Kevin McNee on Resilience, Risk, and Building Guest Player Connect

In part two of our conversation with Kevin McNee, the story gets personal. From pitching at Georgetown and Brookdale to blowing out his arm on a pro day with 30 MLB scouts watching, Kevin's baseball journey was defined as much by setbacks as by talent. Add two more Tommy John surgeries, a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis on the eve of a Red Sox workout, and a torn Achilles while training with his own kid — and you've got a masterclass in refusing to quit.

But Kevin didn't just survive the grind. He took it to Austria, coaching and playing baseball in a cornfield on the side of an Alpine mountain, where he also met his wife. He parlayed that experience into a career in finance, landing one of 30 spots at a European investment bank out of 10,000 applicants — and eventually channeling everything he'd learned into co-building Guest Player Connect.

Rob and Jessica dig into what actually keeps you moving forward when life isn't giving you a Rudy moment, and Kevin shares where Guest Player Connect is headed next — from six states to Florida, Cooperstown, Puerto Rico, and beyond.
