Episode 2: Ari Temkin

The Mark of a Fighter is a series of conversations with the voices who soundtrack our sports lives &mdash; radio hosts, DJs, play‑by‑play announcers, and analysts who chose the grind of the mic over the safety of the sidelines. Each episode, we get into why they picked this lane, the moment they almost walked away, and the quiet wins they still celebrate. We talk about the role college sports played in shaping their path, what keeps them fighting for who they are and what they represent, and how they toast the milestones &mdash; maybe with a cold Modelo, maybe with something else. This is where we find out what it really takes to keep answering the bell, day after day, in the sports and media arena. The Mark of a Fighter is presented by Modelo.&nbsp;
