Joey Cunha shares his biggest stories, lessons, and experiences along the way from not getting recruited out of high school to building the successful business he runs now with all the biggest stops along the way.

Key quotes:

"During that 2 year span I watched no baseball. I was completely out, I wanted nothing to do with it, I felt resentful. I was training, kept getting hurt, the NCAA got us. Those 2 years I needed a break."

"We drove 26 hours straight, across the country, in 2 blizzards, and we got there on time. No sleep, I went immediately into a presentation."
