EP 1 | A-ROD
The guest today is Alex Rodriguez or A-Rod, if you'd like to call him that. He is quite the businessman now. And, of course, still the baseball legend. But something tells me people are going to remember him for his business sense and his successes off the field. And so we talked a lot about business. We talked about how A-Rod Corp started in 2003 and we talked about the trajectory of that and what he's done and where it's going. And we also talked about some of the transitional times in his life that weren't so easy. I hope you like it.
