Coming up next on the Jordan Harbinger Show.

You know, I think growing up and watching

Michael Jordan and Greg Norman and Magic and Bird, they usually have one thing in common and they have this incredible

Zen approach that you just could not get inside the brain you couldn't get in their skin. That's something that I've always wanted to do like no matter

what came around me no matter how crazy things got. I always wanted to be level headed and very calm kind of the calm before the storm.

Today we're talking with three-time MVP, 14-time All-Star and World Series Champion Alex Rodriguez, aka Rod.

As of 2016, he was the highest paid player in Major League Baseball history. The average career in baseball is about five years, he played for 23 years.

Set to make several hundred million dollars before age 42, not bad. Today we're talking about everything but baseball, y'all know him in Indoor Kid.

We touch on growing up fatherless, Alex turned towards mentors to keep them on the right track.

Sometimes he went a bit outside of that track, we'll talk about that today as well. We also discuss fame, family, business and how to decide what your priorities are or what they should be.

To be honest, I enjoyed this conversation, it went in some surprising directions and I think you'll enjoy it as well.
