Episode 6- The mini-series "The Art of Something" comes to a finish with my good friend Jp Martinez. 

It's hard to put into words what this guy means to me. I first met Jp on a phone call near the end of 2020. I was anticipating a role with the San Francisco Giants; he was the assistant pitching coach then. I believe he thought we were having a short introduction, whereas I was under the impression we were having an interview. 

Needless to say, he asked me about a specific certification I had on my resume. I had no idea what the certification was, and my heart started to beat so quickly that I figured I just needed to tell him the truth. I told him to disregard it and told him I didn't know what it was (I did pass the test for the certification, just so you know). He genuinely laughed, and it was at that moment that I knew I would love the guy. Over the next four years, he would become my big brother and a man I grew deep reverence for. 

We spent every day of spring training meditating during sunrise from 2021 to 2024. In those moments, I got to experience this man's depth and wisdom. He is calm yet tenacious. Patient but competitive. His ability to listen is second to none, but what stands about above all within his leadership is that he cares. He has since become the head pitching coach for the San Francisco Giants and will lead their staff during the 2025 campaign. A forever student, sit back and enjoy my conversation with Mr. Miyagi of coaching, Mr. Jp Martinez. 

One Love
