During an appearance on the 'Nothing Left Unsaid' podcast, Bradshaw explained what he is working on on the side.

"One’s in oil and gas, one’s a horse trader, my other son-in-law is in on my bourbon business with me, awesome salesman. And he’s an award-winning chef, voted the #1 chef in Dallas two years ago. He’s from Hawaii, incredible chef."
On that same train of thought, the Steelers legend explained that he is willing to venture away from football to pursue his next venture. In particular, the 77-year-old shared that he is working with FOX on a project he wants to undertake away from the football field.
"Matter of fact, as we talk today, we’re in the process of doing a show on FOX Nation, and it’s a cooking show, I think it’s four segments they’re gonna give us to see if it’s any good," Bradshaw revealed.

The NFL legend's comments come during the same interview in which he revealed the bizarre behavior he exhibited at school. While speaking on the podcast, the 77-year-old shared the lengths he and his family would go through to get to where they are today.
"I grew up in a middle-class family in Shreveport, Louisiana. Father was a welder, mother was a housewife," he recalled on the show. "We walked to school, maybe four, but I didn't like wearing shoes.
"So I would leave the house with shoes on my feet, but I wouldn't wear them to school. I would stick them in pipes that were on the way to school and hide them so nobody would steal them. I would go to school bare-footed.

"I don't know why... I liked to feel the grass and dirt under my feet."
It appears that his habit of not wearing shoes still remains, as Bradshaw can be seen on several occasions without shoes while on the golf course, although he does wear them during the FOX NFL Sunday broadcasts.
That said, while not wearing shoes was something he picked up on his own, Bradshaw admitted that he did not pass it down to his children. The 77-year-old also shared a piece of advice he wouldn't share with his offspring.
Speaking on his children, he stated: "They all seek advice, I love giving advice, they all come to me with love advice… those girls come to you and they say ‘Dad, what do you think about Tommy Joe? I really like him and this and that. What do you think about Tommy Joe?' Here’s Dad’s answer, I’ve got no comment, sweetie!
