Ifeadi "The Storyteller" Odenigbo is a 7 year NFL Defensive End and Northwestern Graduate. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings and has played for the New York Giants, Indianapolis Colts, Arizona Cardinals, and the Cleveland Browns.  On the podcast the boys talk all things performance, learning from other greats in the locker room, applying wisdom, how to approach the offseason, and much much more. The conversation includes stops on the importance of water, NAD IVs, Hyperbaric Chamber Treatments, Yoga, Pilates, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Use, and Training Philosophies, as well as life philosophies for handling stress, performance, routines, travel, nature, barefeet, light and dark, and personal improvement. Ifeadi and Brian break down the importance of having a personal philosophy, how Arnold Schwarzenegger exemplifies an admirable philosophy, and Japanese philosophy. Very fun conversation. Hope you enjoy!
