In this episode, Ed sits down with his son, Darian, to dive deep into their shared journey of football, business, and the evolving dynamics of their father-son relationship. Once an up-and-coming football player, Darian candidly discusses his early passion for the sport, the college football experience, and the moment he chose to leave it behind. Throughout his playing career, Darian felt moments when Ed slipped more into the role of a “coach” rather than a father, but their shared experiences in sports solidified their bond. As they transitioned to working together in their family business, new challenges arose in distinguishing between Ed as a father and a boss. Darian shares cherished memories outside of work and sports and highlights the life lessons he’s absorbed from Ed’s triumphs and setbacks. As Darian embarks on his own journey of fatherhood, their conversation offers a reflective look at the enduring love and lessons that transcend generations.
