AMDG: A Jesuit PodcastFrom NFL Lineman to MIT Math Professor with John UrschelHere’s a hypothetical scenario I’m sure many of us have faced in our lives: Imagine you were a football player good enough to make the NFL. Imagine you are also a mathematician good enough to get a doctorate from MIT. Which path would you choose?
OK, so maybe that’s not that common a discernment. But it was the decision our guest today faced: John Urschel first started playing football at Canisius High School, the Jesuit high school in Buffalo, New York. He got good pretty quickly, and he’s a big dude.
John ended up getting a scholars...2025-02-0551 min

Speaking of WritersChris Raymond-Men in White: The Gutsy, Against-All-Odds Return of Penn State FootballFor decades, Penn State football stood for greatness, on the field and off. Under legendary Coach Joe Paterno, the program was known for doing things the right way – or, as Paterno dubbed it, “success with honor.” But on Saturday, November 5, 2011, everything the team stood for came crashing down.
The horrific crimes of former assistant Jerry Sandusky are now well known, but what’s often overlooked is the heroism of the young men who rallied to raise Penn State football from the ashes – guys like Christian Hackenberg, John Urschel, Saquon Barkley, Carl Nassib, and Trace McSorley. Acclaimed writer Chris Raymond paints an...2024-11-1717 min

Finding True Wealth: Unconventional Lifestyle Choices of the Rich
In this episode, host Max Roeck examines the paradoxically frugal lifestyles of high net-worth individuals like Warren Buffet, John Urschel, and Quig Leonard. Despite their considerable wealth, they live far below their possessive means, finding value in things that money can't buy. The episode underscores the importance of aligning lifestyle with personal values rather than societal expectations of wealth. It concludes with a powerful message that freedom lies in minimizing desires and enjoying the journey, not...2024-01-2504 min
