Summary
In today’s episode, I sit down with Patrice Evra, former Manchester United and France captain, to talk about what it really takes to win at the highest level. We get into the mindset of becoming a “monster” in pursuit of greatness, and the sacrifices that come with it, from family strain to personal loss. Patrice shares how his upbringing shaped his resilience, why he was never driven by money, and how success can come at the cost of connection. We also talk about healing from past trauma, finding purpose after football, and why giving back and staying present now defines his version of happiness.
