San Francisco Giants Pitcher, Tyler Beede, On The Mental Strength It Takes To Be In "The Show"

KBO Legend, Ben Lively Live From Blue Wahoos Stadium In Pensacola

This is one of the coolest interviews I've ever got to do, and you can hear it in my voice. First off, Ben is the man. He's somebody I looked to as the model for what kind of impact an American can have in the Korean Baseball Organization. That was huge for me when I was thinking about making that leap across the Pacific. Two, we did this interview LIVE in a baseball stadium. How cool is that? Between my injury and COVID, it had been so long, and it felt so good just to be in a ballpark. Huge thank you to everybody with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos that made this possible! Also, be on the lookout for the footage we were able to capture that day!

One Of MLB's Hottest Free Agents, Jackie Bradley Jr.

I'm continually impressed by this dude. Not only did he ball out for the whole 2020 season, but he also did it his way. He kept his approach the same. That effortless consistency comes from a strong mental game. I was excited I got the opportunity to explore that with him, especially during this time in his career where change is looming. Regardless of what happens in free agency, I know one thing is for sure, though: JBJ is going to get his. Everybody can get value out of hearing this dude's minset.

2021 Baseball Hall Of Fame Nominee, Torii Hunter

Legend. There's no other way to describe today's guest. He's remembered as one of the most electric players to ever set foot in the outfield. He's won nearly every award. He's done just about everything there is to do in this game. Knowing all that, my expectations for this conversation were high. I still came away impressed after talking with Torii. What I appreciated most was his honesty and humility in recognizing it's his mindset more than his natural talents that got him to where he is today. I feel so blessed for the opportunity to explore that mindset with him on this episode.

Today, we have one of the most talented and resilient young pitchers in the game today with us On Deck With X. We get into the MLB life the cameras don't show (5:20), battling with feelings of regret early on in his career (12:00), dealing with injuries from an attitude perspective (26:50), and becoming more than an athlete (29:20). Tyler is one of my players to watch, and now he's going to be all of our favorites to listen to. Please enjoy the episode.

Founder of The Positive Vibe Movement, Matt Bahnick

Today I get to talk with Matt Bahnick, founder of the Positive Vibe Movement. The Positive Vibe Movement started with Matt transitioning from his baseball career to confronting stigmas surrounding mental health. Ever since I heard his story, I've been a fan of the message. We get into what it means to sell apparel that gives back, transition for the game, and take an idea all the way through to execution.
