My guest this week on the Shark Effect is Curtis Conway. Curtis was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the first round of the 1993 NFL Draft out of the University of Southern California. He also played for the San Diego Chargers (where we were teammates), New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers. Listen to us discuss how he survived the streets of South Central LA during the height of gang culture, gangster rap and the crack epidemic to become a street legend and future NFL star! We also discuss life after football and how his "team first mentality" has helped him and his family win in life.
