Welcome to the first episode of "Daily Grind," our new podcast! We launched this podcast because we wanted to share our stories, adventures in parenting, behind-the-scenes NFL experiences, and more.
And the reason we started it now is because we, along with other family members, just launched a new coffee company, Dodo Coffee Co. (Check out more at dodocoffee.co!).
