This week I am joined by Brett Lorin. Brett is a former professional baseball player turned successful entrepreneur, and host of the Too Tall Sports podcast. I wanted to have Brett on because his story is very similar to mine. However, when it comes to stature, we're VERY different. Brett was blessed with the one thing any pitcher would love to have ... height. Standing 6 ' 7, Brett looks like the prototypical pitcher and his journey includes a successful career in minor league baseball. Despite the success, that one last call up to the "Big Leagues" never came. Today, Brett has successfully transitioned into Chapter 2 of his life, something that is extremely difficult for many pro athletes. Brett is living out the entrepreneurial life in solar sales as well as a past stint growing a Jimmy Johns franchise. In this episode Brett and I talk about his journey through high school and college sports and the feeling of coming up just one call short of Major League Baseball. THIS EPISODE IS FOR ANY ATHLETE OR BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL transitioning to the next phase in life and looking for clues to do it successfully.
