Learning the Intangibles: What Separates Good from Great with NFL Wide Receiver, Michael Strachan, Ep. 082

Growing up as a kid, something I was always reminded of was as you continue to grow and develop in whatever occupational field you may be pursuing, the tighter the skill gap gets. In simpler terms, as you continue to progress and rise to the top, when you look around everyone is going to look similar. They’ll be talented. They’ll have the abilities to get the job done, but there are only a select group of individuals who have what it takes to stand out in the midst of that elite group. What is it you may ask? THE INTANGIBLES… Our Built Different Guest today, Michael Strachan, knows a thing or two about what it takes to get to the next level and how to stand out when an opportunity arises. Ever since Mike was a kid growing up in the Bahamas, one dream has been on his mind - playing in the NFL. But to achieve this goal, he would have to endure several obstacles and make plenty of sacrifices to get there. From dropping everything to move to Virginia to play competitive high school football, to signing with and grinding at a smaller NCAA Division 2 University, to getting drafted in the 7th round by the Indianapolis Colts, to then standing out and having an unbelievable preseason last year, there was always something different about Mike and his mission. Yes, he was talented, but there’s always been something lying underneath the surface of all that talent. Today, Mike not only shares his testimony and journey with us, but he also discusses the intangibles that have helped him achieve his goal of getting to the NFL and have now propelled his goals higher to becoming an impact player in the NFL.
