## Resource

Rod and Donte dive into the mind and heart of co-host Patrick Willis as he walks us through his life leading through the NFL to the Hall Of Fame. What he overcame as a child living in poverty and the lessons he learned and took from his family, friends and coaches throughout. Patrick is a testament to grit, kindness, tenacity, and being an absolute BEAST on the field. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
