Troy Aikman On His Two Biggest Failures And Forgiving Himself In His 50’s

I'm thrilled for this special episode of Midlife Male, where I have the incredible honor of sitting down with three-time Super Bowl champion and all-around legend Troy Aikman. Together, we peel back the layers to reveal the man behind the myth, delving into his struggles with fame, divorce, and social anxiety. Troy opens up about his relentless drive, why he considers himself in the prime of his life, and how meditation has helped unlock a new level of growth. He shares his daily routine and habits that keep him in the best shape of his life, his thoughts on fatherhood, the importance of defining your priorities, and so much more!
