Carl Weathers
On January 30, 2024, we were honored to have a ringside seat into the multifaceted life of the legendary Carl Weathers. During our interview, Carl graciously shared insights into his NFL career, the challenges of breaking into Hollywood, immortalizing the iconic character of Apollo Creed in the Rocky franchise, and his full acting career.  But it wasn't just his illustrious career that captivated us; Carl also imparted invaluable wisdom, offering truly inspirational advice that struck a deep chord with us.  A heartfelt thanks to Carl for a conversation for the ages. #RIPCarl Thank you to FanDuel for connecting us to Carl.  MUSIC CREDITS: "Monumental Journey" is by Jesse Gallagher "Gospel Trail" purchased via PremiumBeat.com  Special thanks to Fred McGrip Mixed by Lenny Sterner Copyright © Drupelets Media LLC
