This week I sat down with ESPN's long time anchor Jay Harris. A figure I looked up to since my Freshman year in college (2003) which was the same year Mr. Harris joined ESPN's team.
We talked about his break into the industry and how it changed his career. Jay also broke down a story of Manny Ramirez while recording a commercial, talked greatest of all time basketball players, and also gave solid advice to those seeking a career path!
