    I discuss more thoughts I have about the passing of Coach Joe Rose and the scale of his impact on the world. The positive influence he gave in his 30 years of coaching on thousands of young adults who grew up in his programs. How he is an inspiration for me for how I could potentially leave the world a better place. The unfortunate sobering fact that I am approaching 30 years old and more people that were adults when I was growing up are going to die. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mikelady91/support
