In this episode I speak with my friend Braden Persian about his journey to becoming a baseball coach, and how he went about giving up previous dead-end jobs and pursuing something he was truly passionate about. We also cover leadership and how to do it better.
I also open the podcast with some thoughts on social media and the importance of being honest with ourselves.
Enjoy
