Customer Reviews
Worth a Listen!
As a fellow teacher, who also loves sports, this podcast was great! I listened to episode 4 where the interviewed Charlie Blaney. I like how the host gave a quick background of Charlie for listeners who may not be familiar with him. The questions were very interesting and Charlie’s responses consist of personal stories, relatable content, and great advice for the listeners. Worth a listen!

Great stories from great people. You have a nice interviewing style as well. Asking good questions that give more to your listeners. Enjoyed this session with Richard Kee. My favorite advice he gives is about finding a mentor. Love how he recalls his time in Baseball.
