Description

In this episode of Deep Ish, Jake sits down with AJ Thomas, the founder of NAPD, a Nashville-based clothing brand, but his journey started far from entrepreneurship. From growing up in a small Illinois town to playing college football, AJ thought the path was clear — until life forced him to pivot.

In this episode, we talk about identity after sports, the power of relationships, taking risks, and how a few unexpected moments in Nashville helped shape his entire career.

We also dive into faith, family, and why the people you meet along the way might matter more than the plan you started with.
