Widely known as one of the best defensive ends in the league, Strahan retired from the field in 2008, but that didn’t keep him from continuing his success through a new career path in entertainment. In “You Can’t Stop Him: Self-Motivation Fuels Michael Strahan,” he sits down with writer Jeff Vrabel to talk about his busy life after football: a new clothing line through JC Penney, a memoir and overcoming fears as an unprecedented host on Live with Kelly and Michael, as well as Good Morning America, FOX NFL Sunday and The$100,000 Pyramid.

“In football, you’ve got people who say you can’t do this, you can’t do that. In a lot of ways, it’s the same thing that drives me now. At a different time in my life, I might have said no (to the Live job), wouldn’t have even tried it because I was afraid to fail. I’m still afraid to fail, but now I’m not afraid to give it a go and see if it works, and everything I’ve tried has worked pretty well.” – Michael Strahan tells SUCCESS Magazine, May 2016 cover story.

Michael is a happy person in general. We could all stand to take a few lessons from him.
