Thrive after Sports with Taj Dashaun | A Frugal Athlete

In this episode, Amobi chats with Taj Dashaun. Taj shares his transition secrets, what he is up to now, and insights on how to best thrive after sports as an athlete entrepreneur and in the corporate space. They also talk about why every athlete should consider writing a book and what it means from a business and legacy perspective.  Taj Dashaun is a former Division 1 collegiate football player for Stony Brook University. When his football career ended, Taj struggled heavily with depression. Because he was so focused on the game, he never fully developed a clear vision for his life. After several years of stumbling around in the emotional darkness of uncertainty, Taj began to take his eyes off of himself and focus on serving others. He now runs an intensive program for retired athletes who, like he once was, are struggling to adapt to life after sports. Not only does Taj help former players land jobs and start businesses, he helps them find fulfillment in every area of their lives. It has become his personal mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics. Taj is also the host of Thrive After Sports podcast.  Connect with Taj on Instagram, LinkedIn, or his website. Listen to his podcast Thrive After Sports here. This episode is sponsored by Enzo.
