In this episode of Next Up, Adam Breneman sits down with Nate Burleson, former NFL star turned Emmy Award–winning TV host and entrepreneur.

Nate opens up about how he built a second career even bigger than his first: the struggles of life after football, finding his voice in media, launching new businesses, and why preparation is the secret weapon to success on and off the field.

They talk about chasing trophies beyond the NFL, learning to let go of ego, negotiating high-stakes TV deals, building generational wealth, and what really drives Nate today.
