Eben Britton is a former NFL offensive lineman, a second round pick who played six seasons for the Jaguars and Bears, turned author, yoga teacher, and coach who guides people through meditation, breathwork, and transformational work.
Eben Britton spent his whole life chasing "there", an NFL dream he brought to life, and left at 27 with a shattered body and no idea who he was. In this conversation, we explore the value in "being here" rather than "getting there", the moment with his father that kept his dream alive, the day in the film room when he knew he was done, the descent into rock bottom, the Friday morning meeting that changed the direction of his life, and why he stopped trying to bury the warrior in himself. The dream was never the destination. It was who he became along the way.
