Baseball season is officially in full swing, and with every home run robbery, oppo taco, and walk-off eruption, it feels like, even for a few hours, baseball restores our faith in humanity. But outside of the stadium, life is anything but calm.

Much gratitude to the host for interviewing Alysa Liu, who is such so inspiring to so many. Thank you for asking thoughtful questions that allowed us to hear her story, insights, and wisdom. There were so many nuggets of truth from Alysa in this interview, and it’s amazing that she’s only 20 years old!
The takeaway for me is to focus on process instead of outcome, to do something for the joy of it, and connect with people along the way.
I just watched the Alysa Liu episode and I was so pleased to watch/hear such interesting questions, with heart, feeling, curiosity. He pays attention. For sure Alysa gave an engaging interview. She’s such a good example for so many reasons. What she’s learned and done is helpful for people and young adults trying to find their way. I’m happy for her, really.
A podcast about a man competing against women? Absolutely ridiculous! The podcast should be about those young ladies who got screwed!
I appreciate the very interesting stories you are telling, and the possibility that sports in general are a place where Americans can still come together. However, the sports mentality reduces everyone to two options. This mentality has become the way Americans see our whole society, Red or Blue. I wonder if you can speak to this - team me or you, winner or loser view of our nation as you share the nuanced stories of athletes, teams and games.
Extremely well done and I very much appreciated the honesty about her depression and healing.
