Bryant McKinnie spent over a decade dominating the NFL, becoming a Super Bowl champion and Pro Bowler. But after the game, he discovered that true strength has nothing to do with size or speed—it’s about being vulnerable, telling your story, and creating safe spaces for others to share theirs.

Now, through his B Major Foundation and events like Cocktails and Conversations, Bryant is changing how men—especially athletes and men of color—approach mental health. He sits down with Joseph "JoJo" Simmons on The For Good Podcast to share his journey from the locker room to community leadership, and why trusted voices like his are critical for shifting the conversation.

In this episode, they talk about:

The hidden struggles athletes face after retiring from professional sports
Why the locker room was more than just a place to prepare for the game—it was a safe space for brotherhood and honesty
How to push past the “tough it out” mentality that keeps so many men silent
Why self-care is just as necessary as training your body, and how to start putting yourself first
The lessons losing teaches us that winning never could
