The first-ever guest on the GDP Podcast is one of the most versatile play-by-play broadcasters of all time, Sean McDonough. The lead voice for the NHL on ESPN and College Football on ABC has done it all in his illustrious career. I've been lucky enough to have him be a mentor of mine during my short time in the industry!

Just a few years after graduating from Syracuse University, McDonough began broadcasting games for the Boston Red Sox at the age of 25. His career then flourished on a national level for CBS, becoming the youngest person to ever call a World Series game.

Listen to learn more about McDonough's incredible perspective on his longevity at ESPN, how he's dealt with adversity throughout his career, and much more!

From a near five-year hiatus, The GDP Podcast makes its return. Episode 1 explains what to expect in the series by telling my story in the sports broadcast industry thus far.

I hope that through sharing my own highs and lows, it can provide the blueprint for what to expect in this podcast. Coming off the most difficult year of my life, I believe it's important to be transparent about those experiences because maybe it helps another person (or even yourself).

Athletes, coaches, broadcasters, and others in the sports realm all have a unique path. It's my job to help provide context on how they battled adversity to get to their level of success!
