In this episode, I speak with Social Media Producer and On-Air Talent for FS1’s daily Speak For Yourself show, Darnell Smith. We talk about the journey of his career, what his typical working day looks like, what it’s like working with Emmanuel Acho, Marcellus Wiley and the fantastic energy of the team at SFY. We speak about some of the best moments so far, including the day he was offered a segment on-air (and the time Lil Tunechi gave him a shout out), how much football means to Darnell, what it has taught him and the joy that has come with it. We also discuss about the upcoming season, including the excitement of seeing Cam Newton play in New England, the HUGE Patrick Mahomes contract, the future of Aaron Rodgers and the potential return of Antonio Brown. We also reflect on the sincerity of the NFL when it comes to making a long-term culture change and why it’s so important for that to happen.
