Summary

Some sports broadcasters stand out in the profession and Tim Brando is one of those exceptional talents. The one thing they all have in common is their dream to do what they do from a very early age and an ability to articulate the steps they took to get to where they are today. Tim is exactly one of those guys and his career has covered a lot of ground. Jump on in as we discuss his path to Fox Sports and the many great sports broadcasters that mentored him along the way. You'll clearly see it was a lot of work, with a lot of people in a lot of places.
