Donald Schuler Jr. was given a choice in high school: play football which could potentially earn him an athletic scholarship and a shot at the NFL...or, stick to drama, dancing, singing and acting.
To the chagrin of his football coach, Donald chose to do both.
Despite being held back from getting a chance to play, he earned a partial scholarship, and appeared in the musical The Color Purple. Today you may recognize him from the QVC Network as the NFL's Guest Host.
Donald and Brad have an honest conversation about living an exceptional life, upgrading the image of The Black American Male in Hollywood and television, along with their most favorite controversial Black comedians...like Dick Gregory and Katt Williams, and his brother's performance on The Voice.
This is a fun episode that will make you think...
