The Lou Holtz Show with Mark May | S2E15

Coach Lou Holtz sits down with two-time Super Bowl champion and college football legend Mark May for an honest and wide-ranging conversation on resilience, leadership, and the core values that define a meaningful life. From growing up in a working-class, single-parent household in upstate New York to rising through the ranks of college and pro football, Mark recounts the people and principles that shaped his journey.

Listeners will hear behind-the-scenes stories from Mark’s playing days at the University of Pittsburgh—where he protected future Hall of Famer Dan Marino—and his NFL career with Washington, where he became a key part of the legendary “Hogs” offensive line. Mark opens up about injury setbacks, his move into sports broadcasting, and how his charity efforts continue to make a difference in his hometown community.

Together, Coach Holtz and Mark examine the state of American culture today, including the erosion of truth, discipline, and accountability in both public life and private character. With powerful insight and personal testimony, Mark discusses how to model integrity, overcome obstacles, and mentor the next generation with love and responsibility.

This episode offers a compelling blend of football memories, life lessons, and a heartfelt call to restore the virtues that made America exceptional. It’s a conversation about courage, character, and what it really means to lead.
