Season 2 of the AT Last Podcast kicks off with Part 1 of a powerful two-part conversation with Darryll Stinson, a former Division I football player whose life was forever changed by a career-ending back injury in college. The injury led him into a dark season where he attempted to end his life by suicide.

Now a two-time TEDx speaker, author, and advocate, Darryll shares his deeply personal story of pain, recovery, and rediscovery. He offers unique insight into how identity in athletics can become entangled with performance and challenges the idea that an athlete’s value is tied only to sport. Instead, he presents a vision of life rooted in purpose, identity, and meaning beyond the playing field.

This candid and emotional conversation sets the stage for Part 2, where Darryll dives even deeper into lessons on resilience, mental health, and redefining success.
