Jonah Keri came on the podcast in December and he was a fantastic guest. He was so good, that I wanted to re-publish this episode for all the new listeners to the show. He's a writer at ESPN's Grantland, NY Times best-selling author, and one of the smarter minds around baseball analytics in journalism. We get into a lot o great topics here.  Specifically how he started his journalism career, where he got his first big break as a writer, and how Bill Simmons picked him to write for Grantland.  Side note, I interviewed him when Bill Simmons still worked for ESPN, so I wasn't able to ask him about Bill's recent exit!

Jonah Keri is a NY Times best-selling author, sports writer for ESPN's Grantland, and told me some fantastic stories on this week's show.  He has been a paid journalist his entire professional life and he details his journey as a writer. Jonah dives into how he started his podcast, writes his best-selling books, and how he wound-up working for Bill Simmons at Grantland. Great Jonah Keri quotes: “Somebody is always paying attention to what you’re doing somewhere.” "One of my favorite quotes is by Branch Rickey: 'Luck is the residue of design.'  Meaning you need a lot of luck in life, but if you work hard and you have a baseline level of skill - things will come to you." What you'll learn from this episode: Jonah's book writing process, how long it takes him to research and interview subjects   How his girlfriend helped him get back into baseball during Major League Baseball's '94-'95 season How he bookd early guests like Rickey Henderson, Evan Longoria, and Death Cab's Ben Gibbard for his podcast The story behind his first job as a sports writer How posting on baseball message boards helped him land his first book deal How he connected with Bill Simmons to start writing for Grantland  Connect with us: Find me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ryanjwill/ Stories from The Influencer Economy website:  http://www.influencereconomy.com Connecti with Jonah: Jonah writes on Grantland:  http://grantland.com Find Jonah on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/jonahkeri Joah Keri’s “Extra 2%” NY Times Best-seller: http://amzn.to/dmz0hk  His new Montreal Expose book “Up Up & Away!”  goo.gl/EwWQtS   

Wesley Morris writes about film, pop culture, sports, fashion, and politics. Currently at ESPN's Grantland, Morris previously wrote for The Boston Globe, where he received a Pulitzer for his film reviews. Wesley's love for film is palpable in his writing, but he also examines films in the context of what's going on in society. His reviews have been tremendously helpful, if not cathartic, in synthesizing what is going on on screen and off. Our interview was taped live at Joe's Pub.
