Ryan, along with Taj Dashaun, founder of Thrive After Sports Life, peel back the layers of the athletic mindset, sharing their own pivots from competitive play to carving out new professional identities. Their dialogue illuminates the critical steps in crafting a 'second act' that's as fulfilling as the first. Whether you're a former athlete or someone seeking to channel your drive and passion into a new vocation, this conversation promises to shed light on the beauty of reinvention.
With a football journey that drove him to drugs, depression, and a blurred vision of life beyond College football, Taj now turns out to be the solace and guidance he lacked at his corner during his second wind. Therein he founded Thrive After Sports, a holistic one-on-one program for retired athletes that is driven by the simple but transformative mission of equipping athletes with the tools to thrive in life after sports. He goes beyond helping players find jobs and start businesses to help them find fulfillment in every area of their lives.
Tune in to learn more about:
- The motivation behind launching Thrive after sports
- Challenges faced during his college football career and their impact on his resilience and coping strategies
- Roles undertaken during the emotional aftermath of college graduation
- Strategies for discovering one's off-court path, thriving within it, and finding fulfillment

Welcome to the Thrive After Sports Collaborative!
What this group is:
A place where I will introduce you to my business partners, mentors, and current/former coaching clients to help further your career, grow your business, and run together as teammates in life.
A place where you can feel free to ask for help/advice from me, and everyone else in the group (Don’t be shy, we’re all learning and growing together here).
A place to freely promote your business, products, podcast, etc. (We practice group economics here).
A place to get ongoing coaching/support from me, and other experts.
What this group is NOT:
Just another boring networking group (We're here to take action and build together).
A place where I (Taj) do all the posting, and everyone sits back and applauds. This is a collaborative group, not a cult.
Another social media platform. None of us need anymore distractions. Only come in here when you want to ask a question, or contribute.
Welcome to the squad!
