In the final episode of Season 1, Derek and co-founder & COO Michael Manuccia wrap up the story of Strivr’s first two years in business — this time with help from two of the company’s earliest employees who lived it day-in and day-out… Mike Colucci and Peter Murray.

From spending endless days on NFL practice fields to creating virtual reality content for the U.S. National Soccer and Ski teams, Mike and Peter share what it was like to be “boots on the ground” during Strivr’s scrappy, early days. Together, the group reflects on the realities of building something from nothing, the chaos that comes with growth, and why Strivr’s early hiring practices were… let’s just say, unconventional.

It’s a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the moments, lessons, and people that shaped Strivr from the very beginning.

Have you ever wondered what drives someone to make a wholesale career change — not once, but multiple times across a lifetime? In this episode, Derek sits down with Joe Moglia, whose journey from longtime collegiate football coach to Wall Street executive to football coach again is one of the most unconventional and inspirational “rags to riches” stories you’ll hear.

Joe passionately shares why pivoting between industries is not as crazy as it seems when you truly understand who you are, the skills you bring, and the capabilities required to succeed in any role — even roles as big as the ones he’s mastered throughout his remarkable life and career.

We’ve heard from some big-name NFL players this season — but what about everyone else who plays the game? What’s life really like for them, before, during, and after their time on the field?

In today’s episode, Derek sits down with one of his closest friends, Evan Moore, for a raw and reflective conversation.
