22 - Taking A Break?

We start off talking about Kyrie Irving and how he has taken a “pause” by missing 7 games in a row for personal reasons. At what level is that acceptable? Is it ok to take time off as a professional? What about people who aren't of that stature?

We dive into family dynamics and how having a solid family foundation leads to better communication, teamwork, and patience.

When you work with a team you start to understand that sometimes you have to do whatever it takes to win.
