    David Cook: CEO of Racing Prodigy

    There are many people who aspire to be racers, but the problem is, it's an extremely expensive sport!! So how do you break the barriers of entry with the financials? Here's where David Cook and Racing Prodigy come in. David created Racing Prodigy!! From the Racing Prodigy website itself it states: "...Historically, the cost of pursuing a career in motorsports has been so daunting 99% of drivers never realize the opportunity or even dare dream of becoming a professional racer. As a result, most never get to experience the thrill of racing behind the wheel."  What you'll hear in this interview is how David and his team have taken the world of motorsports and eSports and have created an incredible SIM Racing platform that prepares aspiring racers for when it's time to actually get in the car!  You'll definitely enjoy what he has to say so 'buckle up' for this episode!  For more information on Racing Prodigy, head to: www.racingprodigy.com  You can also follow them on their social media channels:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/racingprodigy/  #RacingProdigy #eSports #SIMRacing #Motorsports #Racecardriver

    Taylor Larson: Wife of a Sports Fan and Sports Podcaster

    Today I have the honor and privilege of bringing to the show, my wife, Taylor Larson. I'm so glad she decided to join me for a conversation because she's my travel buddy and has been with me since this podcast started.  I'll ask her about what it's like with me being an Ohio State fan, especially during the week of Ohio State and Michigan, and what it's like from a wife's perspective to have to handle a passionate sports fan (many can relate to this one) We will also talk about some of her favorite games she's been to with me and why she's enjoyed them. Ohio State and Oklahoma? Ohio State and Nebraska? Ohio State and Clemson? Ohio State and Oregon? Which one is her favorite? Tune in and see.  And how do college games compare to those of NFL games?!  One of my favorite questions is at the end when I ask her about her thoughts of the podcast since she's been with me from the beginning. What has she seen in me, and what is it like being married to a podcaster. (Behind the Scenes...)  Can you believe I've been doing this for 381 episodes now?!!
