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.

Division III baseball alum (McDaniel College), founder of Joker Mag, and author of The Underdog Mentality: Sports Stories That Will Change How You See the Game (And Yourself). Since launching in November 2017, my stories have been featured on platforms such as FOX Sports, SB Nation, and The Sporting News, reaching over 1.5 million readers worldwide. The seed was planted way back in 7th grade when I got cut from the baseball team. Instead of giving up, I found hope and inspiration 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. Today, my mission is simple: To share stories that give people the same feeling I felt when I was that undersized ballplayer searching for hope, inspiration, and evidence that my dream was possible. Like my mom always told me, you can do anything you set your mind to. Sometimes we just need a little extra push. And that’s why I’m so passionate about sharing these stories with the world.
