I am extra excited about this conversation as a lifelong Colorado athlete! Today we welcome hometown hero, Jake Plummer, to the T&T mic. Jake is a football great, as second-round pick in 1997 he then spent 10 years in the NFL playing for the Arizona Cardinals and then the here, with our Denver Broncos. In addition to being an athlete, Jake is a family man, businessman, and passionate about living on purpose and helping people however he can. Jake shares the journey thus far with success and failures as well as new ventures he is deeply passionate about and currently launching from Colorado. Jake owns a mushroom farm, Mycolove Farm, and is the Co- Founder (with Rashad Evans and Del Jolly) of Get Umbo, a thriving functional mushroom company, making big moves in the athletic and lifestyle spaces, “We believe that functional mushrooms are an untapped and powerful force for good”. This is an awesome conversation of purpose with a balance of science, intuition, and positive energy. Enjoy!

Highlights:

Playing collegiate and professional football. Physical, mental, and brain health. Changes in the health and fitness industry over the years. Power to the people and asking questions. Life lessons through sports. Predictions on the Broncos future. Playing for the team. Science, intuition, and the balance in between. Living on purpose and serving a mission larger than yourself.

Drawn to natural medicine, he is eager to learn how mushrooms can help us individually, and our collective power can make a better world.

Meet Umbo:

Umbo was founded by two former professional athletes, each of whom spent long and successful careers that were filled with fierce combat and other-worldly levels of stress. We believe that functional mushrooms are an untapped and powerful force for good. Our food and supplements were created and tested by our founders (and their close circle of trainers, nutritionists, and other elite pro athletes), to give athletes of all levels an edge on performance and recovery.
