Wyatt and Jake had the opportunity to interview Sam Griesel on the Be Unexpected podcast. Sam is the starting point guard for the Nebraska Men's basketball team, but it has not been an easy journey to where he is today.

Wyatt and Jake talk to Sam about his passion for soccer and basketball growing up, his experience of attending Lincoln East and leading them to a 24-2 record, his time at North Dakota State. Sam opens up about a life threatening event that happened in 2021 right before the season started, and it sidelined Sam for over a month. Going through that changed Sam's view on life. Gratitude, being where your feet are, and taking a genuine interest in others are just a few of the things he grew in over that life threatening experience. Along this journey Sam talks about how he never wished these things had  happened to him, but it has deepened his relationship with God, he is extremely grateful to be alive!
