FIS Podcast Ep. 13: Raiders, Prince, and Oprah with Tim Storey

Tim Storey joins Monica Madrid on Football Is Sexy to talk comebacks, confidence, NFL leadership, and the power of leading with love.

Some episodes entertain you.
This one shifts you.

Monica Madrid sits down with legendary life coach + motivational icon Tim Storey for a conversation that starts with football…and somehow turns into a masterclass on comebacks, confidence, and leading with love…with moments so wild you’ll be pausing just to text someone: “I can’t believe he said that.”

If you’ve ever needed a reset, a push, or a reminder that your story isn’t over…this is your sign.

Hit play. Take notes. And don’t be surprised if you get emotional.


The Question Tim Asked Monica That Changed Everything

You know those questions that hit you in the chest because nobody’s ever asked it like that before?

Tim asks Monica something the world should’ve been asking her from the beginning…and her answer unlocks the real reason Football Is Sexy is bigger than a podcast.

This segment goes beyond football fast…and the way Monica ties her mission to her personal “why” is the kind of moment that makes you sit up straighter.

Watch this part if you’ve ever had to explain yourself to someone who didn’t “get it”… until they did.


“Divine Doors”: The Comeback Concept You’ll Start Using Immediately

Tim doesn’t do fluffy motivation. He gives you language for what you’re living through.

He breaks down the difference between what you decide and what you discover…and then drops a framework that explains why certain opportunities feel like they found you at the exact right time.

He also starts firing off quotes that Monica calls “platinum records”… and one of them is the type of line you’ll screenshot and keep in your camera roll for the next time life tests you.

This is the segment you’ll replay when you’re in your ‘what am I doing with my life’ era.


Monica’s Soul Train Story… and the Move That Got Her “Up There”

Monica takes you behind the scenes of how Soul Train really worked—what it felt like, how competitive it was, and what most people don’t understand about being “discovered.”

But the best part isn’t even the name-drop moment.

It’s the mentality she shares—how she went from simply being in the room to making sure the room remembered her.

She reveals one bold decision that instantly changed her placement… and it turns into a bigger lesson about visibility, confidence, and not settling for the floor when you know you’re built for center stage.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m meant for more,” this segment will light you up.


Prince at the Grammys… and a Story Monica Has Never Forgotten

You’re going to want to watch this part with your full attention.

Tim shares a Prince moment that’s so Prince it feels unreal…quick, mysterious, and impossible to forget.

And then Monica tops it with a personal Prince story that will have you laughing because…it’s one of those “no one would believe this if it wasn’t me” moments.

We’re not spoiling it, but just know:
there’s a fashion detail involved that makes the whole thing even more iconic.

This segment alone is worth hitting play.


Raiders Chaplain Energy + What Tim Knows About NFL Leadership

Yes, Tim is that guy in the motivation world, but his NFL ties go deeper than people realize.

He talks about his connection to the Raiders, what really happens behind the scenes with elite athletes, and why leadership in football has way less to do with being the loudest person in the room than fans think.

He also touches on the real pressure players carry…and how certain mindsets separate the ones who last from the ones who burn out.

If you love football psychology and inside-the-culture stories, you’re going to eat this up.


The Moment Tim Casually Dropped a Piece of Memorabilia That Made Monica Lose It

There’s a point where Tim reveals something he owns that is so football-history-coded, it stops the whole conversation.

Monica’s reaction says everything.

We’re not giving you the full reveal, but it involves:

  • a championship moment
  • legendary names
  • and a detail that makes it feel… way too real

This is the part where you’ll say out loud: “Ain’t no way.”


Monica’s Big Vision: Women, Football, and the Oprah-Level Goal

This is where the episode gets bigger than stories.

Monica shares what she’s building next…and it’s not small.

It’s about making football more inclusive for women, without watering it down, and creating an experience that actually feels like it was designed with women in mind.

And then she says the goal out loud… the one that’s so bold it sounds crazy—until you realize Monica’s not the type to say things she won’t chase.

This segment is pure main character energy.


Who’s Got Next: The Guest Tim Wants in This Seat

Before the episode wraps, Tim drops a “Who’s Got Next” recommendation that has serious football credibility and would make for an all-time guest.

If you’re into deep NFL stories and legends with personality, you’re going to want Monica to make this one happen.

Listen to this part and tell us in the comments if you want that episode next.
