In Episode 1 of Season 3, we learn about how Tim Harkins honed his determination at an early age, and how he used that drive, which sometimes bordered on bullheadedness, to build a reputation as a hard-nosed athlete who always gave his best. That trait would later be a key part of his personality that he brought to his battle with cancer.

He was an athlete, a leader and a mentor. Most of all, he was my Dad.

We lost my father, Tim Harkins, to cancer in the spring of 2020. 

He was a good person, an excellent father, a great man. But he wasn't a self-promoter, so I decided to do it for him. I decided that his story needed to be shared. Because quite frankly, the world could use more people like him.

Ep. 1 drops Sept. 14.
