Today’s episode is presented by Old Spice.
Today is a BIG BIG Pivot and a year in the making…we took the trip to sit with none other than Dwayne The Rock Johnson for a conversation where we just all let our guards down, had some laughs, talked life lessons and shared our experiences and what matters most in our lives.
Taking a trip down memory lane to what it was like growing up as an only child and having the dreams to play in the NFL one day, The Rock shares with Ryan how he never imagined being where he is today and frankly never wanted this life either, he just had other goals that led him to where he is now. Fitness and being in the gym is an obvious part of The Rock’s life, but the motivation is far beyond the physical aspects it provides as he opens up that its symbolic to his relationship with his dad and their time they had when it was just the two of them.
After heartache and bouts of depression in his younger years and missing out on playing professional football, The Rock shares how getting in the family business of Wrestling saved his life, and years later realized how it saved four generations of the Johnson family. Looking back, The Rock says not making the NFL was the best thing to happen to him and led him on a journey that no one could ever script. Dealing with divorce, loss, heartache, tough times never fell short on him and he still lives with a survival mentality everyday never taking for granted his success and looking to his daughters as his source of pride and happiness.
The Rock shares how his upbringing and determination to never be broke and always have more than $7 Bucks has fueled his success over the years. Never straying far away from his first love of football, The Rock talks about how ownership of the XFL gave him the opportunity to create opportunities for young men who were just like him shares his first conversation with Roger Goodell and how the league took off in it’s first season! From a personal stance, Fred takes the opportunity to express his gratitude to The Rock for his commitment to helping others and for saving his son’s football dreams.
As someone who is a Jack of All Trades, Channing asks The Rock what does he believe he’s the best at? Let’s just say the answer has Channing doing his own dance in his seat!!

Wow… one of the best interviews with any organisation and stars I’ve seen in along time. Love the questions, the set, the vibe that you provide and the energy is real, sincere and very genuine… good work boys… it’s not your standard Hollywood gimmick… I’m a big DJ fan and still learnt something new… was awesome to see him in this light, thank you
Oggy I love Dwayne for so long now❤I’m afraid I’ll just die without seeing him ❤ I e followed him for 20 years now he is amazing ❤❤❤love

Why does he keep saying he’s an only child? He has a whole brother AND a sister. Smh.
Hold up let me get my voice together: Finnaalllyyyy the Rock has Commmeee Back to the Pivot Podcast 😅😅😅😅
You guys need to get Eric Berry on this Podcast!

The best I heard and it took a long time to realize that’s the greatest thing is taking care of other people.. The Rock laid it down and gave a human aspect down to earth. These guys are inspiring DJ really enjoy this interview.. LB OKlahoma Fathers Day June 18, 2023
I really need to get drunk – @olsonbrothers wanna hang
Search "Leon Washington hits Channing Crowder" Thats all i think when i see channing
0:22 comprei 100k de seguidores no Autoridade Social, Serviço de qualidade e fazem a reposição
2:11 Depois que comecei a usar o Autoridade Social, minha presença nas redes sociais mudou completamente. Vale muito a pena experimentar!
10 minutes in, and I’m on the verge of tears. Never realized how much I admired the rock and his story. Now hearing of his family struggles growing up, it makes me love his story even more.
🔥🔥🔥
the capped brother trying to keep a straight face on hearing the turkey pee story while i lost my shit.
Great interview. Love the Rock
I had to Google what horizontal hula was i thought it was a Hawaiian tradition or something 😅
Freddy with the Eastside Golf fit! Morehouse FTW!
Great question from Channing: What are you the best at?
All jokes aside he should the rock should really run for the president like on the show
Upgrade the face 😅😅😅
Dwayne deserves every ounce of success he has, and I’m happy for his success. I also deeply resent him for it. Stone Cold is still Stone Cold. Mick Foley is still Mick Foley. Hell, Hulk Hogan is still Hulk Hogan. Dwayne isn’t The Rock anymore and hasn’t been for a very long time. He outgrew The Rock and had shed that identity to move on. God bless him for using his success to be as good of a person that he is though
Respect
Awesome interview but my goodness that intro song is absolutely terrible.
Channing I'm always going to pick the Rock story.❤
Am I the only one that doesn’t find Channing funny I think he takes away at times in these interviews
