We have made it to Episode 3! This one was a fun one and might be our best episode yet! Jared Perkins and Caleb Mezzy had the opportunity to sit down with Jacob Turner. Jacob was a 1st round (9th overall) draft pick in the 2009 MLB Draft by the Detroit Tigers. We touch on a little bit of everything:

- How the MLB Draft process helped him with life after baseball
- Growing up in professional baseball and how it helped develop him as an individual
- Lessons learned from playing overseas
- The importance of building relationships
- Transitioning to life as a financial advisor and how he is using it to help the next generation of players

Caleb and Jared also sit down prior to the interview to chat about the suspension of Fernando Tatis, Jr. and the human elements that come along with that for both him and the people around him.
