I often think about what I want my sons to fully comprehend in regards to how sport industry unfairly operates.

I've established a company - The Edward George Wealth Management Group - which facilitates in helping players maintain their finances, and more importantly, maintain their lives during the duration of their careers and beyond.

I can do crunches all day long, but in yoga my core was challenged in a way that I never felt before.

That mental grind is the same, and this show has to be approached with the same mentality. Rest is paramount. Taking care of my voice and making sure I have the right foods in my body is paramount. Making sure I'm doing my technique work and staying in the script is all substantial. Continually pushing myself to find different nuances in the character on a nightly basis. This is definitely boot camp for me all over again, and Broadway in general is a boot camp for all actors.

I've seen young men in college going into the NFL and then bite the cheese that's in the trap. They'll throw you a pair of Jordans or a moneybag for their services. It's in that moment where most compromise. This business is unforgivable, and you got a bunch of sharks out there. It's mind boggling that universities don't prepare athletes for what they're going to experience.

I work under three umbrellas: entertainment, education, and entrepreneurship. Of course the entertainment fragment speaks for itself because I'm in Chicago. However, a lot of folks may not know I teach courses at Ohio State University that covers life in professional sports.

Every word that I say, every song that I sing, and literally every move that I make [ in Chicaho musical] has much purpose.
