This week we sit down with Ronald Ollie — former Last Chance U standout, athlete turned podcast host, and a voice for being real in a world full of filters.

From JUCO star to Nicholls State powerhouse, Ollie opens up about the highs, the lows, and what it means to truly be misunderstood in pursuit of greatness. In this raw and real conversation, he shares how his journey on Last Chance U shaped his mindset, why being authentic matters more than ever, and how he’s navigating life after football.

We dive into the creation of his podcast, Let’s Talk About It, how he’s redefining himself beyond the game, and what happiness and purpose look like now. Ronald also gives advice to young athletes headed down the JUCO path, talks about identity, and the importance of staying true to yourself—no matter how people label you.
