Todd Marinovich: The Superstar Quarterback Who Lost Himself In Drugs & Found Himself In Love

Description:

Todd Marinovich is a former NFL quarterback, USC Rose Bowl champion, and the subject of the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary "The Marinovich Project."

This conversation explores the duality of engineered perfection and performance-based love. We discuss his father's authoritarian methods, the identity crisis of living someone else's dream, his harrowing addiction, the moment his father's approval paradoxically ended his motivation, and his journey toward self-compassion through art and recovery.

Through it all, Todd elucidates what it means to reclaim your humanity after decades of self-defiance.

Todd's story is raw and achingly human. And his message is clear—hope is a decision. Enjoy!
