As the founding faces of the Pac-12 Network, Mike Yam and Ashley Adamson carried the reputation of the league for over a decade but in 2020, amid a global pandemic, Mike learned he would not return to the network he helped build. 

The three of us never spoke about that day, or the fact that Mike would not return to the place we had such pride in, until now. Mike, Ashley, Jim Thornby and myself listen as Mike shares the brutal impact of that decision on his life and how he has responded to that adversity. 

It's a beautiful conversation among friends who became family. If you fell in love with Mike, Ashley and the content at the Pac-12 Network this is a conversation that will resonate on powerful levels.

Today's conversation is brought to you by our Founding Partner, @76.
