In this powerful episode of Counsel Culture, Eric sits down with former NFL athlete, author, and speaker Jacob Brown for a raw, vulnerable, and deeply inspiring conversation about redemption, resilience, and faith. From losing his NFL dream to rebuilding a life rooted in purpose, Jacob shares how failure became his fuel—and how being “laid off” can actually mean being launched. Together, Eric and Jacob unpack the lessons of accountability, fatherhood, and leadership through adversity, reminding us that the pressure, heat, and pain we face are what ultimately form the diamond within.

As always, this episode is an invitation to lean in. It’s about growth, grace, and finding meaning in the mess. Whether you’re navigating loss, reinvention, or the next big leap, this conversation will remind you that you are right where you’re supposed to be. 

This episode is dedicated to Jacob's journey. 

This conversation is what we make it. This… is Counsel Culture.
