Today we have a conversation with JAY BILAS. Yes, the Jay Bilas you know from ESPN. He’s an icon in the world of college basketball, a six time Emmy nominee, a NYT bestselling author, a Duke legend and NBA vet, a practicing attorney, a husband, a dad , an all around great dude, and today he’s the guest on our show!

I personally got as much or more from this conversation, as much any other episode we’ve done so far. The marriage advice, insights on how he raised his kids to be the successful and wonderful adults that they are now

So many gems. So much wisdom. You're going to love this episode with Jay Bilas.
