It\u2019s just a few days before summer begins, and <strong>Aaron Rodgers<\/strong> is hanging out on Billionaire\u2019s Beach in <a href=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/2018\/07\/essential-malibu-guide-including-dining-shopping-hotels\/658338\/\">Malibu,<\/a> living his best life. The 37-year-old reigning NFL MVP and Super Bowl XLV champion (and Super Bowl XLV MVP, incidentally) has the easy smile and quick laugh of a man who\u2019s at peace with himself and his place in life. There is zero indication that, behind the easy fa\u00e7ade, his fate with his team of 15 years, the Green Bay Packers, hangs in the balance.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">In this moment, all is chill. After joking and mugging for the camera, gamely getting wet in the waves, A-Rod is now hanging out with me at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malibubeachinn.com\/\">Malibu Beach Inn,<\/a> talking about watches and time as a construct. His post-shoot demeanor is different from before: quieter, more serious. This is the Rodgers we see on the field: laser-focused, game face on.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">The feted QB seems to have found some inner calm, put some things into perspective. Has his new role as brand ambassador for Swiss brand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zenith-watches.com\/en_us\">Zenith<\/a> put the zen into him, or was it always there? I\u2019m about to find out.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">He\u2019s talking about how the relationship with the Swiss timepiece company came to be, and when he says it was an organic fit, I believe him \u2014 he did come to the shoot toting a box full of Zenith timepieces from his personal collectsion, including the new 41mm Chronomaster Sport (the box fit quite neatly in the back seat of his sleek gray Tesla, I might add).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI think,\u201d he muses, \u201cthere were a lot of things that matched up with me in the way that [Zenith] likes to do business. There\u2019s a humility about the company, but there\u2019s excellence as well. Their accuracy is crazy. So there are a lot of similarities between me and my profession, but on another level, I just really like the people. I loved [CEO <strong>Julien Tornare<\/strong>] immediately.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">It was inevitable that Rodgers would align himself with a timepiece brand at some point; for as long as he can remember, he has been a watch guy. When he was younger and didn\u2019t have the kind of wealth that people literally can\u2019t even dream about (like his $134 million, four-year salaried contract with the Packers), he couldn\u2019t always get what he wanted \u2014 like the Casio calculator watch he lusted after as a kid \u2014 but that most certainly isn\u2019t an issue now. Yet it\u2019s funny: our youth shapes us, and the things that shape us never really go away, no matter how far we move beyond them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t have a lot of money when I was growing up, so I didn\u2019t really have a watch,\u201d Rodgers says. \u201cSo when I got drafted, I bought this silly diamond-bedazzled watch. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I had always wanted a diamond watch, and I still have it to this day. It still means a lot to me, just because of the nostalgia associated with buying it.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">And how far he had to come to get to where he is today. He broke single-season school records with 2,466 total yards as the star quarterback at Chico, California\u2019s Pleasant Valley High School in 2001. And that was before he graduated with an A-minus average and SAT score of 1310. But despite his smarts and prowess on the gridiron, Division I programs were woefully and weirdly out of reach. So he enrolled at Butte Community College in his home state and debated quitting football entirely in favor of law school. But skill and luck were on his side, and after attracting the notice of Golden Bears head coach <strong>Jeff Tedford,<\/strong> he transferred to the University of California, Berkeley, after a year. When it was time to go pro during the 2005 NFL Draft, he hoped to be chosen by his team of choice, the San Francisco 49ers, who had the No. 1 pick. He was, instead, selected 24th in the first round by Green Bay, where it would take him another three years to become a starter. When<strong> Brett Favre<\/strong> was traded to the New York Jets in 2008, Rodgers quickly proved his worth, passing that season for 4,038 yards and 28 touchdowns. He became the only NFL player ever to post consecutive 4,000-yard passing campaigns in his first two years as a starter, recorded a 103.2 passer rating in 2009 \u2014 the second best in franchise history \u2014 and was cherry-picked to play in the Pro Bowl. The rest, as they say, is history. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_701389\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-701389\" style=\"width: 533px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-701389\" src=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC6456-wecompress.com_-533x800.jpg\" alt=\"Aaron Rodgers\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-701389\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">JACKET: Brunello Cucinelli<br \/>SHIRT: Hanro<br \/>WATCH: Zenith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"rtp-photo-credit\">Photo Credit: Randall Slavin<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">So yeah, basically, he deserved that diamond watch.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Given that he\u2019s now been in the NFL for 16 years, his taste has evolved. He razzes his Green Bay teammates about wearing Gucci fanny packs (\u201cA fanny pack you might wear over your shoulder is still a fanny pack\u201d \u2014 preach), but gently. He and his bling were there, too. But now? The man\u2019s got great taste and isn\u2019t ashamed to admit it, or sass his teammates about their style. \u201cI\u2019ve always felt that a simple, understated yet classy watch is the perfect accessory, whether you\u2019re rocking a suit or just a nice outfit for dinner,\u201d he says, and then adds abruptly, \u201cI try to keep mine on the proper time zone, too.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">When I ask if he sets his watch the minute he lands from a flight, he declares, \u201cOh, yeah. Every single time. It\u2019s funny: when the pilot makes an announcement and says, \u2018We just landed in San Francisco, so remember to\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">set your watches two hours back,\u2019 you know what I\u2019m always thinking? How many people are actually even wearing a watch? They\u2019re always on their phones! But then I thought, there\u2019s something endearing about that, something classic. And so I always do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I suggest that \u201cold school\u201d might be a better way to describe him, and he agrees. \u201cI think in my game, I\u2019m old school. I don\u2019t wear a mouthpiece; I wear a single-strap, a paper-thin chin strap. The way I dress in my uniform is also very kind of classic. I wear a tiny towel. I just feel like there\u2019s something to be said for that old-school mentality, old-school toughness, and it\u2019s how I\u2019ve always tried to play. With fashion, I\u2019ve always loved the \u201950s and \u201960s \u2014 and to a degree the \u201970s and \u201980s, for different reasons \u2014 but the way people dressed back then with suits, top hats, I just love it. I don\u2019t dress up all the time, but when I do, I try to respect the classy nature of it.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And now, dear reader, this is where shit gets real. All his talk of the past makes me wonder about his thoughts on the passing of time, how he views it, what it means to him. I don\u2019t know where this will go, but surprisingly, the conversation gets deep, quickly. And our passing of time becomes that much more interesting.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cTime is a construct for sure,\u201d he acknowledges. \u201cThe passing of time is an incredible marker for me. To think back to what I was doing a year ago on a certain day, to look at the ocean and look at growth and the changes that have happened positively and experientially. Time is a commodity.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Interesting. And unexpected.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI once heard this guy give a toast, and he talked about how the greatest currency in the world today is actually not money; it\u2019s time,\u201d he says. \u201cWe all have a certain amount of currency to spend, so we should be spending it with the people that truly make our lives better, and that truly breathe life into you. And I truly believe that\u2019s the most important currency we have, is that we get to choose who we want to spend our precious time with.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And now, Rodgers has made that choice. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_701388\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-701388\" style=\"width: 533px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-701388\" src=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC6293-wecompress.com_-533x800.jpg\" alt=\"Aaron Rodgers\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-701388\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">JACKET: John Varvatos<br \/>SHIRT: Hanro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"rtp-photo-credit\">Photo Credit: Randall Slavin<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">The second time we speak, it\u2019s August, less than a month after he decided to return to Green Bay. But after a months-long standoff between him and his team, something had to give.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just woke up one day and said, \u2018I think I\u2019m going to play ball.\u2019 I really thought about what I wanted to do, and there are a lot of growth opportunities and good change to be part of in Green Bay, so I decided to come back.\u201d <span class=\"s1\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">As he heads into the preseason and has had some time to get back into it with his teammates as well as coach <strong>Matt LaFleur,<\/strong> he says confidently that he made a good call. \u201cIt was the right choice,\u201d he confirms. \u201cI mean, it felt a little bit strange, because I was gone for the entire off-season. But the first couple of days \u2014 the first couple of hours, really \u2014 once I saw the guys and was back in the locker room, it was just like last year. It started to feel way more normal.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">His demeanor gives away that he means what he says. Post-practice on a Friday night over Zoom, he looks a little tired, a little scruffy, but utterly relaxed. Being back in his natural habitat has clearly been good for him. Sure, he made an excellent <i>Jeopardy! <\/i>stand-in host (and says he would have happily accepted a full-time gig), but that wouldn\u2019t really have been the right choice. Or would it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> \u201cI think choice is the greatest luxury in life,\u201d he declares. \u201cThere\u2019s something about the opportunity to choose your own adventure, that we can have a million different fractures off one decision, that every decision we make has consequences that can lead to different paths [that\u2019s appealing to me]. What choice does is give me that beautiful perspective and appreciation for those experiences, because the journey is a very sweet part of life.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But inquiring minds want to know: How did he <i>really<\/i> come to this conclusion? How did he know that this particular journey was the right one? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rodgers is an analytical, philosophical guy. No doubt there was an impetus for his decision. \u201cI think I was really waiting for that intuitive feeling of, <i>Should I do this? This feels right. <\/i>And there were a lot of times throughout the process where I felt like I was getting a sign to go this way, a sign to retire, maybe, a sign to go back, that I might get traded, but nothing ever felt like it stuck,\u201d he admits. \u201cSo I thought a lot, meditated a lot on what happiness is, and what does quality of life look like to me? I journaled. I\u2019ve done this before. I\u2019ve written down what my ideal days would be: ideal days playing and not playing. I did this a few different times, thought about what my life would look like, and then I surrendered to the signs of the universe. I just kept on going back to that I had unfinished business in Green Bay, and I wanted to be back there with the guys, to not have the way things had gone at the end of last year be the way I go out there. The signs were pointing that way in the last week, and two nights before I was supposed to leave [for preseason], I felt a key piece slide into place, and that\u2019s when I knew. I woke up the next morning and said, \u2018I\u2019m going back.\u2019\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He knew it might not be easy. But he\u2019s always been up to a challenge. You don\u2019t get to where you are in life the way he has if you aren\u2019t. \u201cI knew that coming back, I needed to be able to have some big conversations with important people [on the team]. And I really look forward to those. I think it shows true growth and really mastering your feelings, being able to balance those two things, which is something that I\u2019ve been working on as well.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ultimately, what he\u2019s most grateful for is that he gave himself time to make the right choice\u2026 and didn\u2019t say anything impulsive that could have had his fate decided for him. This ultimately brings us full circle, back to our pre-resolution conversation. \u201cTime is such a valuable commodity. I\u2019m so thankful that I took time for myself to [come to this conclusion]. During this time, there were many opportunities to speak the facts and my truths, my feelings. And I just didn\u2019t; I didn\u2019t feel like it was the right time. When I did my press conference [on July 28] on my second day of training camp, I tried to navigate it with honesty and kindness and integrity. I see the wisdom in silence, to really let my thoughts marinate and not say something, not have a reaction, not be clouded by frustrations or ego.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cTime will always be a construct, I think, because we become so tied to it with our daily routines \u2014 and I think there\u2019s something beautiful in the routine,\u201d he continues. \u201cWhen you have something you have to do, as arduous or overwhelming as it might seem, by the time you get into your routine, there\u2019s something special about finding that rhythm. For me, it was really thinking about who I want to spend my time with. If this is my last season in Green Bay \u2014 which I don\u2019t know if it is or not \u2014 what type of lasting memories do I want to leave my friends and teammates with?\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Unfortunately, the one downside of another season in Wisconsin is four months away from his fianc\u00e9e, actress <a href=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/2019\/09\/shailene-woodley-announces-eco-campaign-with-american-express\/673971\/\"><strong>Shailene Woodley,<\/strong> <\/a>who\u2019s based in L.A. The two have been engaged since earlier this year. Rodgers is pragmatic about the separation, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s a busy work time for her, so [my decision] probably came at a good time for both of us to be able to focus on our work. I think it\u2019s going to be a good thing. I mean, her work was shut down for an entire year, and she\u2019s booked a number of projects. She enjoys working and her own routine, which I obviously enjoy, too.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Part of that routine he loves so much is the leadership that comes with it, the chance to share the wisdom he has as a league veteran. And to share that he isn\u2019t perfect. No one is. But you must push through failure. As <strong>Winston Churchill<\/strong> once said, \u201cIf you\u2019re going through hell, keep going.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rodgers says, \u201cThe one thing I never want to come across as is somebody who\u2019s got it all figured out. Most of the stuff that I regurgitate is stuff other people have said or talked about. The other part is my own contemplation. But what I do enjoy is passing knowledge to my teammates about time: my time as a young person making mistakes, my time as the older guy on the team with wisdom to pass down. But I don\u2019t have all the answers. We\u2019re all works in progress. There\u2019s no hierarchy when it comes to knowledge for me. I love learning, I love sharing what I\u2019ve learned. I love the back and forth with people who disagree with me or don\u2019t quite understand what I\u2019m saying. [For example], I look forward to my morning talks with [religious teammate punter <strong>JK Scott<\/strong>] about my idea of spirituality and his idea of Christianity. I couldn\u2019t be having those types of conversations if I wasn\u2019t here in Green Bay.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He breaks it down even further, saying, \u201cWhat I always try to show the younger quarterbacks, from a professional standpoint, is that every mistake they\u2019re going to make, I have made. When I was younger, Brett Favre [one of the most feted quarterbacks of all time, who also played the majority of his career for the Packers] said that to me. He said it as a throwaway kind of comment, but just him saying that to me made me feel better about making mistakes. Like, it\u2019s OK if one of the greatest players of all time has made a ton of mistakes. So I just remind the guys occasionally, \u2018Hey, dude, whatever you\u2019re going to do out there, you might think it looks terrible and stupid, but I promise you I\u2019ve done the same thing over and over.\u2019\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Which is actually something that Rodgers still grapples with himself. He may come across as the cool guy who has it all figured out, but he\u2019s human, just like anyone else, flaws and all. \u201cIt\u2019s one of my biggest struggles, the desire to be a perfectionist, and it gives me some negative self-talk sometimes,\u201d he divulges. \u201cAs athletes, a lot of us are perfectionists; we have to be to get where we\u2019re at. But our own worst enemy is often the little voice in our head telling us how badly we suck and that we\u2019re not worthy, which spirals into feeling unlovable.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">So how does he combat this? I suggest drawing a heart in the mirror and telling himself, \u201cI am worthy.\u201d And apparently, this plan isn\u2019t so far-fetched.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cPositive affirmation works for me. Just starting the day by looking in the mirror, going, \u2018All right, man, you look good. You\u2019re looking a little sleepy this morning, but you look good. You\u2019re awesome. I love you so much. We\u2019re going to have a great day.\u2019 It\u2019s silly, but it\u2019s great.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I disagree with the silly part, and he admits that was more negative self-talk, that what he\u2019s trying to do for his team \u2014 and for himself \u2014 is create a space to talk about real things, like feelings. \u201cI think as men sometimes, we really repress our emotions and don\u2019t like talking about them. But I\u2019d like to foster an environment [on the team] where it\u2019s OK to talk about them. As a leader, I\u2019ve got to find a way to let my buddies, my teammates, know that I see them, that I understand them and care about them, so they can be the best versions of themselves,\u201d he says. \u201cI think we\u2019ve got to love ourselves first. We have to feel worthy of being loved before somebody can love us back. That\u2019s what we all want at the end of the day: we want to be seen and we want to be heard and we want to be understood. We want to be loved. We want to be happy.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He references a scene from the Netflix series <i>After Life<\/i> in which star <strong>Ricky Gervais<\/strong> is receiving some sage advice from an elderly woman. She tells him, \u201cHappiness is amazing. It\u2019s so amazing it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s yours or not. A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.\u201d Rodgers says, \u201cThat stuck with me. Happiness is a feeling that you can personally embrace, and it should be shared. I just felt like there could and should be a lot of great shared experiences in Green Bay, and I was excited about that happiness.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Will this be his last season with the team? He doesn\u2019t know. But at least the choice will be his. And if it his last, he\u2019ll go out knowing that he did it the right way: with integrity, with confidence, with happiness. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_701734\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-701734\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-701734\" src=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AARON-RODGERS_HT-DIGITAL_WEB.jpg\" alt=\"Aaron Rodgers\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1201\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-701734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">JACKET: Brunello Cucinelli<br \/>SHIRT: Hanro<br \/>PANTS: ZZegna<br \/>WATCH: Zenith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"rtp-photo-credit\">Photo Credit: Randall Slavin <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Humor me: Let\u2019s go back in time a beat.
