Christian Ponder on NFL Lessons, Family, and Building a Life After Football

In this episode of The One Big Thing Podcast, I connect with former NFL quarterback Christian Ponder to talk about life beyond the game. Christian opens up about his journey from Florida State to the Minnesota Vikings, the insecurities he faced along the way, and how self-awareness and intentionality continue to shape his roles as a husband, father, and entrepreneur.

He shares lessons learned from playing under pressure, navigating expectations, and now leading The Post—a private network for former athletes turned business leaders. Together, Steve and Christian explore balancing family, marriage, and purpose in a world full of distractions, while embracing the hard work of personal growth.

This conversation is a reminder that success isn’t just about what you achieve—it’s about who you become.
