Michael Robinson | Leadership, Adversity & Life After the NFL

Chris Spencer Episode 30

We sit with former NFL fullback and media personality Michael Robinson for an unfiltered conversation about purpose, resilience, and the power of community. From growing up in Richmond, Virginia, to winning Big Ten Player of the Year and becoming a Pro Bowler, Mike opens up about the real challenges behind the glory — single-parent upbringing, evolving through adversity, and navigating identity shifts after football.

We dive into what it means to be more than an athlete, the power of mentorship, and how leadership is forged in quiet moments off the field. With stories of street football, locker room lessons, and life-altering conversations with Coach Paterno, this episode goes deeper than stats and highlights — it’s about transformation, truth, and the journey to becoming your full self.
