    A Unique Story
    In this podcast Dan shares what his experience in pro baseball has taught him. In baseball, things do not always go your way, and Dan is great at sharing what he learned.

    Interesting stories! Really liked hearing his insight about how he changed over his career - that was my favorite episode (number 4). Lots of application to other sports and business.
  • 3mck3m
    My favorite way to start the morning.
    I was not a baseball person until recently, but Dear Baseball Gods is surprisingly relatable to the "corporate game". Each episode leaves me with a takeaway that I can apply to my own career goals. Highly recommend.
