Description
We're excited to bring you this conversation with former NFL quarterback Jake Plummer and Pat Tillman Foundation CEO Dan Futrell.
After a ten year career in the NFL, Jake is on a mission to help people heal and find balance through functional mushrooms. He talks with Ashley and Lisa about UMBO, his functional mushroom supplement company and shares why he is so passionate about destigmatizing the use of mushrooms.
Jake also remains dedicated to honoring his friend and former Arizona State teammate, the late Pat Tillman. He and Dan Futrell, a former Ranger-qualified Infantry Officer and platoon leader who now leads the Pat Tillman Foundation, are committed to carrying on Pat's legacy. Dan details some of the critical work the Foundation is doing with their scholarship program, whose mission is to identify remarkable veterans and military spouses as the next generation of leaders and help them scale their impact as they enter their next chapter of service through academic scholarships, leadership development, and a global community of supporters.

Ep. 10: Solomon Thomas' Mom: As Suicide Awareness Month comes to a close, Your Mom™ shifts gears this week. Lisa and Ashley speak with a mom who is championing the fight for Suicide Prevention. Martha Thomas, mother of NFL defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, lost her daughter Ella to suicide in 2018. In this wide-ranging interview, Martha opens up about the bright light Ella brought to the world, the darkness of her mental healthy journey (26:00) and what she wants all of us to understand about suicide (47:11). Learn about the family's non-profit 'The Defensive Line' which aims to reduce the stigma of talking about mental health and in turn reduce the number of suicides among young people, especially those of color (52:33). There is something for everyone in this powerful interview. You'll laugh as you hear stories about how Lisa and Martha's friendship began at Stanford (4:06 ), and you'll be inspired by the way Martha channeled her grief and pain into a higher purpose, as she works by Your Mom™
