We're on vacation in summertime. You know the drill. Typically, we kind of drop off the

grid entirely, but we didn't want to do that this summer. So we'll be back with a full

on SV Pa with Stanford Steve coming up here shortly. But in the interim, while we are

away, sort of a podcast light, if you like, an extended conversation that we had with

Maya Moore. Now years ago, Maya came on sports center. Afterwards, I sent her a handwritten

note, which as an aside, get stationary, get little cards and write handwritten notes.

Just no one does it. Someone does something that matters to something that you appreciate.

Write a handwritten note. It always resonates with the person that gets it because of text

and email. That's easy. You get a handwritten note. Someone took two minutes just to write

something down. And what I wrote to Maya Moore was that in all the time that I had done

this, I had never been more impressed with an athlete than I was with her. She's something

about her presence in her whole aura. I mean, I choose that word specifically. Like there's

something about her. And that was when she was still playing basketball, you know, MVP,

the WNBA, one of the best players of World Champion, the whole bit. Well, Maya Moore,

if you were unaware, left the game, walked away from the game because she had something

bigger and more important that she wanted to do as a voice and an advocate for prosecutorial

reform and the American justice system. She fought for a man who was wrongly convicted

and was serving time. And during that fight, the two fell in love. And when Jonathan

Ayers got out of prison, July the 1st, 2020, and Maya Moore fell to her knees, she embraced

the man that she would marry not long after. It's an incredible story. And we talked about

that in advance of the 30 for 30 that focuses on their story. Here's our conversation.

How do you process all that is going on in your life as your story in greater detail
