Finding Your Purpose Outside of Your Career

Matt Forte is remembered as one of the Chicago Bears’ all-time greats, but now he’s tackling something different: helping people find purpose that lasts beyond their career. Esau McCaulley and producer Mike sit down with Forte to talk about his new book Staying in the Game: Making the Most of Every Season. Forte opens up about walking away from the NFL, redefining success, and why our identity can’t be built on stats, fame, or jersey numbers.
