EP097 - Kerry Rock, US Army Veteran, Team RWB Charlottesville & Chris Long, Servant, Super Bowl Champion

Kerry Rock is an Army veteran and Team RWB member.  Chris Long is a NFL veteran and two-time Super Bowl champion.  They couldn’t be any different in stature or background, but they’re making a difference in both their local community of Charlottesville, VA and on the other side of the world in east Africa.  Having recently #ConqueredKili, we sit down with Kerry and Chris for a casual conversation covering everything from sports to community service. This is definitely an hour well-spent...enjoy the conversation!

 

In this episode we discuss:

• Starting a Team RWB Chapter, the challenges and the rewards
• Training for a NFL season, a 10-miler, and climbing a big mountain
• Service...taking action and giving of your most precious resource (time) to make a difference
• Delivering impact at the community level, whether that be at home or halfway across the world
• The perspective provided by poverty and summiting Mount Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft)
• The next tattoo
