Welcome to John Gordon's Positive University podcast. My name is Daniel Decker. I'm the co-host of

Positive U. And on this episode, John is joined by Paul Goldsmith. Paul is a Major League

Baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals.

During this conversation John and Paul talk about Paul's journey to the major leagues,
