Taylor McGregor, welcome to Sports Spectrum. It's so good to see you.

0:03.0

So good to see you. Thanks for having me on. What an honor.

0:06.4

This is going to be cool. I'm excited to talk to you. You have one of the coolest jobs, I think, in the country, both as a team to be able to travel to some of the iconic

0:21.4

venues, if you will, in all of sports is awesome. And just excited to talk to you. But we always

0:27.4

try to make first things first on this show. So let's start with your faith. Let's start with Christ.

0:32.8

Who is Jesus in the life of Taylor McGregor? What does he mean to you? Yeah, well, I would say everything.

0:38.7

I would say that's really the foundation. And you mentioned just the jobs and I sit back and every

everything to me, but I would say he's the foundation of my hope and the foundation of who I am as a

1:34.9

1:41.1

is how do you do your work with excellence? How do you go all in and make sure

1:45.6

you're doing your job at a high level and still not make it everything in your life, still not

1:51.1

make it an idol, still not make it your identity? What's that been like for you in this process for

1:55.8

the last, I don't know, a few years that you've been doing this? Yeah, I think the identity
