Something Like the Offseason

Today’s guest on Something Like the Offseason is Darrion Weems. Darrion was a standout offensive linemen at Oregon and in the NFL who decided to leave the game while still arguably at the height of his abilities (a decision we cover in the pod). He’s now an entrepreneur and creative, working in real estate, selling scripts in Hollywood, acquiring companies, and a whole bunch more. A former teammate of Micah’s, Darrion is a modern day renaissance man and was an insightful and hilarious guest that you’ll love getting to listen to.

During their conversation Micah has Darrion answer his big four questions, before diving into Darrion’s choice to stop playing football while still in his prime, how he found what was next, learning to think in the long term, creating new patterns and processes, and much more.
