Very happy to have Matt on the podcast this week. He's a charismatic guy who jumped at the opportunity to chat with us about what's going on in his day-to-day. That's good for us because it's an awesome story. Great college pitcher, forgoes an opportunity to play in the Minors for a Law School enrollment. Get's a job out of law school and somehow finds time to manage an upstart Player Agency outside of his 9 to 5. He talks about showing up to things, truly "showing up" and having the right mindset to make the most out of each interaction.
