"I just wanted to tell their story": In Episode Six, Audrey Martin, a senior producer with Turner Sports and Bleacher Report, joins me to talk about charting your own professional path, making an award-winning documentary and teaming up with Ernie Johnson to give Charles Barkley a whole lot of grief.

"I have friends in my head": In Episode Five, we visit with Kenya Murray, an epidemiologist pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Georgia's College of Public Health.

"... a beautiful, life-ruining sport.": In Episode Three, Joe VanHoose, my friend and my business partner, joins me to talk about everything from our professional endeavors to Jacksonville Jaguars football. Truth be told, this was supposed to be my first episode, but Joe called a do-over.
