    He's a Triple Threat- From the NFL to being a contestant on Survivor to successful author, STEVE WRIGHT is this week's guest on The Approach Shot

    Isn't it worth exploring how a gladiatorial sport like football can coexist with the softer aspects of human nature? Brace yourselves for a truly interesting discussion with Steve Wright, former NFL offensive lineman for the Cowboys, Raiders and more, and Survivor contestant. Our conversation weaves through his life, challenges, and the societal pressures. It’s an exciting journey through his experiences that are as enlightening as they are entertaining.

    We meander through the pages of Steve's book, "Aggressively Human," which forms the crux of the conversation. It's a unique perspective on balancing aggression with empathy, challenging the stereotypical machismo associated with footballers. Steve's reflection on his rookie year with the Dallas Cowboys and Dwight Clark's infamous "Catch" adds a fascinating dimension. While delving into his personal life, he also shares his father's cherished popcorn recipe, adding a touch of homely warmth to the discussion.

    Tune in for this inspiring journey that might change your perspective on life, football, and everything in between.
