Carl and Sage: We’re Lucky and Prepared

from Formative

Today, we’re joined by Carl Nassib. Carl is a former NFL player and currently the founder and CEO of Rayze, a social media app that connects nonprofits with donors and volunteers. With his career transition, Carl has learned a thing or two about reinvention and the imposter syndrome that comes with it. He talks to middle schooler, Sage, about that, plus  the misconceptions of being a professional athlete and why it’s never just luck that gets you far in your life and career.
