Ep. 36: Co-Founder at Grassroot Soccer, Ethan Zohn: How He Went From Cleaning Youth Hostels in Hawaii to Surviving in Africa on Reality TV to Starting his Own Non-Profit - a podcast by Grit Player Services

How the f**k did Ethan Zohn win season 3 of Survivor, start a non-profit with his winnings, and survive his own battles with cancer? Today we’re chatting with Ethan about his journey from the soccer world into the reality world and then into the non-profit world. Ethan was a professional soccer player rising through the USL and overseas leagues when in 2001, he filmed an audition tape (after some drinks) to be on the CBS hit show “Survivor.” He ended up not only participating in the show, but winning the whole thing along with one million dollars. Since then he’s done things like run both the New York Marathon and Boston Marathon and dribble a soccer ball from Boston to DC to raise awareness for non-profits. He’s held titles like inspirational speaker, World Cup Soccer analyst, and appeared on ABC, ESPN Discovery Channel, and Outside TV. He’s beaten cancer not once, but twice, and still today, Ethan is a co-founder of the non-profit, Grassroots Soccer. So how did Ethan take his winnings and his passion for soccer to start his super successful non-profit? And what are some of his tips on how to thrive in quarantine?
