In this powerful and inspirational episode, we sit down with Michael Pierce, who recently retired after a remarkable 8-year career in the NFL—most of it spent in the trenches with the Baltimore Ravens. From going undrafted to becoming one of the league’s most respected nose tackles, Mike shares the raw truth about the highs, lows, and everything in between.

We dive deep into his journey from humble beginnings in Mobile, Alabama, to making a name for himself in one of the toughest positions in football. Mike reflects on his path as an undrafted free agent, earning respect the hard way, and how he turned multiple injuries and setbacks into motivation to keep pushing forward.

We also explore:

1. What it’s like to transition out of the NFL after nearly a decade
2. The mental and emotional shift athletes face when leaving the game
3. Life advice for grinders—those who have to earn every inch
4. How his father’s influence shaped his mindset and character
5. The role of faith, discipline, and resilience in his personal growth

Whether you're chasing a dream, rebuilding after a setback, or simply need to hear from someone who's walked through fire and came out stronger, Michael’s story will move you.
