“Daddy, I’m Hungry”: The Night an NFL Player Hit Rock Bottom

“Daddy, I’m Hungry”: The Night an NFL Player Hit Rock Bottom Mkristo “MK” Bruce made it to the NFL — and still found himself broke on the side of the road, out of gas, walking home to a son who was hungry. In this episode of Be There, he takes us into the night that became his compass and the vow that built everything after it: a thriving mortgage business, a plane he flies himself, and a son now in flight school. We talk about being forged twice — once on a field, once on the side of a road — the people who carried him, and the question he still wrestles with: when is enough, enough?
