Terry Bradshaw is the only quarterback in NFL history to win four Super Bowls while calling his own plays.
Drafted #1 overall in 1970. Two-time Super Bowl MVP. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1989. First NFL player on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Three decades on FOX NFL Sunday.
He'll tell you the rings were never the point. What he talks about now is what outlasts the win column. How to keep showing up. How to go back to basics.
The youngest living Medal of Honor recipient.
At 20, Kyle Carpenter threw himself on a live grenade in Afghanistan to save a fellow Marine. He spent five weeks unconscious and over two years at Walter Reed, more than 40 surgeries to rebuild what the blast took.
He calls everything after that his bonus life. A marathon. A college degree. Everest base camp.
"If you are here and alive, you're still in the fight."

Bear Grylls on fear and why the only way through is forward:
“If someone says they’re never scared, they’re either not doing anything that challenges them or they’re not telling the truth.
I’ve learned the only way to deal with fear is to walk toward it.”

At work, what we don't say is doing more damage than what we do.
That's the gap at the heart of University of Chicago professor Nicholas Epley's research. In one experiment, commuters assigned to try to talk to a stranger reported feeling more positive at the end of their ride than those told to keep to themselves. Almost everyone predicts the opposite. The same hidden psychological barriers are at work in every team trying to build a stronger culture, surface real ideas, and make innovation possible.
His new book A Little More Social is out tomorrow.
The conversations stronger cultures require are the ones every workplace most avoids.
In his new book A Little More Social, University of Chicago professor Nicholas Epley shows people consistently underestimate how positively others respond to outreach, honesty, and real conversation. The cost of avoiding those interactions shows up where it matters most: trust, candor, and engagement.

There are days your brain feels like it's working against you. Days you can't focus, can't sleep, can barely show up. The hardest part is believing you're the only one. You aren't.

The first living Medal of Honor recipient since Vietnam.
October 25, 2007. Korengal Valley, Afghanistan. Sal Giunta's squad was ambushed at close range. His body armor took rounds. His secondary weapon was hit. He kept moving.
He pulled his fallen squad leader to cover. Then, advancing alone over a ridge, he saw two insurgents carrying an American soldier away. He went after them and brought his comrade back.
The medal came three years later. What he teaches now is what the firefight taught him about leadership.
"I didn't say go do that. I said follow me."
Forty-one years ago, Ron Rivera became the first American of Puerto Rican descent to win a Super Bowl.
Last week, he was inducted into the inaugural class of the Hispanic Football Hall of Fame, joining Tom Fears, Tom Flores, Ted Hendricks, Anthony Muñoz, Jim Plunkett, and Steve Van Buren as the seven names that opened the door.
In his own words: "When I played football at Cal, there weren't a lot of guys that were like me. To be accepted, to fit in, I felt I had to be special."
Two-time NFL Coach of the Year. Co-founder of the Hall of Fame that now honors him.

"I'm 24 years old. I'm gonna be just fine." That's what a quadruple amputee soldier said to Admiral William McRaven at Walter Reed.
He never forgot it.
Hope is the most powerful force in the universe. You may never have the chance to rescue Captain Phillips. But you can always write a note. Make a call. Give someone a little hope.
The cascading effect is always worth it.
Admiral William McRaven went to Walter Reed to comfort his wounded men.
A 24-year-old quadruple amputee, leaning against a rail in the rehab center, comforted him instead.
McRaven never forgot what he said.

"If you can't say one good something happened to me today, you've wasted your day."
Terry Bradshaw's measure of a life well lived. Not the Super Bowls. Not the money. Not the franchises.
One good something.
