    Episode 33 - Christian Colonel

    To be honest this is the reason we started the podcast. In this episode Keith chats with longtime minor leaguer and always a clubhouse favorite Christian Colonel. We get into Christian’s journey from a tiny town in Idaho to being on the cusp of the big leagues. We also discuss some his off the field issues that hampered his career but also led to an amazing turn around in his life and ultimately finding his purpose. It is a very open and honest coversation, and it seems that no matter what life throws at him, Christian approaches it with hard work, positivity, and determination. We think you are really going to enjoy this one. Thanks for listening.
