Today’s guest on Something Like the Offseason is Darrion Weems. Darrion was a standout offensive linemen at Oregon and in the NFL who decided to leave the game while still arguably at the height of his abilities (a decision we cover in the pod). He’s now an entrepreneur and creative, working in real estate, selling scripts in Hollywood, acquiring companies, and a whole bunch more. A former teammate of Micah’s, Darrion is a modern day renaissance man and was an insightful and hilarious guest that you’ll love getting to listen to. 

During their conversation Micah has Darrion answer his big four questions, before diving into Darrion’s choice to stop playing football while still in his prime, how he found what was next, learning to think in the long term, creating new patterns and processes, and much more.

Think of each episode as something like the Twilight Zone, with guns, knives, and whatever the hero can find to defend themselves and their families from the bad guys. These are Basil's original action novels taken down to single episode bite size chunks that'll get your blood pressure up on the commute to the office, or while on the treadmill at the gym.

But hopefully you'll have a good time listening to my podcasts! (Please to make sure to check my friend's podcast The Dank Kings Podcast. I'm part of his podcast sometimes and we talk something similar to what my description said.)Cover art photo provided by John Reign Abarintos on Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/@jareeign Explicit Killed by Desk killedbydesk.com Have you ever wondered what the weirdos behind your favorite records are doing when they’re not losing money in punk rock?
