This episode is a masterclass in turning passion into PURPOSE—and PURPOSE into IMPACT. 🔥 Before the accolades… before the research… before becoming a respected voice at Georgia Institute of Technology… Dr. Jacqueline Garner was just a young girl sitting beside her father, learning the game of football play by play. That early exposure didn’t just create a fan—it sparked a lifelong journey into understanding the deeper meaning of sports and how it shapes lives far beyond the field. And in this episode, we unpack ALL of it. This conversation goes way deeper than a traditional sports story.
