Kordell Stewart: Reclaiming My Story | Mick Unplugged

What happens when the world talks about you for years before hearing your side? Kordell Stewart joins Mick Hunt for a candid conversation about silence, faith, and reclaiming his own story.

The man known as “Slash” reflects on his path from receiver to starting quarterback, the personal cost of rumors, and why telling his story matters to the fans and young people who look up to him. Mick shares what Kordell’s example meant to his family, and Kordell closes with the priorities that have carried him: God, family, and career.

• Why silence can be misunderstood and how he chooses to respond today.
• His gratitude toward the fans who stood by him and the young people he coaches.
• The Unplugged Five: New Orleans food, choosing Colorado, competition, music, and faith.
