Audience Q&A: Broadcasting, Football, and Golf31:27 – 38:28

31:27

And when I posed this question on social media, uh, Monday morning, I said it could be literally about anything, broadcasting, golf, life, food, whatever.

31:36

So we got four great submissions, and we'll start off with a broadcasting one.

31:41

It is broad, but, uh, I think it's good to say on this podcast just in case people are tuning in for the first time.

31:49

And if you are new to this podcast, I say thank you for giving us a shot.

31:53

"What are your goals ahead of the '26, '27 season?" Well, there's a short answer and a long answer to that.

32:03

Call more games.

32:04

I wanna call more games.

32:06

I will call games wherever, for whoever, whatever sport at whatever level.

32:11

I am here to improve.

32:14

I am here to get better, and I am here to prove to whoever is out there that I am do- willing to do whatever it takes to call more games and work my way up the ladder.

32:27

I'm going to work my butt off.

32:29

I just need the opportunity.

32:30

I can guarantee you that.

32:32

It is just such an honor to have the platform that I have right now on this podcast, social media, and get some of the opportunities that I've had so far.

32:45

But similar to what I talked about with Jon Rothstein, I'm so hungry to keep on going and take it to the next level, and I'm gonna work my butt off in order to do that.

32:57

I'm gonna keep working my connections.

32:59

I'm gonna stay on top of the decision-makers, and I know whoever gives me a shot, I'm going to take advantage.

33:08

So I really appreciate everybody who's given me a shot so far in this very competitive but rewarding and thrilling business, but I'm looking for more, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

33:20

So if you know anybody, uh, who might need someone to call a game at any level, football's coming up.

33:27

I would love to get involved in football this season.

33:30

Please reach me via DM, uh, on any social media platform.

33:34

I really appreciate your support, but I'm ready to go.

33:36

I will be on the next flight out if you need somebody last minute to call a game.

33:41

And yeah, call more games.

33:43

That's the goal over the next year.
