Growing up biracial, in a predominantly white household and community, Cloud reflects on feeling like she existed in a “gray area”…never feeling fully white, never feeling fully black and how that shaped her outlook. Shedding some tears, she shares how much her parents mean to her and how they embraced her wholeheartedly even though it wasn’t always easy times.

Candid about her personal relationship with fellow WNBA player Isabelle Harrison, Cloud takes us through the challenges of being a Black gay woman, and how she struggled to reconcile her faith with her identity while balancing societal pressures and criticism. By overcoming constant battles, Cloud finds strength in embracing who she is through thick and thin and never lets what others think be of influence. The guys talk about Cloud skipping the 2020 WNBA season to focus on social justice, the burden of constantly speaking out on important issues, and how she’s learned the importance of self-care, acknowledging that while she wants to fight for change, she also understands that she can’t pour from an empty cup.

Natasha Cloud’s story is a beautiful one of pride, courage, love, family and proof that playing basketball is bigger than sports.

“I don't think it's a question of convincing people or convincing the world. My biggest hurdle was convincing myself.” Anthony Mackie on role of Captain America Pivot Family, We are back in New Orleans like we never left! Sitting with NOLA’s hometown hero who’s Hollywood’s new Captain America, Anthony Mackie, is sharing his rise to stardom in the film industry and taking us through how it all started and the challenges faced along the way. This open-book conversation between the guys is hilarious, riveting and full of energy and insight as we learn the real story behind a young black man who grew up in Louisiana with big screen aspirations and wasn’t afraid to be different to pursue his dreams. Anthony’s message about not just making it to the top but sustaining both status and respect in the industry may be unconventional as he tells the guys that success is given and not earned and that we’ve been lying to our youth by telling them differently. He explains how life is pushing past doubt, embracing opportunities, and finding the strength to carry the weight of something bigger than yourself while relying on relationships to find the next best thing. Being Black has yielded him certain experiences as well as taught him that having one talent or one dimension isn’t enough to stay successful but needing an arsenal is what it takes. He talks about the differences between working actors and celebrities, including today’s new wave of names and how the landscape has changed with social media. Anthony admits he never thought he’d be given the role of Captain America but gets vulnerable about the self-doubt he had to overcome... not convincing the world he could do it but convincing himself he was worthy of the role and what it means to represent the character in a new era. Reflecting on his New Orleans upbringing, Anthony tells Ryan, Channing and Fred how guys from “the hood don’t do theater” but he found his calling early on through his elementary teacher who recognized his potential and helped him discover New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) which gave him a sense of belonging and further inspired his acting career. Anthony shares stories and scenes that shaped him including what his rap battle with Eminem in 8 Mile truly signified, how he landed his role in Hurt Locker, how Don Cheadle inspired his craft and how having Denzel Washington as a mentor guided his career path by watching Denzel never be too big to do the little things that give passion purpose. Channing asks his Channing questions as he tells Captain America he’s blown him away with a lot of his films but he didn’t love his character portrayal of 2pac and also asks what led him to being ok playing a gay man. Beyond the big screen, Anthony opens up about losing his mother and best friend as a teenager which was a dark time that ultimately pivoted him down a path to find light again and take acting more seriously. He also discusses the importance of masculinity, raising his four sons to be responsible men and instilling strong family values despite being divorced from their mother. This episode is more than just Hollywood stories and laughs. It’s about resilience, identity, and purpose. Anthony Mackie isn't just a mega star, he's a trailblazer in our time and proof that true leadership comes from honoring the past while inspiring the future. Learn more about your ad choices.

“I’ll have a game where I play 5 minutes and I’ll shed a tear. I know it’s gotta get better. I just have to work my way back up...It gets dark, but I can't lose the light inside of me.” Mikey Williams UCF Basketball Player Pivot Family! As we are gearing up for March Madness in college hoops, Ryan, Channing and Fred sit down with social media star and former #1 high school prospect, Mikey Williams, who is playing at the University of Central Florida and opening up after his fall from the top of the basketball world after his arrest in 2023. The once considered "basketball prodigy" shows a vulnerable side as he reflects on how quickly his success came and how quickly it all slipped away with some bad choices, legal troubles and personal struggles. Becoming a social media sensation through his skill set, Williams talks about how he became a brand in basketball at an early age, ahead of the current NIL landscape, despite telling the guys he played an internet role and really is a quiet, shy guy off the court and off camera. But with fame, came pressure and expectations, and Williams opens up about how that affected his focus at times as well as how easy it was to get caught up in the wrong places. Mikey discusses how basketball and life problems blended together, making it tough to stay locked in and how he had to navigate his path differently to get through adversity and find the right people to keep around him. Ryan and Fred ask him about the incident that changed his life, from five-star high school prospect to facing felony gun charges. Mikey doesn’t shy away from addressing his 2023 arrest, reflecting on the hard lessons learned and how the entire legal experience changed his perspective. He shares advice for young athletes about making the right decisions before it’s too late and admits that during that time, the world saw him as problem child on trial and all he could do was leave it in God’s hands to be freed from it. He reflects on the time he lost while waiting for trial at Memphis, realizing he had taken the game for granted. With so much promise and commitment to play at an elite level and be coached by the legendary Penny Hardaway, Mikey knows what his mistakes cost him and tries to keep faith that his NBA dreams are still obtainable. Now on the road to redemption, playing college ball at University of Central Florida, Williams is locked in on one goal to make it to the league and doesn't think about his plan B. Growing up in the basketball world with other young standouts like Bronny James, Mike says he isn't bitter about them making it but he definitely sheds some tears when his mind thinks about what could have been for his own future. Speaking on the criticism Bronny receives, Mike has empathy and understands what it’s like to be in the spotlight and have every move scrutinized. This conversation goes beyond the surface of what we have seen on social media and what the headlines have deemed Mikey Williams, offering a deeper more personal look into a young man who's fortune and fame early in life took him down a path that is difficult to come back from but a story he is determined to rewrite.

As the core of The Buffalo Bills team, Dion has become one of the faces of the franchise and community for his leadership, dominant play and boisterous personality. Dawkins has high praise for MVP teammate Josh Allen, calling him “one of one” and revealing what makes him a great leader that the world doesn't get to see. He keeps it real about the Bills’ Super Bowl drought, saying they have the key to the door but just can’t seem to open it. Although making peace with their painful AFC Championship loss this season and jokingly sharing what or rather who the team needs to get to the big dance, Dion voices his opinion and confidently claims that Buffalo would’ve put on a better show than Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX. Dion is unapologetically himself and approaches life with 100% confidence and explains you can still be a dawg on the field and a nice guy in real life. A few wrong-time wrong-place type decisions early in his life led Dion to revamp his path the man he wanted to be and living out his vision. He shares how he always knew he was built differently, from shoveling snow for money as a kid to being the last one on football field taking extra reps to adhering his cousin’s warning of the pitfalls that the streets offered. Suffering from a variation of survivor’s guilt, Dion explains how the complicated relationship with his father heavily weighs on him as he opens up on why the two have failed to make peace and the root of the hurt. He talks about being the one who made it in life but is rather ridiculed for it than celebrated. Transparent with his challenging family dynamic, Dion is also an open book with some of his early mistakes that he made navigating his football talents while learning through tough moments that caused others' pain and himself. Reflecting on his college suspension at Temple, Dawkins talks about the humiliation of watching someone else take his reps, the one part of that experience he hasn't reconciled and his message to young athletes about second chances. This conversation is filled with so much honesty, humility and proof that not everything is what it seems and sometimes those who portray a certain persona have a story to tell because often the things that shape us, are not what define us.

"I hope coming from where I come from, I inspire other kids back home from my community, we are a small town but if you put that work in, you can go as far as you want." Cooper DeJean Super Bowl Champion From a small town in Iowa to NFL Super Star in his first year with the Philadelphia Eagles, Cooper DeJean has shaken up the sports world with his high level of play by breaking the mold for cornerbacks in the league. Fresh off the Super Bowl Parade, Ryan, Channing and Fred sit with the rookie defensive back as he reflects on his unbelievable season, turning stereotypes into success, proving doubters wrong and how his dream became his football reality. A man of many NFL nicknames- the Caucasian Corner, Cooper DeJawn, One half of the Exciting Whites, but after his interception for a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, Cooper DeJean is now a household name. Growing up in Odebolt, Iowa, DeJean didn’t always see football as his future and thought basketball was his path until his on-field football skills became hard to ignore. Through hard work and sacrifice, Cooper shares how his upbringing molded him into the man he is today, how his parents' unwavering support led him to chase his NFL dream that has now made him a Super Bowl champion at just 22 year old. Spinning the white cornerback stereotype into a movement, Cooper embraced his opportunity and at every turn continued to shut down opposing offenses and consistently led the defense with aggressive playmaking. Going in-depth with the Eagles game plan to talking the guys through the team's mindset leading up to the big game, Cooper opens up on how Philadelphia prepared for victory while giving an inside perspective to the their decisive win over the defending champions, Kansas City Chiefs. He shares how the night before the game a certain energy filtrated the locker room from powerful speeches made by the veterans to the look of certainty in each of his teammates' eyes. The bright lights and global stage of Super Bowl Sunday didn't cripple momentum but rather spurred more motivation as Cooper couldn't have scripted his birthday any better than picking off Patrick Mahomes and returning it for a touchdown to put the Eagles in control. Admittedly, Cooper shares how he didn't fully grasp the magnitude of the moment in real time and to him, he was just out there playing football like he's always done. He shares the unique leadership and focus of Quarterback Jalen Hurts and how Saquon Barkley helped guide him through his rookie year, pushing him to be the best version of himself every week. The Philadelphia roster remains intact heading into the offseason which has the guys fired up to get back to ball and see what the future holds to defend their title. Cooper's humility keeps him grounded as he continues to be an example for his community back home that through hard work and dedication, anything is possible. He shares some of the messages he received after his championship title including from fellow Iowa Hawkeye Caitlin Clark, who despite rooting for Kansas City was beyond happy to congratulate her college friend.

“Even with the good, you know, the bad is going to always come. And I will always say block out the outside noise. You only control what you can control." Derek Stingley Jr's advice from his father Special episode to kick off Super Bowl week as Ryan, Channing and Fred sit with a football family spanning three NFL generations. Louisiana natives nick-named Big Sting and Little Sting-Derek Stingley Sr. and Derek Stingley Jr. chat about legacy of their family name in football, dealing with heartache, overcoming unimaginable challenges, the sacrifices it takes to reach the highest level of the game and how to stay at the top once you are there. Derek Stingley Jr, Houston Texans' All Pro Cornerback, is one of the most explosive and skilled players in the NFL, going from a stand out at LSU and part of the 2019 National Championship team to now paving his own path as one of the top defensive players in the league while living out the legacy of his family name. But the young Stingley's football story started long ago. His father shares the story of Sting's grandfather, Darryl Stingley, whose career was tragically cut short after a paralyzing hit in an NFL preseason game. Derek Stingley Sr recalls watching the hit that would forever alter their family's life and despite the trauma of his father’s injury, Stingley Sr. never ran from football. He explains that his father instilled in him the mindset that “as football players, we assume the risks'," and this same mentality was passed down to his son, Stingley Jr who shares in the memories of his late grandfather, his approach to the game and how his own dad's tough coaching prepared him for the NFL level now. As a proud father, Stingley Sr understands its the 1% of the 1% who make it to the NFL but recalls the "this is different" moment when he first saw something special in his son, Derek Jr while coaching him as a young boy who always wanted to match up against the older kids and thrived on competition. “I stood back there with my hands on my hair like, oh my God, like, how could somebody that young do that or think that?". Stingley Jr. reflects on his journey to the NFL, from his time at LSU, where he was regarded as the best player on the team as a freshman on a National championship team that featured Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson. He and his father discuss how they handled the outside noise whether it’s praise or criticism. When it comes to on-the-field matchups, Stingley Jr. breaks down his first experiences in the NFL, discussing the speed of the game, going against elite quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, and recognizing the talent of practice squad players who don’t get the credit they deserve. He assesses his season, believing he could have had far more interceptions, showcasing the high expectations he holds for himself. Having played the Kansas City Chiefs twice this year, Sting shares what he thinks the Philadelphia Eagles must do to slow down the man in red and white wearing #15 looking for his 3rd back to back title in Super Bowl LIX.

"The name on my back was always my moral compass." Jerome Bettis Here comes the Bus! Yes Pivot Family, we have an epic episode as Ryan, Channing, and Fred sit with NFL legend and Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis, known in the football world as “The Bus.” Bettis shares stories from his humble beginnings to strong family bonds to renowned football career to his life journey making it from the streets of Detroit to the fame walls of Canton and inspiring moments along the way. Very few organizations have the identity the Pittsburgh Steelers have and Jerome Bettis is very clear on how that football organization shaped not just his play on the field but his way of life in how he approached every aspect of life. He recounts how Pittsburgh’s blue-collar mentality resonated with him, how the locker room shared in a special camaraderie with players embracing the culture that created the team's collective drive for greatness. Starting the conversation off with a little fun reflecting on the old rivalry between Bettis and Freddy T back in the days where Fred would have some of his best games vs the Pittsburgh Steelers which transitions the guys into talking the current state of the NFL, specifically the diminishing value of running backs and how today’s offenses have shifted away from the power running game Backs like them thrived in. Bettis calls out how Philadelphia being in the Super Bowl is no surprise since the team acquired Saquon who in Bettis' mind, is the ideal Franchise running back along with Derrick Henry, who both proved a strong ground game is a must for a team's longevity. Speaking of Super Bowl, Bettis recounts the pivotal moment that shaped his decision to delay retirement: a conversation with his late teammate Clark Haggans about playing the big game in Bettis' hometown of Detroit and how he couldn't miss that run. His decision led to a full circle moment capping his career with a storybook ending winning a Super Bowl title with his Pittsburgh Steelers. The discussion dives into Bettis’ early life in inner-city Detroit, where football wasn’t initially on his radar. He candidly shares how his high school coach helped steer him away from the streets, convincing him that he had the talent to play in the NFL. Bettis credits this intervention as his pivotal moment, leading him to Notre Dame, where legendary coach Lou Holtz recruited him and paved the way for a new opportunity. He opens up on moments of humility, including a funny story about winning Rookie of the Year but still being required to take out the trash at his parents’ house as well as insights into his father’s advice to always protect the family name and the pride he felt seeing fans wear his jersey...a constant reminder to uphold a standard of excellence. A journey filled with so many highs and powerful moments, Bettis never shys away from the lessons learned along the way, although he jokes he didn't think his own teammate Ryan would bring up the hardest one to talk about. Emotion masked with laughter, Bettis reflects on how his career could have ended so much differently after fumbling the opportunity of his life-long dream in the AFC Championship game vs the Indianapolis Colts. He takes Ryan, Channing and Fred through the rollercoaster of emotions in that few second span and how humility turned to hope and how his life was forever changed for the better and his legacy cemented in history books. With humor, wisdom, and candid storytelling, this episode highlights the many sides of Jerome Bettis—from the relentless competitor to the devoted family man. You don't need to be a Steelers fan to appreciate this powerful story filled with inspiration, lessons, prayer, perseverance, humility, and the pursuit of greatness.

“What do you want your legacy to be as a coach? Do you want to be Vince Lombardi or Bear Bryant? I said Bear Bryant… So, what are you doing going to Miami than?” The conversation we've all been waiting for where Channing's infamous stories get checked, and we have some laughs while we learn the path of one of the most respected and successful figures in sports. Ahead of College Football's National Championship, we get to sit with the man who has the most wins with 7 titles and decades of storied seasons. Newly selected Hall of Fame Coach and the true GOAT of college football, Nick Saban, is sitting with Ryan, Channing and Fred for a rare and personal look into the journey that shaped his life, the values that drive his success, and the lessons learned from decades of coaching at the highest level. The conversation begins with Saban reflecting on his humble beginnings and how he stumbled into coaching, despite initially wanting nothing to do with it. He recalls working at his father’s service station and the life-changing moment he realized coaching was a way to combine his love for competition with a deeper purpose: shaping young men’s futures. With humor and humility, Coach shares how he never set out to become the “GOAT” but focused on the process—a philosophy that has become synonymous with his name. Saban notes pivotal moments in his career, including his brief and challenging stint with the Miami Dolphins. He opens up about the decision not to sign Drew Brees due to a failed physical, a move that still lingers as one of his biggest “what-ifs.” Despite this, he explains why returning to college football was the right decision, allowing him to develop players both on and off the field in ways the NFL couldn’t. Both having played for Saban, Ryan and Channing speak of Saban’s legendary leadership style, exploring how he motivates players and manages diverse personalities. He shares how he learned to tailor his coaching approach to each individual and how to get the best out of his guys that went way beyond talent and skill. It's a known thing that when you see Coach Saban, his wife isn't too far away. Always by his side, Miss Terry has been Coach's partner in life, football and all his endeavors for more than 50 years as the two met as young kids and created this life they could never imagine which has been sustained through love, success and true dedication. The conversation goes from life lessons to lighter locker room talk as the guys bring up Channing's rookie stunt during Saban's tenure in Miami to get his reaction and how that really all went down, Saban responds in the best "Nick Saban" way possible as Ryan, Fred and Channing break out into laughter. From joking around and reminiscing, the episode reveals never-told-before stories, the real reason why Saban said farewell to coaching as the guys don't shy away from discussing the challenges facing modern college football. Saban gets into the current state of NIL while sharing his concerns for growth, character building and how the futures of young men are being altered. In a reflective moment, Saban looks back on his life and all the things he feels defined him as he recalls certain times he had to push his teams harder, especially when complacency crept in after winning which led to creating his famous, “nothing speech,” where he reminds players that entitlement leads to nothing and what underscores commitment to hard work and accountability. Packed with humor, wisdom, and powerful lessons, this episode offers an unparalleled look into the mind of one of sports' greatest leaders. Whether you’re a fan of the game or simply looking for inspiration, Nick Saban’s journey will leave you motivated to trust the process and redefine success on your own terms.
