Guilt-free wine. Too good to be true? Nope! Today, I am pleased to chat with Todd White of Dry Farm Wines. Dry Farm Wines is my new favorite obsession. Just because the holidays are over, it doesn’t mean we can’t still drink and be merry.

57. Ricky Watters on football and life after the NFL

Ricky Watters is a running back who played for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Seattle Seahawks. As a football fan, I enjoyed learning more about Ricky’s journey to the NFL and the hard core training it took to play at an elite level. We also talk about life after the NFL and his current passion for helping others through motivational speaking. I met Ricky and his family when they joined Wah Lum many years ago, and although they have moved back to the West Coast, I am happy we have kept in touch. It was fun to learn about what really happens when you are on the field on ‘Any Given Sunday.’
