Welcome to the second episode of "Daily Grind," Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp's new podcast with his wife, Anna. The dynamic duo launched launched this podcast because they wanted to share their stories, adventures in parenting, behind-the-scenes NFL experiences, and more.
In this episode, Cooper and Anna go deep on work-life boundaries, what a bad day at the office (when you're an NFL player) looks like at home, bouncing back from early career failure, and the real and raw communication that helped their relationship.
