CCU football player, former NFL player and current successful business owner, Maurice Simpkins, talks about his journey in Part 1 of this interview.
This is a truly inspiring individual - he talks about humble beginnings, playing football in college, making it to the NFL and how his college degree prepared him for success.
Maurice had so many inspirations along the way and now inspires others.
There are so many great parts here from grave digging with his grandfather from a young age and learning the hard work mentality; then having a mentor give him a laptop to continue his career as he chased his football playing dreams; and we even get to hear about him meeting one of his favorite players, NFL great Kevin Greene when he got his first NFL opportunity.
