More about the guest!

Good show but the host should spend less time talking and more time letting the guest speak. Many times the conversations get diverted and lose focus. Including more coaches as guests would be nice as well.

“Take your shots!”

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Tamyra Mensah-Stock has taken her shots on and off the mats. Episode 149 was delightful listening to this humble, optimistic, and grateful women talk about her success on and off the mat. She is very candid All of it is an answer to her prayers to honor God, inspire others, and share love and joy. Incredible, check it out.

Good Show

Justin does a good job most of the time on this show. It just is a little too much Penn State love. But at least he doesn’t try to fake it.
