I watch the Pivot all the time because I learn so much about people that I would not normally research. So glad you all step out of the box and interview people not only in sports but in other areas of life. Good job!

I met him in Atlanta before the lights, camera and stardom at a showcase. I was the photographer and I told him that I had been watching his social media blow up. He was so regular and humble. We laughed and talked like we knew each other forever.
