life’s many transitions.

From being a self-proclaimed “overweight kid with glasses and asthma” to becoming a Dancing With The Stars champion, Rashad’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Through all the highs and lows, he’s learned how to build systems, create life checklists, and stick to a process to reach his goals.

Now a New York Times best-selling author, Rashad continues to use his platform to uplift and empower others—without losing sight of what really matters. His humble roots in Central Virginia shaped his relentless work ethic, and now, as a father (with another child on the way), he’s focused on passing those life lessons down to the next generation.

This episode goes far beyond football. Rashad opens up about the challenges of finding his identity outside of the game and shares wisdom on how to stay grounded through seasons of change.

As he puts it:

“The shield is the reason you care for me, but the shield is not my purpose.”

Poised for the next chapter of his life, Rashad Jennings is living proof that purpose evolves—and transitions are simply part of the process.

Sit back and enjoy this honest, inspiring, and deeply human conversation about embracing change and rising above life’s obstacles.
