Summary

Major League Baseball's Eric Byrnes sure is passionate about his projects. You'll hear that come through loud and clear today as we have a conversation about all he's doing right now and this boy is busy! He's launched a non-profit entity called "The Let Them Play Foundation", has a podcast, a fitness program and now, "No Filter Network" doing some unique approaches to disrupt the traditional broadcast way of listening to sport play-by-play. You have to hear him tell his story with all the emphasis and energy only he can bring to the table. Today also marks the 1 year anniversary of Kobe Bryant's death. I'm compelled to recognize the date and share my memories of what I was doing, where I was and who I was with on this day one year ago. It's still so very hard to believe. Also, let's not forget what's also important here and that's your personal grooming. You want to be your best for your partner don't you? Then order up your personal grooming products from Manscaped.
