Earl Bennett | Life Beyond the NFL, Vanderbilt, and Choosing Purpose Over Hype

Chris Spencer Episode 31

We sit down with former Chicago Bears wide receiver Earl Bennett for a real conversation about his journey from Birmingham, Alabama to the SEC, the NFL, and now college athletics leadership. Earl opens up about being raised in the projects, how Vanderbilt University became the perfect fit over Kentucky and Notre Dame, and what it really took to succeed both on the field and in life after football. It’s a conversation about figuring things out, betting on yourself, and staying grounded no matter how far you go.
