BITCHING PROHIBITED
Podcast with Green Beret & NFL Player Nate Boyer
Nate Boyer has never been one to wait for others to do work that he’s capable of doing now. Upon reading a magazine article about the tragedies happening in Darfur, at 23 years old, Boyer bought a plane ticket to the region and talked his way into helping out with the relief efforts in that area. A short time later, Boyer learned about the suffering that was happening in Fallujah, and read about how American Special Forces were working with indigenous forces there to help calm the tumult. He immediately decided that was a way that he could help on an international level with even greater significance.
A year and a half after that Boyer was a Green Beret performing the exact work that he had read about, engaging with local communities to help keep people safe and get them the help and supplies they needed.
While serving his country, Boyer got the idea that he’d like to pursue his life-long dream of playing football, and returned to the US as a walk-on at The University of Texas, earning a spot as a defensive back, and then a long snapper on the team. Upon graduating, Boyer concluded that he wouldn’t be content until he pursued the possibility of playing football in the NFL, and wound up getting drafted by the Seattle Seahawks as a long snapper.
While Boyer’s time in the NFL was relatively short lived, he’s now making an even bigger impact through his work supporting important causes like care for wounded veterans with The Adaptive Training Foundation, as well as providing clean water to impoverished communities though his work with The Chris Long Foundation. Boyer recognizes the incredible opportunities and freedoms that we possess as Americans to do good in this country and around the world, that’s why he wastes no time working to ensure that he does all that he can to provide support and care to those who need it.
It was a sincere privilege for the LALO Team to be able to sit down and chat with Boyer about what motivates him to give so much of his time and energy to these causes. We hope that you enjoy hearing all about it.
