Ryan Lee: Radio Personality & White Sox Host

If there's anyone who needs more than 24 hours in a day, it's Ryan "Media" Lee. Ryan is an on-air radio personality at both 103.5 KISS FM and 107.5 WGCI in Chicago. When he wraps up his radio shows, you can catch Ryan co-hosting alongside me at Rate Field with the Chicago White Sox. We have a good time at work, if you can't tell!  Ryan embodies hustle, heart, and dedication in all aspects of his life.  We touch on Ryan's start in the business, his White Sox audition, and his impeccable passion for fashion.  He is one of my favorite people on this planet, and I am so blessed to work with him at the ballpark. This episode was so fun to record because we went off script in front of the mic.... for once!  Lyssin' Up & Laugh with us!

Chris Vosters: Play-By-Play Broadcaster

Whether it's football, basketball, figure skating, or wheelchair rugby, simply to name a few, Chris Vosters has you covered. Vosters is a familiar face and voice on the Big Ten Network, Fox Sports, and covered the Olympics and Paralympics for NBC Sports. A Wisconsin native, Vosters knew from a young age that he was destined to work in sports when he would sit at the breakfast table reading off the box scores, even before he knew his ABCs! He touches on the value of saying "yes", reaching out of your comfort zone, and taking advantage of working in the minor leagues. Vosters is always a breath of fresh air, both on and off the air, and is truly an encyclopedia of knowledge! Enjoy and Lyssin' Up!
