In this episode, Dan and Keith sit down with Michael Burns, a lifelong athlete and Belmont native with a passion for sports and coaching. Michael shares his journey from backyard whiffle ball to Belmont Hill, then on to Trinity College—his dream school—and eventually into a career in sports marketing.

After realizing finance wasn’t for him, Michael pivoted back to his passion, earning a degree in sports management from UMass and landing roles with NESN and the Bruins. For the last 18 years, he’s thrived in the industry at Hill Holliday. Now a husband, father of three daughters, and a dedicated coach, Michael reflects on how his upbringing, community, and competitive mindset shaped his life.

The guys also chat about country club scuffles, marathon bandits, and mindset versus talent, with a special shout-out to Keith’s episode-winning dad jokes.
