In this episode of The 5th Quarter, host Sandy Adams sits down with Emmanuel Orange—a former college football captain at Carson-Newman University, Haitian-born immigrant, and now a successful professional in healthcare sales.
Emmanuel opens up about his journey growing up between two cultures, how football gave him structure and confidence, and what it really took to walk away from the game. This episode is a deep dive into identity, self-awareness, and redefining purpose beyond the field.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
✔ Adapting to life in a new country and culture
✔ Life lessons from college football and leadership
✔ Letting go of an identity tied to the game
✔ Embracing a new path in healthcare sales
✔ Getting honest about growth, confidence, and knowing who you are
If you’re facing a pivot—or wondering what’s next when one chapter ends—this conversation is a must-listen.
