Is ego a prerequisite for greatness as an NFL quarterback? In this episode, Ryan is joined by award-winning sports journalist, Seth Wickersham, to dig into the brutal realities of the position, from overbearing parents and sideline meltdowns to Tom Brady’s relationship with Bill Belichick. They talk about the psychology, pressure, and identity struggles that come with the glory of America’s most powerful position in sports.
