After a month off I'm back with another episode of the Get Starked Podcast. In this episode, I discuss the NBA Finals and the Warriors two game lead. I also dive into the MLB Draft and a unique prospect who will likely be selected early in the 2018 draft. Finally, I share my thoughts on listening thanks to a request from my good friend Mitch Edquist. Please enjoy and share if you do!
