Jim Abbott might be the greatest story in baseball history. His perseverance inspires us all and we couldn't be more grateful that he took the time for us. We discuss his no-hitter, a feat that is not easy to accomplishment. We also share with him a member of our family, McKinley Abbott (no relation), who was also born with arm differential and has taken to Jim's story for inspiration. At just nine years old, she has began playing softball and loves listening to our podcast with her dad, Andy. We discuss his time with some very big managers and also what it was like to represent the United States in the Olympics back in 1988. Of course, it wouldn't be our show if we didn't bring up OTHER sports, so we hear about his high school football career too and the importance of playing multiple sports. Leave it up to Tim Kurkjian to bring in the biggest guests and names, we recommend checking out "Southpaw: The Life and Legacy of Jim Abbott" streaming now because it's absolutely incredible.

How come baseball, that most American of games, is even more popular in Japan than in its home country?  It's a story with roots into the nineteenth century, as Arion, Olly and Rebecca discover while  they investigate the events of September 1st, 1964, when the San Francisco Giants introduced their newest player, Masanori Murakami, during a game against the New York Mets: the first Japanese player in Major League Baseball. His remarkable composure earned him a standing ovation at Shea Stadium. What made this even more impressive was the fact that Murakami had only signed his contract a few hours before - after the Giants found a Japanese translator to ensure he understood what he was agreeing to.  The Retrospectors explain how Murakami's journey to the Major Leagues was almost accidental; discover how an American educator caught a wave of openness in Japan to establish baseball as a martial sport; and reveal why ‘Banzai' Babe Ruth felt personally betrayed by Pearl Harbor…  Further Reading: • ‘How MLB's First Japanese Player Made it to Big Leagues' (HISTORY, 2021): https://www.history.com/news/masanori-murakami-first-japanese-major-league-baseball-player • ‘Opinion | Banzai Babe Ruth: Baseball, Espionage, & Assassination During the 1934 Tour of Japan” by Robert K.

Featured : LISA PERRIN, The League of Lady Poisoners: Illustrated True Stories of Dangerous WomenDescribed as a feast for the senses, this sumptuously illustrated book will introduce you to some of the most infamous women throughout world history, united by their shared taste for poison. Welcome to the League of Lady Poisoners. Lisa Perrin will join our peculiar little group to chat about the stories of more than twenty-five accused women poisoners, and the circumstances (and skill sets) that led them to lives of crime. No lie, you might find yourself rooting for some of them—like Sally Bassett, who helped poison her granddaughter's enslavers in Bermuda, or Giulia Tofana, who sold her name-brand concoction to women wanting to be rid of their abusive husbands. But there's also some truly villainous doings in this brightly illustrated work—organized into thematic chapters based on motive. It is a treat for true crime fans, feminist history buffs, and any curious readers fascinated by the more macabre side of human nature. You know, folks like us. (Ahem, keep an eye on your cocktails tonight!) Joining us will be alum author Patti McCracken, author of the true crime Angel Makers!

Nick shares how he went from starting his first business during university to exiting two companies for a combined $47M. He talks about building Security Colony to give small businesses access to enterprise-grade tools, the importance of storytelling in marketing, and creating a strong, values-driven culture.

Staying consistent when things get tough is often what defines long-term success. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Nick Ellsmore has shared that his favorite business book is Early Exits by Basil Peters. It helped him understand how to structure businesses for strategic acquisition, especially when building with an exit in mind. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Nick Ellsmore recommends the 90 Day Year by Todd Herman, a goal-setting and execution system that breaks the year into manageable 90-day sprints.

According to Nick Ellsmore, the One Page Strategic Plan from Verne Harnish's Scaling Up is a game-changing tool. It helps align teams, clarify strategy, and focus everyone on priorities—all in one concise page. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business?

“I hope this works out…” You ever caught yourself saying that? Let's be real — most high-achievers work hard and prepare well. But deep down, they're still carrying doubt. And doubt under pressure? It'll bury you. That's why I had to get MLB All-Star, Shane Greene, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. This dude didn't just pitch in the Big Leagues — he closed games on the biggest stages, for the game's most storied franchises. And he lived the mental fight: from underdog to All-Star from overthinking to locked in. From hoping to BELIEVING. This episode is for every leader, athlete, and executive who's tired of playing scared and is ready to show up ready for every fight they face. If that's you, lock into this episode. In this episode, you will hear: Why hope is NOT a strategy (and what to do instead) How to grade yourself under pressure — and stay confident no matter the outcome The secret to turning your greatest weakness into your edge The power of your words — and how they literally shape your brain and environment Key Quotes “Hope is not a strategy. If I'm on the roof and you ask if I'll catch you, and I say, ‘hopefully' — are you going to jump?” “If you believe, then there's no doubt.
