You've got one job — say yes to being used for good.” — John O'Leary “Brian, you taught me years ago to hold on to relationships as if they're precious and not to use them to get the next speech or sell the next house or earn the next transaction, but to love the one in front of you sincerely for them.” — John O'Leary itsagoodlife.com Hosted on Acast.

Jerry Trupiano spent nearly 15 years in the Red Sox radio booth and called the team's historic 2004 World Series victory, ironically in his hometown of St. Louis. Trupiano attended St. Louis University and grew up learning from legendary Cardinals broadcaster Jack Buck. Prior to his time in Boston, Jerry was a sports talk show host for 14 years in Houston and did play-by-play for all of the city's professional teams.Early in his radio career, he gave a University of Houston student named Jim Nantz his first job in sports broadcasting.

Long before Steve Jobs put a device in our hands that lets us mindlessly tap away - giving the illusion of purpose while we wait and a tool to avoid any interaction whatsoever with strangers – I found myself seated alone at a lunch counter awkwardly waiting for my burger, fries and root beer. While watching the cook throw burgers on the grill, I heard behind me the unmistakable and unparalleled voice of Jack Buck belt out: “I didn't know you had such a refined palate.” Jack was a Hall of Fame broadcaster, the voice of the St. Louis Cardinals and the biggest celebrity in our city. Additionally, he was a significant reason I survived a fire as a child, had been incredibly generous to me in the years since it and undoubtedly had altered the entire course of my life. He walked over, patted me on the back, asked if the stool next to me was taken and sat down. And so began this unexpected lunch with my hero. Let me explain.
