How far are you willing to go when the odds are stacked against you? In this incredible mashup, you'll hear from some of the most inspiring voices, including Sean Casey, who prove that relentless effort and perseverance can change everything. From facing rejection in high school to becoming an MLB All-Star, Sean's journey is a testament to what happens when you refuse to give up—especially when no one believes in you. We break down Sean's story of growing up without the accolades or the attention of scouts, feeling like he was overlooked and underestimated. But instead of letting that defeat him, Sean doubled down, putting in the work day after day in a local batting cage, grinding until he became a player no one could ignore. He shares how his father's advice to “be accountable and put in the work” became the guiding principle that pushed him through the tough times when no one was watching and no opportunities seemed to come his way. It's not just about talent; it's about showing up when no one else is willing to. Alongside Sean's journey, you'll hear insights from Nick Santonastasso, who redefined what's possible by overcoming his physical limitations, and Grant Cardone, who emphasizes the importance of playing offense in life—creating your own opportunities instead of waiting for someone else to hand them to you. These stories will light a fire inside you, showing that with persistence, you can break through any obstacle. Here's what you'll learn: - How to turn rejection into fuel for success - Why your daily habits shape your future - The importance of "playing offense" and creating your own opportunities - Real-life examples of persistence leading to extraordinary outcomes This episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you push past your current limits, take control of your destiny, and build a future you deserve. Sean Casey's story reminds us all that success isn't about immediate recognition—it's about the relentless pursuit of your goals, even when no one is watching. It's a masterclass in perseverance, showing how hard work and dedication can transform not just your career, but your entire life. No matter where you are in your journey, this episode will inspire you to dig deeper, push harder, and keep going until the breakthrough happens. When life gets tough, remember that persistence isn't just a strategy—it's the key to unlocking your fullest potential.

RUNDOWN It's a rough week in Seattle sports, with the Mariners eliminated, the Huskies losing to Rutgers, the Cougars being dominated by a top running back, and the Seahawks falling to the Lions. Jed Fisch's mounting criticism is no big win either [let's read some listener emails]. Mitch and Hotshot also discuss the Seahawks' upcoming game against the New York Giants, labeling it as a crucial win for the Seahawks. They emphasized the importance of securing a victory before facing tougher opponents like the 49ers, Falcons, Bills, and Rams in the following weeks. Mitch and Jacson Bevens from "Cigar Thoughts" discuss the Seattle Seahawks' recent 42-29 loss to the Detroit Lions highlighting some defensive struggles due to missing key players and the dominance of Lions' quarterback Jared Goff.

Rick Neuheisel on college football; starting with a recap of Rick's successful betting streak, where he achieved a 3-1 record in his recent picks. They focus on the Alabama vs. Georgia game, analyzing Alabama's Jalen Milroe and Georgia's defensive effort.

They discuss officiating challenges and their implications for the College Football Playoff system. It's the end of the Seattle Mariners' 2024 season.
