The LEGENDARY Troy Aikman - How he stays on TOP of his GAME
This interview was not what I expected it to be. Not at all!
I thought about it for days afterwards… constantly.
Troy Aikman is a man of tremendous depth, drive and vulnerability.
I knew I was going to chat it up with one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play and one of the best broadcasters of all time… But I had no idea how impressed and moved I would be.
Troy Aikman’s story of how he became a 3-time Super Bowl champion for the Dallas Cowboys and a member of the Hall of Fame, is an inspiring testament to his unparalleled work ethic. But his impact extends far beyond the football field. As a Fox Sports and Monday Night Football analyst, as well as a successful entrepreneur with his own beer brand, Troy brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.
He works so damn hard on himself to this day. His physical, emotional and spiritual well being is something he hungers to constantly improve.
We get deep at certain points in the conversation. Particularly about childhood and it’s impact on the rest of our lives.
During our discussion Troy shares invaluable insights on leadership, teamwork, and personal growth.
We really get into:
His daily routines and meditation
The essential qualities that make coaches truly great and the trait players seek in their mentors.
Overcoming criticism and adversity to rise to greatness.
Sustaining the hunger for greatness even after achieving monumental victories.
Exploring the power of cold plunges, red light therapy, meditation, and breath work.
Creating a harmonious home life and fostering meaningful family experiences.
AND you’ll get exclusive insights into a pivotal moment in Troy’s broadcasting career, when he was faced with a life-or-death situation on the field. This gripping story will leave you in awe of his resilience and the depth of his perspective.
Get ready for a high-impact episode that will elevate your understanding of leadership, excellence, and the pursuit of greatness.

As a Cowboys fan Troy Aikman was my first childhood hero and unlike many athletes who are boneheads off the field, he shows he is worthy of being a role model, not because he played a game at a high level but the person he is- the growth, vulnerability and self awareness in this interview is amazing to watch. Thanks for putting this together Ed
Excellent conversation. Much like Ed I wish it could go 3 hours. Being a Cowboy fan and Troy Aikman fan this gives raises admiration for him to a new level. Thank you Ed for this podcast

Digging deep...this is what I appreciate MOST about Ed's conversations with his guests. It's never the highlight reel that too many 'celebrity-type' interview are drowning in. Life the curtain, grab a shovel and dig until you hit 'REAL'. This is why I come back, week after week.
What a different podcast today. Thought it was going to be a boring football interview but turned out to be about the mind of one of the great ones. Truly applicable to so many things in my life and so many others. So awesome to get to know someone in a different light. Thank you as always

He was underated in t he sense he was not asked to do more coz Jimmy Johnson was more run oriented.

@@EdMylettShow I completely agree! I don't comment much on the internet but I really loved this episode. We need more shows like this that drill into the daily/monthly/yearly routines and progress over time of great people like Ed and Troy Aikman.
Man! Just one of the best podcasts episodes I have ever heard. Troy is such a dawg! Hopefully u guys have another episode and with more things to share, histories and accomplishments! Good Vibes from Brazil! And if u read the comment, just to u know, hard work pays off.
Great interview! So glad Coach Jimmy Johnson will finally be in the ring of honor! Thank for this episode!
Great questions and very organized and professional. These are questions that you rarely hear asked. Troy Aikman is a CLASS ACT and even though I do NOT like the cowboys he is in my opinion one of the best!
As a kid I used to have this guys rookie card, poster on my wall, and starting lineup toy, complete with the starter jacket. And I’m from Michigan, Lol. Never followed him as I got older. Thanks for the interview Ed.
The fact that your confidence not only comes from keeping promises you make to yourself, but from out working people (bend time) and being intense gives everyone the ability to achieve that level. You are who I aspire(over inspiration) to be!
Great podcast. Ed is right, it’s the wellness disciples I enjoyed hearing about the most
Troys the best. Love listening to him
Only 89 likes for my man Troy? C'mon folks!
Great interview! I always enjoyed watching Troy Aikman play. I remember him as not only accurate, but tough and gritty as well. Even more than that, I think he is an elite broadcaster and brings so much to helping fans understand the game.
When the team knows that the leader will perform consistently and at a high level day in and day out they also will rise toward that higher standard to create overall success. It is the same in business as it is in sports. Troy is a great one.
Just a awsome sit down very powerful thanks God bless
RISE AND GRIND FAMILY ❤ thank you ED for this amazing interview and I needed this just from the first Minute 😢
Both such intense yet warm and giving men 🙏 I follow your podcast here regularly. In fact my 9 year old son and I listen to it on our drive to school everyday. I am in awe of how passionate you are and how accurately you articulate and express your thoughts and feelings 👍🙏 Thank you Ed 🙏 1 Input - I know that you are a sport enthusiast. Sometimes though the conversation is a lot about just the sport which people like me who do not follow sports , esp not American sports as I live in Europe , are not able to relate to. Like the first ca 20 mins of this show. The insights from the ❤ to ❤ later were inspiring 👍
Great show today!! Your success in life depends on your commitment to not be outworked and your commitment to be the best!! #maxout #ONEMORE
"Most people are not willing to put in the work" - there's so much to be said about this, unfortunately, true statement. One thing is for sure for the ones who are willing.. learn to become deaf to the entitled and persist! 🚀
One of my all time favorite videos. Such great, authentic chemistry between you two. I love this. Two good men talking about real life. Thank you for this I enjoyed it a lot 🙏
yeah Ed good job man, you're killing it!
Troy is genuine that's why they followed him. He needs a show.
Ed, gem of a podcast. You asked great questions and got so much from this episode. I’ve shared this with many of my friends. Keep up the great work!
Thank you both for your time and knowledge 💯🤝
This was such a great episode. A lot of us can be successful like these gentlemen but many of us captive in our own minds and limitations. Ed, nothing short of excellence on your podcasts.
By fluke I seen something on IG about this interview, very glad I stumbled across it, a lot of wisdom! 👍
Your shows are always so inspiring and life-changing. The “Power of One More” is a must read for all my clients and I use so many of your quotes and content in my sessions. Thank you!
Best of all time on or off the field. 💪
Great interview with the great Troy. If you ever have him back on, get into why he retired.
So practical, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re into football or not!
This was a fantastic interview. I really enjoyed the section on meditation and breath work. Like you both, I run pretty hot and meditation has been a struggle.
Great conversation, thanks for sharing it with all of us. #MAXOUT
Really enjoyed and got a lot out of that, just bought the audiobook The Untethered Soul. Troy is a pretty impressive guy and I've been a fan for awhile even if I was never a Cowboys fan lol. I'm even more impressed with him since watching this interview and thought you did a great job asking some really thought provoking questions.
Ed dropping more 🔥🔥
REALLY ENJOYED THIS ED
Ed-was excited to see Troy on your show!! Great interview. Enjoy your gifted 8 🍻it’s delish. 😊
@Ed Mylett Fantastic interview Ed! I love this interview style that goes into the details of Troy's daily and weekly routine. Your questions and admiration comments were so good throughout the interview. The world needs more great humans like you (Ed) and Troy sharing their daily routines that make you such great human beings! You are two rock solid Men. - Thank you
@MAXOUT. This is a great discussion. Im intererested in learning more from you and Troy. Thank you.
Thank you!
Great interview. Coming from an E.A.G.L.E.S fan ⭐️🦅keep Dominating. #MAXOUT
I was a huge fan of Troy growing up in the 90's, but I've honestly been a bigger fan of the man he is post career as I have gotten older
Love Troy
Ok he’s #1 in Texas and around the world, that’s all that matters !!!! Gooo Troy💙
I really want to start meditating and taking these cold showers etc. Great show Eddy!
Inspiring information!
Awesome
An outstanding interview with one of the all time greats! Where did you get the water jugs?
#Respect
Troy is so Right 👍🏈👍
As a lifetime Redskins fan i cant believe im saying this but maan Troy is hard to dislike anymore !! 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice, in-depth interview. Troy remains one of my all-time favorite athletes and has found a great deal of success in various undertakings. I have found that meaning and fulfillment does take discipline, but a personal relation with the Lord Jesus Christ is the key to it all. I wish success to both Ed and Troy in their spiritual walk as well.
Troy is underrated in general as a QB 100%. Great QB and MNF is better 🤟👍
Incredible interview! I learned so much. Interesting to hear about red light therapy. Can you please recommend a reliable product.
Troy is amazing. ❤ didnt realize he was only 6 months older than me. 😊😅😂 hhhhmmmmm interesting. Im sure im not his type..... but.......MAN OH MAN. 😊 love this guy and wish him well always.
Your correct Troy is a Super Star Athlete while always appearing to Be A Gentlemen
Quarterback for AMERICA'S TEAM 🇺🇸
Not a football fan but I always found Troy very attractive
Just purchased the book let's see what it's all about.
I love how a modern day QB appreciates old time guy like Otto Graham who has 7 championships in 10 tries Just like Brady .
Quin Ewers ,Colt McCoy reminds me as far as accuarcy and non running qb's...
I want to meet Ed Mylett one day!
As I've said before the second best sb qb behind Joe cool,7-0.brady has 7-3=4.my 3rd is eli,clutch.WHAT DID THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON,TOUGH AS NAILS AND CAN TAKE HITS

One of a handful of quarterbacks with more athletic talent than Tom Brady. Imagine if Jerry jones stayed in his lane and let Jimmie Johnson coach the cowboys would have dominated the decade of the 90s.
Terry Bradshaw just like Troy doesn't have eye popping stats but could the Steelers have won w out him ? Nooo.

If that is your 1st thought after watching, you missed the point of the entire interview. Learning from others and their mistakes is the fastest and most effective method. This is not meant as a criticism but to help you think differently and achieve more. God Bless

Ed kept comparing himself to Troy throughout the conversation. Comes off as if he learned nothing.
This dude was a great QB dealing with a circus.
Phenomenal interview and vulnerability gentlemen. Thanks for this Ed and Troy. 🫡
Troy is always a class act. Thanks Ed for another great show.
