The two explore Musgrove’s visionary mindset that has helped form his day-to-day life, including his family’s strong values and standards for greatness, that were instilled in him by his parents.

Musgrove said, “A lot of what I have obtained at this point has definitely com through faith and just truly wanting to be different…because I wanted to be different, I had to do things that were different.”

Musgrove is a graduate of Texas State University, where he received his BA in English and was also an All-American Defensive back on the DI Texas State Football team. He earned his law degree from Tulane University and is a practicing attorney in Dallas, Texas.
