Beskrivelse

This Super Bowl matchup feels random — but it’s not. In this episode of Good Call, Mackenzie dives deep into the Seahawks vs. Patriots Super Bowl and explains why this game actually makes perfect sense once you look past preseason expectations and surface-level narratives. She breaks down Sam Darnold’s journey to this moment, Drake Maye’s rapid rise in New England, and why both teams’ identities — not just talent — are what carried them here. Along the way, Mackenzie shares how covering and attending Super Bowls has completely changed the way she watches the game, plus what fans don’t realize about the chaos and pressure of football’s biggest stage. The episode also looks back at the biggest disappointments of the season, what they reveal about how fragile success can be in the NFL, and why patience, discipline, and composure matter more than highlight plays in February. Thoughtful, honest, and football-first — this is Good Call. EVERY GREAT STORY STARTS WITH A GOOD CALL. New episodes of Good Call with Mackenzie Salmon every week.

Rashaad Slowley on Discipline, Hybrid Fitness & Building Do More

Rashaad Slowley (@shaadiefit) went from playing football at the highest level — Giants camp, the CFL, the whole thing — to building Do More Fitness from the ground up over the last 9 years. He's trained 60+ NFL athletes, became a Lululemon ambassador, started a run club, and now coaches everyone from pro athletes to entire families out in South Florida. In this episode we talk about what it was like walking away from football, the real side of running a fitness business, how HYROX and running changed his approach to training, what actually separates people who get results from people who don't, being a dad and leading by example, and what "Do More" really means to him at this point in his life. We get into: * His transition from football to fitness and how fast he moved on * Building Do More Fitness over the last 9 years — the highs, the lows, and the pivots * Why he walked away from training pro athletes to train families * Hybrid training, running, and what HYROX taught him * Discipline vs. motivation and the habits that keep him going * Fitness and mental health * Fatherhood, community, and leading by example * The biggest mistakes people make in the gym EVERY GREAT STORY STARTS WITH A GOOD CALL.

Who Are You Becoming While You Chase Your Goals?

Chasing goals can shape your future, but it is also shaping who you are becoming along the way. In this solo episode of Good Call, Mackenzie reflects on the deeper question that often gets overlooked when we talk about ambition and success: while you pursue your goals, what kind of person is the process turning you into? Mackenzie shares personal stories from the early days of her career working as a sports videographer in Mississippi, where long hours, constant travel, and working behind the scenes taught her the discipline required to pursue bigger opportunities. She also opens up about a season where the desire for attention and recognition led her toward compromises that did not align with the person she wanted to become, and how her faith ultimately reshaped her perspective on purpose, integrity, and respect. Through lessons from her career, reflections on the hidden work behind interviews and preparation, and insights grounded in Scripture, this episode explores why the process of pursuing something meaningful often matters just as much as the goal itself. Mackenzie also challenges listeners to evaluate whether their ambitions are building character, strengthening their faith, and leading them toward the kind of person they are proud to become. If you are in a season where you are working hard toward something but wondering if the journey is worth it, this conversation is a reminder that God often uses the process to prepare you for what comes next. Scripture referenced in this episode: Galatians 6:9 Romans 12:2 James 1:2–4
