Jan Krieger clearly remembers the first time she really saw her four-year-old son's vibrant personality come out. At a Wisconsin football game, the band started playing and little George began dancing in the aisle, captivating strangers who were so delighted they started throwing quarters to him. Two decades later George Kittle is still dancing, but is now captivating millions of fans as one of the most entertaining (and dominating) players in the NFL.

Thanks to a mid-season trade by the Niners, the four-time Pro Bowl Tight End is now teammates with Lisa's son Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco. Hear Jan and Lisa explain how their sons - who are one win away from taking the 49ers to Super Bowl LVII - became fast friends in a locker room full of superstars.

Growing up with nine sisters on a farm in Iowa, Jan opens up about her own journey starting a family, including how she first laid eyes on her future husband through a pair of binoculars at a football game. Jan answers listener questions about how she raised George and his sister Emma to be the successful, curious, creative, thoughtful adults they are today. And be sure to stick around for the end, as George and Emma share what they love and appreciate most about their mom.

We highly encourage you to check out the Kittle family podcast Hidden Gems, as they are on a mission to unite the world through storytelling.
