About us
The Grit Code Podcast is more than sports talk—it’s a movement built on resilience, discipline, and the pursuit of success. Hosted by former NFL All-Pro safety Donte Whitner alongside NFL legend Patrick Willis, the show dives deep into stories of grit from the worlds of football, business, entertainment, and culture.
Each episode blends raw personal experiences with powerful life lessons:
- Behind-the-scenes NFL stories and culture shifts in the game.
- Honest conversations about setbacks, comebacks, and the mindset required to win.
- Breakdowns of quotes, lyrics, and books that inspire resilience.
- Segments like “Free Game,” “Written in Scars,” and “Gritonomics” that connect motivation to real-world growth in wealth, health, and legacy.
The Grit Code isn’t just about football—it’s about decoding success in every arena of life. The podcast fuels the larger Grit Code brand, inspiring a community that wears the code through exclusive merch like the “Decoding the Game of Success” hoodie.
