Plus: surviving cancer twice, what three divorces taught him, and being a Baptist who owns a bourbon company.

Terry Bradshaw is one of America's best-loved sports figures. As quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Hall of Famer led his team to four Super Bowl victories. Since retiring from football, Bradshaw has become a celebrated sportscaster, actor, and entrepreneur. "Pappy" Bradshaw and his wife Tammy live in Texas near daughters Rachel, Lacey, and Erin, and their families. His new book is Looking for Terry: A Memoir.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Why Terry spent years not knowing he had clinical depression
  • The day he broke down sobbing on the field mid-game
  • Why men resist asking for help, and what they do instead
  • How his wife naming his depression "Roy" makes it more manageable
  • His lifelong struggle to win his mother's approval
  • What three divorces taught him about himself and marriage
  • Squaring his Christian faith with owning a bourbon company
  • Surviving two cancers in one year
  • Loving life at 78
