Quinn Early played 12 seasons in the NFL as a wide receiver for the San Diego Chargers, the New Orleans Saints, the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. After his time in the NFL, he moved on to become highly skilled in the Martial Arts and now works as a stunt double and performer in movies like American Ultra, Den of Thieves and The Nice Guys.

On this episode, Quinn joined me to talk about another passion of his – honoring his mother’s legacy by publishing her beautiful book “Bryant Acres.” Bryant Acres tell the story of his great grandfather Sherrod Brown, who at the height of slavery in the antebellum south, was a free man of color who sold himself into indentured servitude. He found love and went on to become one of the wealthiest land owners of the time. And in the process built a multi racial community.

Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Alzheimer’s Association and help Quinn raise money to fight Dementia and Alzheimer’s, the disease that ultimately took my mother’s life.
