Emmanuel Acho, former NFL linebacker and creator of "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man," is so full of encouragement in this conversation with Sadie about how to say "YES" to a life of infinite possibility. Emmanuel talks about the problem with conventional wisdom, how to push past moments that feel like failure, what to do when advice and logic interfere with your calling, and how he started his series and connected with Oprah and Matthew McConaughey. He also urges you not to let the enemy steal your "it" factor. Instead, find your thing, develop your thing, and use your thing! Friends, embrace those "I might be crazy" ideas — falling doesn't mean failing, and if you stumble and get back up, you win! "Illogical: Saying Yes to a Life Without Limits" by Emmanuel Acho is available now. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
