Why This Podcast Exists: The Story Behind Honor Your Story

Welcome to Honor Your Story. In this first episode, Coach Taylor shares the real story behind why this show, and the Honor Your Story journal series, exists at all: his grandfather, one of the best high school football players in his state, nicknamed "the line plunging devil," who was talked out of playing college ball and carried that regret for the rest of his life.

This episode is about why so many veterans' and athletes' stories go untold, not because they don't matter, but because nobody ever asks. It's the story behind Who Did You Become, a memory journal for veterans, and How Good Were You, a memory journal for former athletes, and why every purchase gives back, to the Wounded Warrior Project and Every Kid Sports.

If there's a veteran or a former athlete in your life whose story has never been fully told, this episode is for you.
