Summary
What does a former University of Miami wide receiver have in common with a NASCAR pit crew? More than you'd think. In this Billified Bite, we head to Watkins Glen as guests of Hayek Motorsports home of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and the #37 car where we sit down with Al Blades Jr., son and nephew of NFL legends, for a candid conversation about his incredible journey through college football, a heart condition that changed everything, a stint with the New York Jets, and ultimately walking away from the game he loved to find something new. We also get into why watching a NASCAR pit stop changed the way we think about success, because the biggest lesson from race day wasn't about speed. It was about teamwork. High achievers don't do it alone. Ever. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/billified-the-bill-moran-podcast--5738193/support .
