You know her from the Basketball Feel basketball feelings newsletter. And now as an instructor

for sports business classroom, I actually do want to talk about that experience here in a second.

But first, thanks for coming on the show, especially during this time of year, because it's the

dead time of the NBA season. It's a good time, I guess, reflect on the offseason, kind of look forward,

but just generally speaking, what kind of, what does it look like this time of year for you?

Never very chill. I feel like everyone else I'll say no is like, oh yeah, I'm taking a vacation,

take a time off. Like, this is my time to relax and I'm like, cool. I guess you haven't picked up

a million other off season projects to do or projects that run through the off season.

So, yeah, a little bit more relaxed in the sense that, you know, we don't have NBA games going full tilt, but as someone who still covers the W, I've got that going on.

I've got a few larger projects, namely trying to finish my book and working on a few other kind of like consulting projects in and around basketball.

So never quite a dead time.
