Myerscough alum Pedro Ellery returns to the podcast to talk about his recent commitment to Montana State University at Billings, as well as what fuels his drive.

Myerscough alumni Travis Edwards joins the podcast to talk about the origins of the Square Sesh, what his focus was on at the Academy and how to prepare for life after leaving the programme. He also gives us insight on what projects he's working on and where his intense drive comes from.

SCO: The Podcast is joined by a pair of brothers – Michael and Daniel Johnston – who are part of the U14 and U16 teams, respectively, within the Myerscough junior basketball setup.
