Former Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football Player Drue Tranquill Starts A Podcast

One thing I took away with me from my time at Notre Dame was a love for learning. I enjoy learning new things, and bettering myself, and am always looking for ways to stretch and grow. A few weeks ago I stumbled across a new podcast by former Notre Dame Fighting Irish captain and linebacker, Drue Tranquill (currently with the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers), and it seems like it is right up my alley ... and maybe yours, too? And so I thought I’d share it with you today. Here’s a little bit more about it.

Join NFL linebacker and 2x Notre Dame Football captain, Drue Tranquill, as he uncovers the principles, tactics, and practices allowing businesses, teams, and individuals to function at their best. The Drue Tranquill Podcast is a multi-disciplinary collection of conversations with high performing individuals (entrepreneurs, CEOs, athletes, professors, pastors, etc.). We hope the thoughts and conversations on this podcast will prove to be a helpful resource in helping you maximize your God-given potential.

He has a trailer and four episodes posted. Here is who he’s interviewed so far:

• Entrepreneurship

Blas Moros is a writer and voracious reader. He’s the mind behind the Rabbit Hole, a resource containing over 600 book summaries and recommendations (available at blas.com). Morgan Housel in a recent tweet called the Rabbit Hole, “a goldmine.” This sea of ideas led Blas to create the Latticework, a network for lifelong learners. The Latticework is a framework that interconnects the big ideas from the big disciplines (can be found at ltcwrk.com). Blas is a critical thinker who through both instinct and brute force has found a way to articulate ideas that we can all benefit from. Lastly, and most important, Blas is a husband and father — titles he values greatly. If you’re wondering how someone can be capable of such a high work output, without sacrificing the things that matter most, you should check out this episode. We can all take something from the organization and discipline Blas implements in his life.

In this episode we discuss the Rabbit Hole, Latticework, practical wisdom for lifelong learning, critical tools for time-management, work-life balance, infinite vs. finite games, Blas’s 10-day silent meditation retreat in Nepal, and ideas for improving student’s educational experience.
