On this week's show, I interview Anthony Scandariato, co-founder of Red Knight Properties, and host of the Discovering Multifamily Podcast. I had the pleasure of speaking on his show so was happy to reciprocate. We start off the conversation by talking about how podcasts can leverage your presence in the market and help build great relationships. Maybe you'll consider starting your own podcast after listening! Anthony graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Economics and Management . While at school, he had the entrepreneurial drive so co-founded Ridgeview Partners that sold college apparel at over 110 retailers within the first-year operations. After a year, he decided he was looking for something more permanent so learned the real estate business at Vision Properties, where he was an Acquisitions & Asset Manager VP for their nationwide Class A office assets. He later said that his experience in those markets would help him branch out to build his own nationwide portfolio. Anthony recounts how he started with a 2 family and ultimately built up a 70 unit portfolio with his partner Brian Leonard, who played 8 years in the NFL. After they established a track record, they brought on outside investors for their first large scale acquisition of a 51 unit apartment building in Northern NJ. After selling, they have now parlayed it into a 1,000+ unit portfolio in NJ, NY, PA, FL, Ohio, and Alabama. There are some great lessons to learn from this podcast from the importance to being hands on to keeping your investors updated on a monthly basis. He states that there may never be a perfect time to start your own portfolio, but planning is essential to hit the ground running.

Season 1 featured our first 50 episodes, 20 of which were guest episodes. In today's episode we're going to recap our key takeaways from each guest episode in season 1.Our first guest episode featured Lauren Sanborn, Director of RevOps at CallRail. She recently moved over to DataRobot, an AI cloud platform for Data Scientists.  Aside from leaving us with several marketing and sales alignment tips, my favorite takeaway from Lauren was to not be so hard on yourself if you don't know what you don't want to do (for work). Her advice was to get out there and try different things so you can start to mark off what you don't like. Eventually you'll find something that you love.”Our next guest in episode 07 featured one of our most senior and perhaps most accomplished guest, Brian Leonard, former co-founder of TaskRabbit and now CEO of Grouparoo (recently acquired by Airbyte).Brian went pretty deep on the relationship with marketing and engineering and my favorite takeaway was that marketers and engineers shouldn't think of themselves as doing completely different things inside a company. At the end of the day, both groups are there to move the needle on the business. So the best way to think of it is to come together to power the right stack.Instead of pitching to product, marketing needs this, pitch it as, the company needs this and this is how it will benefit everyone. For example, marketing attribution isn't a marketing or a marketing ops thing. It's a company thing.Next up was our boy Nick Donaldson in episode 10, fresh off a new consulting gig at Perkuto. Another marketer who's moved on to another company, he's now running Marketing Operations at Knak. Nick is wise beyond his years and my favorite takeaway from our chat with him was that the number 1 skill to succeed in marketing ops is curiosity. Early in your career Google and twitter are your best friends. There's so many smart people that have been in your shoes and are nice enough to share those insights. Find them. Read them. Learn from them.So 10 episodes in and we already had a RevOps Director, a CEO and founder and a consultant. We also had a Professor. In episode 11 we were joined by friend of the show Jonathan Simon.This might have been controversial amongst his peers at the University but we're happy to report he's still in his current gig (lol). My favorite takeaway from our chat with Jonathan is that you don't need a degree to have a successful and happy career in marketing anymore. More than anything, marketers need to be adaptable to changing tech and strive to be lifelong learners. He talked a lot about side hustles and starting something, in his course he actually gets all his students to start a blog and build something during their time there.Episode 17 featured Ottawa native Julie Beynon who leads analytics at Clearbit. Things got technical pretty fast but I think Julie did an awesome job introducing data warehousing and making it seem a lot less intimidating.My favorite takeaway was when she explained that a DWH doesn't have row limits and isn't limited by your laptop's CPU. She loves a Google sheet as much as any data driven marketer, but at some point, startups need to upgrade from that clunkiness to a data warehouse solution.It's been fun seeing the martech landscape shift from; APIs for everything and we integrate with all your tools to – we build on top of your data warehouse or we connect natively to Big Query.Keeping to the data theme, we had Steffen Heddebrandt in episode 19. Still almost a year later he's trashing Google Analytics on LinkedIn (lol). He's the co-founder of Dreamdata, an attribution solution for B2B startups and SMBs.Attribution still gets a bad rep, we heard Corey trash it in season 2, but Steffen has solved big pieces of this puzzle at his startup. My favorite takeaway from our convo was when he declared that when it comes to revenue attribution, GA is basically close to useless for B2B companies. Multi touch attribution software does sound like magic when you've tried to orchestrate it yourself, but give Dreamdata a spin if you're still skeptical about it.Episode 25 featured Naomi Liu, Director of Global Marketing Ops at EFI. Naomi spends some of her time mentoring future marketing ops leaders and was hiring for an entry level marketer on her team at the time so we centered our conversation around how to ace your first marketing job.My favorite takeaway was when Naomi said that new marketers should be asking lots of questions. Be that annoying kid in the back seat asking all of the questions.Episode 27 featured friend of the show and local Ottawa social media maven Erin Blaskie. She recently made the switch from leading marketing at Fellow to go back to freelancing as a fractional CMO.My favorite takeaway was when we asked her how marketers should choose between the freelance route and working in house. She thinks everyone should try both. Throw out everyone else's definition of success and make your own by trying different things. Big company, startup, agency, freelance, give them all a shot.In episode 37, we had another manager who was hiring on her team. Shannon McCluskey leads marketing ops at Clio and my favorite takeaway was when she described the role of marketing ops.We are not order takers, we're active consultants designing our own destiny. Sometimes we need to evaluate solutions our partners haven't thought of. We don't always say yes to every request we're given.Episode 39 featured co founder and CEO of Kank Peirce Ujainwalla. A well known face in the martech scene, we asked him to weigh in on the html vs text debate for emails.He said it's important to do a mix of both. Text emails have that personal feel, but HTML is still super important for all your visual users and telling your brand story.Episode 41 featured another local Ottawa and social media expert and now head of marketing at Fellow – Manuela Barcenas. She's also a productivity nut and my favorite takeaway was when she said that her biggest productivity superpower is knowing what to work on when you open your laptop in the morning. Time blocking and planning your week ahead of time by scheduling tasks and deep focus blocks.In episode 44, friend of the show Roxanne Pepin from Rewind chatted with us about her role in Technology operations. Like Shannon she had hot thoughts about the role of marketing and tech ops.She said that while everything is doable, it doesn't mean you should do it. Question the importance of your requests. Let them stew for a couple of days just to determine if it's really as important now as it was two days ago.Another Ottawa local favorite, episode 46 featured Danica Bateman who was marketing automation manager at Net2phone at the time and has recently joined Unbabel, a translation service company.She said marketing automation was the perfect bridge between marketing and sales. Get customer insights from your sales team and put that into your funnel to build an automation engine around customer empathy. Finally, episode 47 featured our last guest interview, Vladlena Mitskaniouk who heads up Marketing at Snyk. She sells a complicated product for developers but that doesn't scare her from learning her industry and the product.We asked her what marketers should start by doing when they join a new company. She said that if you don't know your product you won't be able to market it. Learn your product, it's the most important thing to do first. Then learn the people you work with and learn your customers.Be sure to catch season 2 guest episodes featuring big names in marketing including Corey Haines, Samar Owais, Mike King, Adriana Gil Miner, Dave Rigotti, and many more!

Tech leaders are life-long learners, and as such, they have their fair share of experience accrued through good, but also many bad experiences. In the crazy world of tech, burning out is not uncommon, but more often than not, it can be a lesson – which once learned, can help you become a real driving force, a leader. One such leader is Brian Leonard, CEO at Grouparoo, who sat down with us to share his journey in the tech world, what he does now, and spill some advice on leadership and teams that will definitely be worth its weight in gold. Key takeaways: • Why creating teams is like creating a functioning marriage between strategy, vision, and direction • The reverse ETL – how collecting data and using it to create concepts can help growth • How focus on I/we/it is important, and while the ‘it' seems the more important, the I and we actually define it Our Guest: Brian Leonard LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianl429/ Website: https://www.grouparoo.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/bleonard Intro and background music: Craig MacArthur - Power Shutoff (www.youtube.com/watch?v=x74iB_jtauw)

Reverse ETL is a product category that evolved from the landscape of customer data platforms with a number of companies offering their own implementation of it. While struggling with the work of automating data integration workflows with marketing, sales, and support tools Brian Leonard accidentally discovered this need himself and turned it into the open source framework Grouparoo. In this episode he explains why he decided to turn these efforts into an open core business, how the platform is implemented, and the benefits of having an open source contender in the landscape of operational analytics products.

HUGE thank you to all of our awesome guests. In celebration of our 50th episode, we're rounding up all the answers to the most important question we asked every single one of our guests: what advice do they have on how they've managed to balance everything life throws at them and how they stay happy and sane at work.This is our 50th episode. Most of our episodes were actually just the two of us, jamming on a topic. Sometimes we went deep in a technical topic like email deliverability or lifecycle. Sometimes we talked about the people skills, working in tech, working remote. 15 of our 50 episodes had guest interviews. We showcased martech folks from different roles and seniority levels. But for each of our guests, we finished by asking the same question: What advice do you have on how to balance everything life throws at you and how do you stay happy and sane at work?Our guests share their answers back to back, time stamps below:02:00 - Lauren Sanborn (05: Happiness at the intersection of sales & marketing)"Happiness is all about your perspective, 25% your situation and 75% how you look at it." 05:22 - Brian Leonard (07: Be friends with engineering with open source Martech)"The secret of autonomy and purpose is to work on something that is important. Find a way to write your own job description so that it lines up with your purpose and mastery."06:16 - Nick Donaldson (10: Curiosity, learning & success in your MOPs career)"Prioritize your family and your friends. Turn off notifications outside work hours and dedicate time to doing things you enjoy." 07:40 - Jonathan Simon (11: Do you still need a degree to have success in marketing?)"It's hard. Exercise and mental health is incredibly important. Pick up hobbies, do what makes you happy, find time for yourself." 11:02 - Julie Beynon (17: Making marketing analytics not intimidating)"You have to be proactive. You're the only person that owns your happiness. If you're not happy, you need to fix it, not someone else."13:10 - Steffen Hedebrandt (19: Reaching B2B attribution nirvana)"Having a kid makes you become really good at prioritizing. I ask myself, does this make me happy or does this correlate with more revenue yes or no?" 14:40 - Naomi Liu (25: How to ace your first marketing job)"Tech is my love language, and I get a lot of satisfaction using it to solve other peoples problems both in my personal life and business."15:08 - Melissa Ledesma (26: Melissa Ledesma: Women of Martech)"I encourage you to step away and talk to your friends about your job. They will not understand a word of what you're saying, and let them show you their own excitement and absorb that. There's so much more for us to be invigorated by if we take a moment to remember what we're actually doing." 16:45 - Erin Blaskie (27: Startup marketing, in-house vs freelance)"Ditch everyone else's definition of success. Nobody cares that you drive a BMW and it likely won't amount to additional happiness. Focus on what would make you feel successful as a person and don't be afraid of having a non linear path." 19:11 - Shannon McCluskey (37: Searching for remote martech pros)"Ever since I've become a mom I've been learning by necessity and actively keeping my working hours 9-5. Remote work is always around the corner but it's important to get that distance to make sure you connect with family."20:37 - Pierce Ujjainwalla (39: Creativity in marketing is under attack)"I never work past 5. I never work on the weekends. I attribute happiness to pleasure and challenges. Pleasure is golfing and skiing and I find a lot of challenge in my work but also some hobbies. Lawn care gives me a mental break. Digging out weeds is very relaxing." 22:33 - Manuela Barcenas (41: From first marketer to team manager)"To stay balanced and happy, find activities that make you feel good, block time in your calendar for specific tasks and get into journaling."24:38 - Roxanne Pepin (44: Startups and the ability to learn RevOps)"Having a separate space in your house for where you work. Being able to “leave” and not have to bring your work with you in other places of your house. Oh and take Slack off your phone!"26:54 - Danica Bateman (46: A day in the life of a Marketing Automation Manager)"Surround yourself with positive people. People that are invested in your success and want to see you grow and thrive." 27:48 - Vladlena Mitskaniouk (47: Grow your marketing career one data mystery at a time)"Acknowledge that things came in waves. When the clam is there, really embrace those moments. Don't always try and push yourself through every moment. Book vacation well ahead of time and check out. Book time for your lunch, book time for your workouts, book time in the morning to do a checkin with yourself. No one else is going to save that time for you.

I’ve known Brian since he started as a standup in San Francisco. I SEE YOU is a documentary he made about connecting with elders suffering from Alzheimer’s and Dementia through Art Therapy! www.Brian-Leonard.com. Brian lost his father in-law, who was an artist; to Alzheimer’s. His daughter volunteered at a senior center where Art Therapist Erin Partridge used Art to connect with Alzheimer’s patients and people came to life. We also talk about The Hero’s Journey, what to do when you get stuck and the two-way conversation you can have with your thoughts and feelings. Excuse these rambling notes, because Lord, I was Born a Ramblin’ Man. In addition to comedy; Brian is a creative director, writer, and director who has worked with global influencers, clients and companies. We talk about growing up in the Midwest and how he learned to keep his emotions in a duffle bag under a Lucite paperwieight of anxiety and resentment. In this episode, we go all over the mental health map, starting with loneliness and facing feelings, accepting what you’re feeling. Loneliness and isolation are the engines of mental health problems. There’s a feeling of shame in even saying “I’m Lonely.” Jennifer and I also quickly role play how to respond to the voice of Anxiety, that one that tells you everything sucks, you suck and things will never change. Brian also talks about dealing with depression and experiences in therapy, early on dating a therapist who would clinically label his behavior. We also talk about what makes a good therapist, and how a good therapist; is someone who meets you where you are right now. We talk about being real in therapy and how we both have tried to do some entertaining and performing in therapy. And then we talk about storytelling and The Hero’s Journey. Brian uses this concept to teach brands and others how to tell stories in media. How you answer and respond to your own issues in life, that’s a kind of Hero’s Journey; also how finding a mentor can help. This is all Hero’s Journey stuff, and it is the journey of almost every movie. Here’s Joseph Campbell on The Hero’s Jounrney: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIY7eexaGCo, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s28rwnz18j4, What do you do if you feel you feel stuck? Talk to yourself, where thoughts go energy flows. Talk to anxiety, talk to the thoughts, think about general things that you like or love, can change the direction of your thoughts, take a conscious break, walk, move to a different room… all is temporary and all answers are within and stuff.

Brian Leonard co-founded the B2C startup TaskRabbit in 2009 and built its initial prototype coding it in Ruby on Rails, one of our preferred development frameworks.TaskRabbit went on to grow until it was acquired by Swedish powerhouse IKEA in 2017, to expand to Europe and beyond, and a couple of years later, Brian quit the company to pursue his new endeavour: Grouparoo.Brian transitioned from being the CTO and product guy at a B2C startup to co-founding a pure B2B startup based on an open-source model to provide data connectivity between marketing products.Brian tells us how to wear different hats: CEO, CTO, product, sales, and more while running a company effectively and keeping the focus on the product. Brian also spoke with our CEO, Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit, to explain why they followed the open-source approach and how the transition to B2B happened, among other topics like choosing the right technology for your company and how to prototype new projects within a bigger company.This is the first episode with a recorded intro by our CEO, Àlex, so don't be too harsh on him. We'll improve soon.

Video interview: https://youtu.be/boK93LiUZ0U Grouparoo is a software company building open source data tools that make data reliable, accessible, and actionable. We believe that people at companies do their best work when they are able to focus on their areas of expertise, but they struggle because of dependencies on other teams. https://www.grouparoo.com/

You reached out to us to come on and talk about the world of open source martech and other than knowing that Mautic was an OS automation tool, I didn't really know much else about the space.So I've gotten down some rabbit holes prepping for this episode so pumped to dive in with you today. Why don't we start with the big differences between martech and open source martech.I know that normal software does not include the source code while open source does and modifications and customizations are encouraged, but what does that mean in a martech context? Brian: For me, open source is about control and trust.You have the ability to control how your customer data is handled and where it is stored. We've seen this lead to people taking advantage of more data in their marketing efforts.So then, you can see the code. You can control the data. This leads to trust. Only give the external tools what you want to share. Privacy and compliance get easier. We are talking with lots of medical companies, for example.JT: What's the advantage of this business model, like why make Grouparoo Open source vs. the tried and tested SaaS model?Brian: I don't think the world needs another marktech SaaS solution. There are already thousands of those and yet these problems (integrating tools) persist. So we wanted to do something different. We think that working closer to the engineering level (and making it super easy) will disrupt how these tools get implemented.Because there are so many tools to integrate with, open source will also help us build up those connections. We will actively engage with the more popular ones, but it's exciting to see others interested in contributing connections to the long tail of tools.Finally, there is cost. These SaaS solutions tend to be quite expensive and the incentive structure doesn't line up between the company and the SaaS tool. For example, with Segment you send it a lot of events and more or less get charged per event. Then you pair back what you send. But then, later it turns out that you needed that. Doing all of this and owning that data is great for not only for privacy, flexibility, but also for cost.Phil:Martech today has an awesome article on open source tools, I'll add it in the show notes, but in there, they make the case that the Open source model is not ideal for Martech.The most successful open source projects tend to be developer oriented—developers building tools for other developers, but in this case, the end user is often a marketer. I'm guessing you disagree?Brian:It would certainly seem so.When you want to integrate with Marketo, it's the engineers that do that. I've talked with companies with millions of users that have been paying for Braze for a year and haven't automated anything. I've met marketers that come in as CMO and demand tool X because they like it. A few quarters later, it's more like “I just want to send a cart abandonment email! VPE, whatever you want to use is fine.”I think there is a lot lost when we think of marketers and engineers as separate things and not the organization as a whole. The right thing to do is engage with the engineers that power your marketing tech stack. And meet them where they are. Open source helps with that.If we can get the engineers excited about setting up the right architecture in an open way, then it will be easier to get more data later to existing and new tools.JT: Couple years ago Acquia acquired Mautic. They said in their press release that it was the start of a new generation of open source communities and projects to reinvent the martech stack. Do you see an evolution of open source tools in the automation space?Brian: Mautic was an ambitious project to do everything - to replace the tools you are using now. The evolution is about more target solutions.A notable one is that there are even more marketing tools and they specialize, so Mautic would have to do everything. And maybe it didn't do drip campaigns or push better than Iterable.There's a similar trend in the engineering world, especially on data teams. Data teams are growing and getting their own budgets. They are getting their own set of specialized tools. One example is Fivetran. That will store everything from Hubspot in your data warehouse. The missing piece, as we see it, is to make that actionable in the best tools for use cases in an efficient way.Phil:I want to finish with integration of data in between platforms, and I know you guys solve this problem. Adobe Microsoft and SAP launched the Open Data Initiative that aims to standardize data across platforms. The problem still isn't fixed though. If you're using 14 martech tools, chances are several aren't Adobe products.What's the solution?Brian:(open source community, and a standard by which data can flow between any set of systems, not just into one. You need the community to build all the connectors and adaptors between those tools, so you don't have to custom build and code everything.”I'm focused on building out a community around this tool. We won't live or by whether the code works. That's not a problem. The main thing is to make sure we get in front of the people that would benefit from it. We need to get the word out so that when there is this need, Grouparoo is the obvious solution - both for now (easy to get going) and later through self-serve and lots of integrations.To do that we're doing podcasts, blogging, talking with people that are interested in using it, and building out the team.JT: Alright, Brian, what's Grouparoo?Brian:It solves an organizational problem we saw at TaskRabbit. We saw challenges between the product team and other teams that needed our help getting data for them to be successful, for example marketing and customer support. In general, these things don't get prioritized and engineering becomes the bottleneck.We've talked to others and they saw something similar. So we made Grouparoo to sync data from your product database or data warehouse to the tools you use like Salesforce or Zendesk. But we also made it open source and targeted at engineers to get it installed and data flowing. And then we added in ways for those non-engineers to help themselves to the data they need to be successful.This help to solve the organizational problem through empowerment hat kind of autonomy for, say, a marketing operations team.Phil: How does it work?Brran: Grouparoo is open source and up on Github. There are examples of how to get it running on Docker or Heroku or any way that you run a Node app. You run that and point it at your primary data source.What it will do is create a profile for each of our users, starting with their user_id or email or something like that. Then you can keep building out that profile from that or other sources until you have a centralized profile of who that person is with many properties.With those properties, you can do segmentation. We can create dynamic groups of users based on their property values. For example, “High Value Bay Area” customers or “About to Churn” customers. These will always stay updated automatically with the real data.Now we know these properties and group membership about each user. We can sync this data to destinations like Marketo, Salesforce, Hubspot, Zendesk, etc. You choose what you want to sync and it happens. And it keeps happening as the data changes.--Grouparoo.Brian Leonard on LinkedIn.Intro music by Wowa via Unminus

Mike Harbit visits with Nevada Tiger head football coach Wes Beachler and Nevada girls golf coach Brian Leonard on this weeks program

Brian Leonard was the first employee and Co-founder of a company you’ve definitely heard of…Task Rabbit. He and his Co-founder basically pioneered the ‘task’ or ‘local freelance’ market. By definition, “TaskRabbit is an American online and mobile marketplace that matches freelance labor with local demand, allowing consumers to find immediate help with everyday tasks, including cleaning, moving, delivery and handyman work”. After years of success and growth, their team had a successful exit and Brian has since moved on to build his own company, Grouparoo. Grouparoo is an open source data infrastructure to keep customer data in-sync between your data warehouse and 3rd party tools. Essentially, it’s an amazing tool that helps teams work & communicate much better together. Farhaj & I are so excited to have Brian on the show and we hope you enjoy the episode.

In this throwback episode, Brian Leonard & Anthony Scandariato join their friend Jason Yarusi on his podcast to discuss how they got started. Brian specifically talks about his transition from the NFL, and how that carries over into real estate investing today.

Together they started with smaller multifamily properties, they learned how to reposition units, do property management, investor communications, market analysis and within a few years they have scaled into multifamily syndication by networking, learning, working hard and raising capital. visit redknightproperties.com

God is Our Healer - Brian Leonard   God heals to increase our faith   Luke 17:11-17 Jesus Heals Ten Men with Leprosy 11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” 14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. 15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan 17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”   God Heals so that the works of God might be displayed.   John 9 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam”. So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. 8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.” 10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked. 11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”   God still heals today   John 14;12 – Very Truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name. so that the father may be glorified.

This week I am throwing a different type of episode at you guys. A couple weeks back I attended the New Jersey Orthopaedic Institute's Sports Injury Prevention Training camp at Seton Hall Prep in West Orange NJ.  At the camp young athletes learned the proper mechanics and best practices to prevent injuries in their upcoming fall seasons.  The athletes got to hear both current and former NFL players talk about the different ways they took care of or are currently caring for their bodies to optimize longevity throughout their career’s. The NFL players in attendance were retired NFL running back Brian Leonard, current NFL free agent Tim Wright, current Chicago Bears fullback Michael Burton and retired NFL linebacker Kevin Malast. While covering the event, I got the opportunity to interview each of these former Rutgers Football standouts and NFL veterans for about 5 minutes each, which was just enough time to get some great words of wisdom.  In addition I interviewed a couple who brought their two sons to the camp and we hear about Mom’s concerns, but also some of the amazing things football has to offer for their kids and their family as a whole.  The episode concludes with an interview with Dr. Anthony Scillia who taught the athletes about injury prevention from a scientific standpoint. Below are some pictures from the event.
