Jedd Fisch joins his lifelong friend Jay Schwedelson to share the raw, unfiltered truth about surviving a massive health crisis and turning a catastrophic sports program into a national powerhouse. Expect some wild stories about leaving notes on a legendary coach's car for a job and why showing up for your friends matters more than anything else.
