💡 You’ll learn:
• Why 80% of former players live with daily pain and lose up to 10 years of health span
• How family legacy and race shape player health outcomes
• What the Football Players Health Study at Harvard is revealing about life after the game
• The real connection between body, brain, and belonging — and how change begins with awareness

🎙️ This isn’t about touchdowns. It’s about truth.

Whether you’re a fan, athlete, caregiver, or someone who simply loves the game, this conversation will make you rethink what football really costs — and what we can do about it.

Mushrooms may be the most underestimated force in healthcare. In this episode, Keith D. Terry explores how Mushnoom’s founders, Dr. Siva Gandhu and Dr. Renaldo Jarrell, are leading a mushroom revolution that could transform medicine, wellness, and the future of preventative health.

What if mushrooms could do more than sit on your plate? What if they could fight disease, sharpen your mind, and even change the future of healthcare?

In this episode of The NEXT BIG THING, Keith D. Terry sits down with Dr. Siva Gandu and Dr. Renaldo Jarrell, the physicians behind Mushnoom, a company on a mission to transform mushrooms from ancient folklore into modern, science-backed medicine.

Together, we explore:

• Why is preventative health often overlooked in traditional medicine?
• The compounds inside mushrooms (beta-glucans, triterpenes, ergothioneine, cordycepin) could support immunity, energy, and chronic disease management.
• The challenge of consumer education in a marketplace full of mushroom “hype.”
• Supply chain and sourcing challenges that impact product quality.
• Mushnoom’s bold vision for the future of integrative medicine and community impact.

This isn’t just about supplements. It’s about innovation, entrepreneurship, and the possibility that mushrooms could reshape the future of healthcare.

When most people think of wealth in America, they think tech startups, Wall Street, or real estate. Hardly anyone says manufacturing. But the truth? Manufacturing is still alive—and it remains one of the most powerful engines for building wealth, jobs, and community impact.

In this episode of The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D. Terry, I sit down with Terry Atwater, Owner and President of Enova Investments LLC, National Materials Transport LLC, and Enova Care, LLC. With over 25 years of experience at industry giants like General Electric, IDEX, and Berkshire Hathaway, Terry has worked alongside legendary leaders including Jack Welch and Warren Buffett. Today, he’s building companies that prove manufacturing is far from dead.

We dive into:

• How manufacturing ownership creates wealth, jobs, and legacies that last
• The impact of tariffs, reshoring, and U.S.–Mexico trade on American industry
• Why “it’s not the big that beat the small—it’s the fast that beat the slow”
• The role of AI, automation, and logistics in shaping the future of U.S. manufacturing
• How manufacturing businesses can transform entire communities by creating opportunity

Terry’s story is proof that ownership isn’t just about making money—it’s about building systems, shaping communities, and leading with vision.

If you’ve ever wondered whether American manufacturing still matters—or how you can play a role in its future—this is the episode you can’t miss.
