In episode 68 of Men Pursuing More Podcast, host Roger Maupin sits down with Robbie Shaw for a raw and powerful conversation about identity, addiction, and redemption. From growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina, to becoming a standout high school basketball player and earning the opportunity to play for the Tar Heels at UNC under legendary Coach Dean Smith, Robbie experienced early success on a big stage. But after transitioning out of basketball and moving to New York City, alcohol and addiction began to quietly take control.

In Episode 67 of Men Pursuing More, Roger Maupin welcomes former SMU offensive tackle and former Cleveland Browns player Sterling Harris for an honest and powerful conversation about identity, faith, leadership, and life after football. Sterling reflects on the athletes who inspired him growing up, the defining moments from his four years at SMU, and what it meant to reach the NFL as a right tackle battling daily mental and physical challenges. But when a foot injury ended his professional career early, he faced the deeper battle many men encounter — losing the identity they built around performance. Sterling opens up about being counted out early in life, starting a business in high school, navigating difficult real estate partnerships that cost him deeply, and wrestling with a calling to ministry before ultimately choosing to serve as “salt and light” in the marketplace. Through his relationship with Jesus, Sterling found the strength to rebuild, reinvent, and lead through Sterling Harris Ministries, spiritual mentorship, and his logistics tracking business. This episode speaks directly to men pursuing purpose, rebuilding after setbacks, and navigating major transitions — reminding them that who they are is bigger than what they do, and that sometimes the greatest growth comes after the game is over.  Who am I when the game is gone?
