The Code To Winning

BYU and NFL standout Corbin Kaufusi joins the show for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it truly takes to succeed at the highest levels of sport—and what happens when the lights turn off.   Corbin opens up about his path to the NFL, the physical and emotional toll of injuries, and the unspoken reality many players face: addressing injuries honestly can quietly put you on a blacklist. Fans rarely see how devastating these setbacks are, or how one injury can change the entire trajectory of a career. Corbin speaks candidly about the pressure to stay silent, the fear of being labeled “injury-prone,” and the mental battles that come with it.   He shares what it was like switching teams, constantly proving himself as an underdog, and learning to adapt—both mentally and physically—to survive in a league where nothing is guaranteed. The conversation goes beyond football, diving into life after the NFL and his powerful transition into bodybuilding, redefining identity, purpose, and success beyond the game.
