<p class="ai-optimize-6 ai-optimize-introduction">When Rick Burgess was growing up, his father, Bill Burgess, was also his football coach. But Bill was a mentor on and off the field not only for his own son but for the many young men he coached at both the high school and collegiate level. Though Bill has passed on, his lessons remain timeless and valuable for all men. Today on the show, Rick shares some of his old-school wisdom with us.</p>
<p class="ai-optimize-7">Rick is a radio host, a men’s ministry leader, and the author of <a href="https://amzn.to/445q8kg"><em>Men Don’t Run in the Rain: A Son’s Reflections on Life, Faith, and an Iconic Father</em></a>. In our conversation, he discusses what his dad taught him through football and beyond, including why men don’t run in the rain and why you need to get out of the stands, avoid being stupid, refuse to rest on your laurels, understand the difference between confidence and arrogance, and take full responsibility for your life without making excuses. We also talk about how Rick drew upon his father’s wisdom when tragedy struck his life.</p>
