Today on Perspectives, we’re joined by someone whose story continues to inspire people across Georgia and far beyond. Mohamed Massaquoi first made his mark at the University of Georgia, where he became a team captain, a first-team All-SEC wide receiver, and one of the most respected leaders in the Bulldog program. He went on to play in the NFL — but his most powerful work has come after football. In 2017, a near-fatal ATV accident resulted in the amputation of his left hand, an experience that could have defined him. Instead, it transformed him. Mo reimagined his identity, expanded his purpose, and today he’s an organizational psychologist and founder of VESSOL, guiding leaders and teams through disruption, reinvention, and cultural change. And now, he’s amplifying those conversations through his brand-new Atlanta-based podcast, Same Game, Different Turf. Recorded right here in the city, Mo sits down with some of Atlanta’s most inspiring voices to explore how high performers navigate life’s biggest transitions and come out stronger.
His journey is about resilience, clarity, and the courage to rewrite your story.
