Pressure, Leadership & Showing Up

Introduction

Alex
All right, fellas, I'm so pumped for today's guest. This is somebody that I've looked up to from afar for a long, long time. One of the toughest dudes in football. Started 210 consecutive football games. But it's so much more than that. A guy that was a fellow number one pick in the NFL draft and just also comes from one of the most unique families, not only in sports, but in America, and just can't wait to talk to him. That's Eli Manning. So pumped to have you on, man.
