Episode 052: Bobby Carpenter – Self-Awareness, Tom Brady, & A Career In Politics?

I’ve been fortunate to know Bobby for the last 15 years… We met when he was a teammate with my younger brother AJ at Ohio State. I’ve always know Bobby to be an incredibly interesting person. He tells it like it is and isn’t afraid to share his true feelings. During our conversation for this podcast, Bobby didn’t mince words and was not scared to voice his feelings about great leaders as well as people who he disagrees with. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Bobby! I promise you will learn a lot from listening to it…
