About this episode
In this episode, host Marcelo sits down with Eddie Barch and Ricky Chilson, lifelong friends whose journey from Mayfield High School teammates to Baldwin Wallace football players is built on brotherhood, discipline, and consistency.Long before college football, their story began in the same childhood friend group, competing in sports, pushing each other in workouts, and building a bond through years of shared experiences. At Mayfield, both became known for their work ethic and leadership—with Eddie earning Defensive MVP and All-Conference honors, and Ricky standing out as a multi-sport athlete and Western Reserve Conference Scholar-Athlete.Their commitment carried them to Baldwin Wallace, where they continued competing while preparing for life beyond the game. Today, their paths are evolving: Eddie is stepping into entrepreneurship, developing his mobile game Meta Control, while Ricky serves his community in law enforcement.In this conversation, they reflect on friendship, football, discipline, and the unseen work that shaped who they are today.A reminder that the people who grow with you and the habits you build in silence often define the path ahead.Podcast Sponsors:Pins & Aces – Golf apparel & accessories21% OFF | Code LIONSCOVE https://pinsandaces.com/discount/LIONSCOVESavorista Coffee – Decaf & half-caf coffee 25% OFF | Code LIONSCOVE https://savorista.com/discount/LIONSCOVETORRAIN – Travel & adventure gear 15% OFF | Code LIONSCOVE https://torrain.org/discount/LIONSCOVEHyperNatural – Men’s premium polo shirts 20% OFF | Code LIONSCOVE https://hypernaturalstyle.com/discount/LIONSCOVEQuantum Energy Squares – Caffeine + protein energy bars 25% OFF | Code LIONSCOVE https://quantumsquares.com/discount/LIONSCOVEYou can also support the show directly by donating at buymeacoffee.com/ftlc.Purchases made with this code help support the podcast through a small commission.
