Welcome to a new episode of the Traditional Talk podcast! Today’s guest is none other than Antonio Brown, Super Bowl champion, NFL legend, rapper, entrepreneur, and outspoken advocate for cannabis and mental health. In this episode, we dive deep into AB’s journey from the football field to the music studio, his experiences with cannabis, and his mission to change the narrative around mental health and legalization. This episode is for anyone interested in sports, personal growth, cannabis culture, and the power of reinvention.
Highlights:
“I played football to make a life, not to ruin my life.”
“Cannabis is the best medicine in the world, better than any pain pill.”
“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Have a relationship with God and be true to yourself.”
“Everybody goes through trauma. It’s not about how hard you fall, it’s how you get back up.”
