OHustle & Motivate, I sit down with real-life underdogs in the world of sports, entertainment, and more. We bring you entertaining, informative conversations shedding light on how these individuals operate.

Their mindset, how they started, what they’re up to now, and how they overcame adversity on the path to greatness.

The aim is to get your wheels turning.

Realizing that a simple mindset shift opens up a world of possibilities.  Because in the end, you can do anything you believe you can achieve.

A few months ago, I tweeted out an interesting snippet from the Front Office Sports daily newsletter.  Then Russell Wilde, the COO of the company, responded.

After some back and forth in the DMs, Russell agreed to come on the podcast.  Needless to say, I was thrilled.

After all, I’ve been a huge fan of theirs since a friend recommended I check them out.

Just last month, Front Office Sports announced the next chapter of their journey as part of Stein’s, an investment management and holding company led by Jason Stein and Alyson Warshaw.

In short, they’ve come a long way from their time building the publication as students at the University of Miami.  And to think it all started from founder Adam White’s post in the school’s Facebook group asking for some help with a new project.

Written By

Division III baseball alum (McDaniel College) and founder of Joker Mag. Being cut from my baseball team in 7th grade could have ended my athletic journey. Instead, I found hope in stories of undersized athletes who defied expectations. I ultimately played baseball through college, earning Honorable Mention on the All-Centennial Conference team in my senior season. This experience inspired me to create the world's first digital media platform dedicated to inspiring underdog stories. Since launching in November 2017, my work has been featured on platforms such as FOX Sports, SB Nation, and The Sporting News, reaching over 1.5 million readers world wide.
