Yung Pueblo New York times Best Selling author shares journey from addiction to hitting rock bottom to unlikely bond with Tom Brady and opens up on The Year that Changed Everything.
“You are never going to be able to perfectly place all the pieces on the chess board in a way they always feel pristine.” Yung Pueblo From Rock Bottom to Inner Peace: Yung Pueblo’s Journey of Transformation... What happens when the life you’ve built on the outside can no longer hide the pain you’re carrying on the inside? On this powerful episode of The Pivot Podcast, bestselling author and poet Yung Pueblo joins Ryan, Channing, and Fred to share the deeply personal journey that changed his life—from growing up in an immigrant family and navigating the weight of identity and expectation to battling addiction, hitting rock bottom, and finding a path toward healing that would ultimately transform his purpose. Before his words inspired millions around the world, Yung Pueblo was a man searching for relief, struggling with the patterns and pain he didn’t yet know how to confront. His turning point forced him to look inward, face himself honestly, and discover that real change doesn’t come from running away from your past, but from doing the hard work of healing it. Now, through meditation, self-reflection, and radical personal growth, he has become one of the most influential voices on emotional healing, self-awareness, and letting go. But behind the bestselling books and the words that have resonated with millions is a story of struggle, surrender, and the courage to begin again. On The Pivot, Yung Pueblo opens up about the moments that nearly broke him, the lessons that helped him rebuild, and how his darkest chapters became the foundation for his greatest purpose. This conversation is about more than addiction or success. It’s about breaking generational cycles, confronting the parts of ourselves we’d rather avoid, and understanding that sometimes hitting rock bottom is what finally forces us to change direction. Because the pivot isn’t always about becoming someone new. Sometimes, it’s about finally becoming who you were meant to be. This is Yung Pueblo’s story of pain, healing, and finding purpose on the other side of rock bottom. Definitely worth checking out entire video episode on Netflix now.

Monica McNutt Emmy Winning Analyst tells all: from being let go and almost giving up to the First Take controversy, current relationship with Stephen A Smith, WNBA truths, double standards and her meteoric rise making history with the Knicks
Emmy Award-winning analyst Monica McNutt joins The Pivot Podcast for a powerful, unfiltered conversation about the setbacks, sacrifices, and defining moments that shaped her journey from Georgetown basketball player to one of the most recognizable voices in sports media. Before the national spotlight, there was life after basketball, trying to figure out what came next, navigating the working world, getting laid off, and moving back home with her parents. Monica opens up about what it really looks like when the plan doesn't go as expected, the humbling moments behind the success, and the resilience it takes to bet on yourself when the future is uncertain. She takes us behind the scenes of her rise in sports media, including her unforgettable appearance on First Take and the heated exchange that helped catapult her career into a new stratosphere. But was that moment a turning point, or simply the moment the world finally caught up to the work she had already been putting in? From covering the WNBA and earning respect in a male-dominated industry to calling a championship moment for the New York Knicks, Monica reflects on what it means to break barriers, command a room, and use her voice without asking for permission. She also gets real about being outspoken, facing criticism, navigating double standards, and why she refuses to shrink herself to make other people comfortable. This is bigger than basketball. It's a conversation about identity, rejection, family, confidence, and finding your purpose when life forces you to take a different route. Monica's story is a reminder that sometimes the moments that feel like setbacks are the very things that position you for your breakthrough. Don't miss this conversation as Ryan, Channing, and Fred sit down with Monica McNutt to talk about the journey behind the accolades, the truth behind the headlines, and what it takes to turn adversity into opportunity.

Marques Colston the Super Bowl Champion who played for respect over fame, reveals secret to playing with Drew Brees, Sean Payton's spot on vision, breaks down failure, gets real about loss, fatherhood and life after the NFL
“Drew is one of those people, he has such a mastery of the game, that you have to figure out how to see the game through his eyes to earn his trust.”Marques Colston On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, Marques Colston joins the conversation to reflect on a remarkable journey built on perseverance, discipline, brotherhood, and purpose. From being a seventh-round draft pick out of Hofstra to becoming a New Orleans Saints legend, Colston shares the story behind a career that earned the respect of teammates, coaches, and football fans everywhere. The conversation goes beyond the numbers, exploring the personal loss that helped shape the man behind the jersey. Losing his father at just 14 years old changed his life forever, and the lessons, memories, and influence he carried forward became part of his foundation as both a player and a man. Colston also reflects on playing alongside Drew Brees, whose vision, preparation, and leadership helped elevate the Saints' offense, and working under Sean Payton, whose offensive creativity and competitive mindset helped transform New Orleans into a championship team. Together, they built something special — culminating in a Super Bowl XLIV victory that forever changed the franchise's history. Despite never receiving the household recognition often associated with the NFL's biggest stars, Colston's production, consistency, and reliability established him as one of the defining receivers of his era. His story is a reminder that greatness isn't always about the spotlight — sometimes it's about showing up, doing the work, and earning the trust of everyone around you. But the conversation doesn't end with football. Colston opens up about fatherhood, the importance of being present for his family, and the challenges of transitioning into life after the NFL. After spending years competing at the highest level, he shares what it means to build a new identity, pursue opportunities beyond the game, and find purpose in the next chapter. From losing his father as a teenager to becoming a Super Bowl champion and building a life beyond the field, Marques Colston's story is about more than football. It's about resilience, legacy, and understanding that the greatest victories often happen away from the stadium. Truly a special conversation and full video episode is streaming on Netflix now.

John Legend Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winner on new music with Pharrell, staying true to himself, estranged relationship with Kanye West, bond with wife Chrissy Tiegen, overcoming loss in public, fatherhood and the cost of staying true to yourself
“I think all of us have to be humble to a certain point, it doesn’t mean don’t believe in yourself and don’t believe in your ideas but also have some humility.” John Legend On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, John Legend opens up to Ryan, Channing and Fred about the journey that shaped him — from his rise in music and the power of staying true to himself to navigating fame, family, friendship, and loss in the public eye. One of a small group who is an EGOT, winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, John Legend has had decades of success but is still chasing something new in every piece of music he records. John gets personal about life with his wife, Chrissy Teigen, and their children, sharing how fatherhood has changed him and how he and his family have navigated the heartbreaking loss of a child. He commends his wife for being courageous enough to share publicly so others learn from her during the darkest hours and how people around the world are better for it. He reflects on his relationship with Kanye West, and how it was extremely sad yet discouraging the entire process was to watch someone he was once close with use his platform for hate and fear. Things in music, media and business may be forever changing but John stands firm in the importance of speaking up for what he believes in, and what it means to stand true in your values and be authentic. He also takes us inside his creative journey, reflecting on working with Pharrell Williams, the collaborations that have shaped his sound, and the inspiration behind his new music and upcoming album. From evolving as an artist to protecting culture and using his platform for something bigger than himself, John shares why authenticity matters now more than ever. In an industry that often rewards conformity, John explains why being yourself is the most powerful statement you can make. It's an honest conversation about love, legacy, resilience, and the courage to keep evolving without losing who you are — and why, no matter how much life changes, staying true to yourself will always be the ultimate pivot.

He opens up about what it means to cover a game for a lifetime, the responsibility of telling stories honestly, and the tension between the sport's incredible growth and the challenges it continues to face. As always on The Pivot, the conversation goes deeper than football. It's about relationships, legacy, curiosity, and the people who shape our lives along the way.

"I love my fans, I don’t love music or the industry but I do it to provide for my kids.” BigXthaPlug In his first exclusive sit-down ahead of his highly anticipated new album, BigXthaPlug joins The Pivot Podcast for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the man behind the music — and the battles that success can’t silence.

He reflects on the responsibilities of being a dad, the sacrifices he makes for his children, and why, despite his frustrations with the music industry, he continues to show up and do what he does for them. But beyond the fame, the hits, and the success, there’s another side of BigXthaPlug that few get to see. He gets candid about struggling with unhappiness and loneliness, searching for peace in the middle of the chaos, and finding comfort in the small moments that make life feel a little lighter. He also shares why therapy isn’t for him and what it looks like to navigate his emotions on his own terms. With the vulnerability and honesty that define The Pivot, this conversation goes beyond the artist to explore the father, the son, and the man still figuring it all out. And for the football fans, BigXthaPlug lets his Texans pride show, proving that even with everything on his plate, he’s still repping Houston.

Pablo Torre finds out everything, from losing ESPN the day his daughter was born to betting on himself to winning a Pulitzer, exposing Steve Ballmer, Life Surge, Tim Tebow, Bill Belichick and taking on sports’ most powerful.
“I will go to prison before I reveal who my sources are.” Pablo Torre On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, Pablo Torre joins Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor for a wide-ranging conversation about the journey that took him from Harvard, to ESPN, to building a show of his own—and becoming one of the most fearless investigative voices in sports media. Pablo opens up about the highs and lows of his career, including the surreal experience of losing his ESPN show on the very same day his daughter was born. Rather than allowing that moment to define him, he turned it into fuel, creating Pablo Torre Finds Out and betting on himself at a time when there were plenty of reasons to doubt what came next. That gamble paid off. Pablo discusses the recognition his work has received, including a Pulitzer Prize, and the responsibility that comes with investigative reporting when your stories involve some of the biggest names, most powerful organizations and richest owners in sports. He takes us inside his reporting on Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, the questions that surrounded the franchise, and what it feels like to pursue a story when you know the people you're investigating have vastly more resources and power than you do. He also opens up about his fascination with Bill Belichick, the psychology behind reporting on larger-than-life sports figures, and why the deeper you get into investigative journalism, the more you understand the personal risks that come with challenging powerful people. From his investigation into Life Surge and its connection to Tim Tebow, Pablo discusses his reporting, the questions his investigation raised, Tebow's response—along with the growing pressure that comes with shining a light on powerful figures who are often not the ones used to being scrutinized. At its core, this is a conversation about resilience, curiosity and courage—about losing a platform, creating your own, and continuing to ask difficult questions even when you know the answers could come with a price. Because in sports, the scoreboard tells you who won the game. Investigative journalists like Pablo Torre are often asking a different question: Pablo shares how he never imagined his work would lead to such strides nationally and become a force that is not only award-winning work, but public service, holding even those most powerful accountable.

Bart Scott former NFL All Pro, Detroit upbringing shaped him, parenting, disliking Nick Saban, the Coach who saved his career, getting fired, standing on business and why speaking his mind comes at a cost
"You either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Bart Scott Former NFL linebacker and outspoken media personality Bart Scott joins Ryan, Fred and Channing for an unfiltered conversation about the journey that shaped him — from growing up in Detroit, nearly having his college football career derailed, to becoming one of the most feared defensive players in Baltimore and New York. Bart takes us back to his college days and the pivotal moment when a coach who didn’t believe in him nearly changed the trajectory of his career — and the coach who stepped in, believed in him and helped save his football journey. That turning point became part of the foundation for the mindset that would eventually carry him to the NFL. From Baltimore to the New York Jets, Bart built a reputation as a physical, intimidating defender who played with an edge and brought that same intensity to everything he did. He reflects on his NFL journey, the battles, the personalities and the experiences that shaped him both on and off the field. Now, Bart is known just as much for his voice as he was for his play. He opens up about being unapologetically outspoken, the moments when speaking his mind came with consequences, and what it meant to get fired while refusing to compromise who he is. The conversation goes deeper into what it means to stand on business — knowing when to speak up, when to take accountability and when to bet on yourself even when the decision comes with a cost. Bart also shares his perspective on the rapidly changing media landscape, the evolution of sports talk, authenticity in an era of viral clips and social media, and what it takes to remain yourself while navigating an industry that continues to change. From Detroit to college football, from Baltimore and the Jets to the media world, Bart Scott has never been afraid to be himself. This is a conversation about football, resilience, authenticity, adversity, standing on your principles and having the courage to bet on yourself. Full episode streaming on Netflix now.
