In today’s episode, I sit down with NFL legend and Las Vegas native Steven Jackson to talk about what it really takes to sustain excellence, both on the field and in life. Steven shares the story behind his Mount Kilimanjaro climb, the mindset that carried him through pain and pressure, and the importance of putting one foot in front of the other when the path gets hard. We talk about how early mornings help him silence the noise, why being drafted 24th overall fueled his motivation, and how he made decisions that set him up for success long after football. His approach to giving, growth, and grit continues to shape the legacy he’s building today.
