Did you know… only 1% of college athletes will go on to play professionally? Now, we see these athletes all the time because we’re usually chanting their names in front of our TVs with friends. But what happens to the other 99% who take off their uniforms…and never step inside a locker room again? For Thomas R. Williams, taking off the uniform was something he never planned for. Nicknamed “The Hitman”, he was the image of a talented football player. A two-time national champ for the University of Southern California and an NFL career first at Jacksonville and then Tampa. But a career-ending neck injury in 2012 forced Thomas to look in the mirror and ask the same question 99% of athletes have to ask themselves each year: “Who am I, now that the helmet is off?” One career shift later, Thomas had his answer. And he’s helping other athletes find their answer too. SHIFTERS WISDOM: “Identify your strengths because your strengths are what made you successful in your previous career and it’s those same strengths that will make you successful in your next career.” ( thomas@thomasrwilliams.com | www.thomasrwilliams.com | https://www.instagram.com/TRW_permissiontodream/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasrwilliams/) Shifters Podcast powered by RTB Capital Group Power-packed 15-minute conversations with entrepreneurs who share their stories of shifting in life or business to keep on the move.

Full Episode: http://bit.ly/ep15CaraArmstrong It’s 3 a.m. and with a puff of air, you blow the hair out of your face. Only providing a moment of relief, the strands fall right back into your eyes. You wish you could just fix it, but you have a crying baby in one arm while you’re trying to make formula with the other. Seems like a pretty normal scenario for any parent. But for Cara Armstrong, it was unexpected. You see, she always vowed when she became a mom she would breastfeed. But when her daughter, Mia was born diagnosed with Down syndrome, everything changed…including the ability to breastfeed her. It was during that 3 a.m. formula feeding that Cara became a shifter in the making. Now known as the “Fearless Mom” even by the hosts from The View, she went from emergency room nurse to CEO by revolutionizing the instant formula experience so parents can spend more precious moments with their children. It certainly didn’t happen overnight. It’s a journey of persistence, compassion, and finding inspiration even during those life-altering moments when you’re not sure if you can move forward.
