Paul Assaiante built the most dominant dynasty in college sports history — 17 national titles and a record 252-match win streak at Trinity. Yet his advice to parents is refreshingly simple: let kids play everything, and keep it fun.

In this episode, ESF Co-Founder Michael Rouse sits down with the legendary coach and Run to the Roar author to unpack why early single-sport specialization backfires, how multi-sport play builds resilience, discipline, and a lasting love of the game, and what "running to the roar" really means when it comes to facing fear. Paul also shares the story behind his book, now headed to the big screen, and why, after all the trophies, staying in his players' lives is the real paycheck.

In this episode, ESF Co-Founder Michael Rouse and Dr. Muniya Khanna sit down with Lee Brower — speaker, author, entrepreneur, and family legacy expert known for his role in The Secret — to explore how gratitude shapes families, businesses, and generations.

Dr. Khanna adds a psychologist's take on why routines matter and how gratitude and grief can coexist. It's a moving reminder that gratitude isn't something that just happens, it's something you practice, especially when life gets hard.
