Episode 137 | Gian Paul Gonzalez – All In: Faith, Grit, and the Power of Belief

What happens when faith meets action?

In this powerful episode of the #UUPotential Stories Show, Dr. Brandon Beck sits down with Gian Paul Gonzalez, Chaplain for the New York Giants. Gian Paul shares his journey from being a 9th-grade teacher to becoming a national speaker—and ultimately being hired by the New York Giants. He is also the founder of the Hope + Future movement, which supports students in discovering what it truly means to lead with hope, grit, and purpose.

During the New York Giants’ 2011 Super Bowl run, much of their inspiration is attributed to Gian Paul Gonzalez. Prior to the Giant’s Christmas Eve game with the NY Jets, Gonzalez delivered the now famous “ALL IN” rally cry message during the Giants’ chapel service and is now widely recognized as having inspired the New York Giants to their Super Bowl victory. He has traveled across the nation as a motivational speaker for the NBA’s Portland Trailblazers, to the Army Cadets at West Point, United States Air Force, Anheuser-Busch, Sam’s Club, Patch.com, PNC Bank, DSW Shoes, and more.


Gian Paul shares the defining moments that shaped his leadership journey, including lessons learned from working with students in under-resourced communities and the mindset shift required to turn adversity into fuel.
