  • Alex and Shane are terrific. Throw Ravi off the show

    Great over insights from Alex and Shane’s athletic career and experience. Ravi has no business on being on the show. His stupid business analogies have absolutely no relevance to the sports history of Shane and Alex. Get Ravi off of this show.

  • Elite storytelling

    As a former college player and now dad, I am eating up every one of these episodes. I love hearing all the sports stories bc that was my life (for a brief time), but I love how they translate what they learned at players and professionals into raising kids, being great husbands and loving their community well. Some of my favorite guys for sure. Thank you for doing this!

Q: Can we get into CapEx spending, Susan? Can we talk about it?
It's interesting how being just a young identity seems fleeting and will dissipate as I aged, which is something I understood even back then.
