What Happens After The NFL Pay Checks Stop? | Ryan Harris
Season 5, Episode 9
Show notes
What happens when the stadium lights go out, the cheering stops, and those NFL paychecks are no longer rolling in?
This week on It Hurts To Be Pretty, we're sitting down with Super Bowl 50 Champion and former Denver Broncos offensive lineman Ryan Harris to talk about life beyond football.
From the financial realities of the NFL and why so many professional athletes struggle with money after retirement, to navigating fatherhood, going to law school, and finding purpose after the game, Ryan gives us a look at the man behind the Super Bowl ring.
Winning a Super Bowl is one thing. Figuring out what comes next? That's a whole different game.
We're talking money, family, career changes, and the lessons football doesn't teach you.
Tune in for an honest, funny, and eye-opening conversation you won't want to miss!

Tino Vigil — Real Estate Entrepreneur & Denver Event Creator
Season 5, Episode 6
Show notes
Born and raised in Denver, Tino Vigil, 29, is a real estate professional turned event creator who knows how to bring a city together. After seven years building his career in real estate, Tino discovered another passion: creating unforgettable experiences and giving people a reason to connect.
What started as a love for bringing people together quickly grew into something much bigger. His standout event, A Night Above the City, drew more than 2,300 people to Coors Field, exceeding expectations and creating an energy that proved Denver was ready for something different.
For Tino, events are about more than filling a venue. They’re about creating a vibe, building community, meeting new people, and giving Denver experiences people genuinely look forward to.
On this episode, we get to know the man behind the events — from navigating real estate and entrepreneurship to pulling off a 2,300-person night at one of Denver’s most iconic venues, what he’s learned along the way, and what he plans to create next.
