Once it was official we'd be in Austin for All-Star Week, we had to hit up the homies – we hit up friends of the show Miles Robinson, Maurice Edu, and Gyasi Zardes to catch up and get all the real talk.

We get into:

• Being a professional footballer is just a job
• Living up to expectations from family
• Being a leader on and off the pitch
• Staying away from the noise
• Transitioning from the pitch to the media space
• Dealing with career injuries
• How to handle being traded and life impacts
• Leaning on support system
• Thinking about legacy
