    After a wild and busy 7 weeks, Ryan, Channing and Fred sit down to reflect about life on the road, the grind launching The Pivot and share some of their best moments along the way.
    Ryan talks about the various guests we've had and the team's approach in searching out stories and traveling location to location to get it done. Fred leans in on the hustle and camaraderie between the guys and Channing shares his laughable moments as well as the teachable ones.
    Reflecting on the guests so far, the shows we've done and looking ahead for a preview of what's to come, It's all about the lessons learned and how to accept, adjust and move forward.
    We appreciate all of you rocking with us and joining us on this journey, we are just getting started!

      You aren't really that naive are you?! They just took Brandon's idea and started a rival podcast. I keep giving them the side eye because of their stupidity and disloyalty! Brandon Marshall STARTED it, AND they all of a sudden - has beens, except for Fred, wanted equal money like the creator, Brandon. That was HIS baby and he revitalized their careers! Marshall asked them to join HIS branded idea. They weren't doing ANYTHING! I can only glance at this! It's not Brandon's fsujt that they don't understand business! Marshall is doing better; has a new network job, some of the IAA episodes have done very well WITHOUT them. They had a good thing going, and they messed it up because Marshall's business idea and brand BLEW up. Jealousy. Just jealousy! Sad. Fred and Channing don't even have the charm and synergy that they had with IAA. SMH

Then everything changed and I knew the show I loved was coming to an end. It was tough to understand because they always spoke about supporting each other. But from that tough moment came The Pivot. I'm glad that Channing and Freddy T. had the experience on IAA I think it gave them great perspective and gained a ton of experience. Now The Pivot is my favorite show I tell everyone that will listen to me about this show. How every Tuesday these guys take me through every emotion possible, it's amazing. I'm Mexican American and trust me you guys are reaching beyond just y'alls race. This show is for the people and we thank you guys.

    What attracted me to the other show was Fred Taylor. My grandfather and I used to go to games and Fred was his favorite player. The show came off as Fred and Channing wanted something different and they brought a friend from the previous show along for the win. Period!!!! I’m a fan for as long as you guys would have us!!

    Been watching you guys since the first episode. I'm white, and I never considered this "just a black podcast." I already had respect for y'all for your achievements on the field. The thing that makes me a loyal follower (and sharer) of your show is exactly what y'all touched on. It's the realness. The vulnerability and the risk. It comes through so clearly that this is a work of passion and that this is really what y'all are like. I will always support y'all in everything you do.

You three are dropping gems every episodes, much needed keys to life. Your connection and synergy is divine. The three of you showcase the beauty of differences when all are confident, mature and self-aware. Thank you RC, Channing and Fred for the gift you have been to our community and culture. Shine on❤️

    It's important to understand that some people come along your journey in life to bring certain dormant gifts and talents out of you. Some also come along to introduce you to someone else you might need to know and more over to help you get to the next level. So although the situation went sour at IAA, BMarsh played a role, he did his part, and brought something out of these great men and now they can deliver and walk in purpose. We are human, it shouldn't have to get to sour before we move on, but otherwise they'd still be there being "employees" -comfortable! I didn't know I needed these three....love this show.
