Description

Marshall Exler, known to many as Big Papi, turned his grief into a mission. After losing his wife Faye to a rare cancer, he dedicated himself to keeping her memory alive, walking 100,000 steps in 24 hours, raising awareness for sarcoma, and using his platform to spark conversation. In this episode, we talk heartbreak, resilience, viral content, and why giving back is now a part of who he is. The tears, the fight, the purpose. Enjoy, gang!
