Then, Norm tells his story about working at The Coconut Grove Hotel when Bobby Kennedy was shot. Finally, Adam gets into Norm's success story originating from a job at local TV station KCOP and eventually chronicling his time through radio and ending on his creation of Podcast One.
This week, Adam is joined by marriage & family therapist, as well as the life coach for the NBA?s Detroit Piston, Dr. Corey Yeager. Adam kicks off the show by dissecting the 40 conversations Dr. Yeager has come up with to have with yourself, and in turn Dr. Yeager is able to help Adam find his genius, his instinct to win or lose, and they figure out the over internalizing and externalizing happening in people do today. Adam also explores Corey's athletic background, which turns into the importance of giving yourself, and engaging in tasks, and deciphering 'the process'.
