Your Purpose Over Success with Trent Shelton | Ep 15

LFG Energy Podcast

In this powerful conversation, I sat down with former NFL player turned motivational leader Trent Shelton to explore the profound wisdom he's gained through both triumph and tragedy. Trent openly shares his journey through multiple personal losses in 2021, including his mother and grandmother, while offering deep insights into how he transformed these experiences into fuel for growth. As an introverted athlete who found success in the boisterous NFL, Trent reveals how he maintained his authentic self while achieving at the highest level, and discusses his transition from professional sports to becoming a purpose-driven entrepreneur and speaker.
