Wow I loved it! I was in a good place on the first of a few days off and out for a long climb on my mountain bike when I listened but y’all elevated me. Thank you, Jim M.
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.
THANK YOU!
I listen to many podcasts on leadership and team building and with only on GG under my belt, it’s in my top 3. Can’t wait to listen to more and get caught up.
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!
Guys, the first episode I was writing down notes, a true masterclass on parenting, the workplace and athletics! I can’t wait to consume more and thank you all for this gift, so many pearls of wisdom…bonkers!
