Everybody Pulls The Tarp

This week Andrew welcomes longtime baseball writer Ken Davidoff back to the podcast. For 30+ years, Ken lived his childhood dream of being a sportswriter. Then, at age 50, he decided it was time for a change and stepped down from his role as a baseball columnist at the New York Post. Now, Ken is an adjunct professor and the co-author of the new book 101 Lessons From The Dugout: What Baseball & Softball Can Teach Us About The Game Of Life. This conversation is a deep dive on Ken’s decision to walk away from the job he dreamed about having as a kid – and an exploration of many simple (yet powerful) life lessons Ken shares in his book. This episode is filled with important wisdom everybody needs to hear. ** Follow Andrew **Instagram: @AndrewMoses123X: @andrewhmosesSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletterDISCLAIMER: This podcast is solely for educational & entertainment purposes.

With the 2026 Olympics in Milan Cortina upon us, Andrew re-shares his conversation with Olympic gold medalist Nick Baumgartner. In 2022, Nick won Olympic gold at the age of 40 years old — becoming the oldest medalist in Olympic snowboard history. Along the way, Nick worked summer jobs pouring concrete to fund his Olympic dreams & lived out of an old construction van to reduce his commute time to training. When he didn’t have access to his training facilities due to pandemic travel restrictions, Nick spent 30-hours building a track in his yard. Nick’s story is a shining example of what’s possible when we live the Everybody Pulls The Tarp mindset — and are willing to do whatever it takes to reach our goals. ** Follow Andrew **Instagram: @AndrewMoses123X: @andrewhmosesSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletterDISCLAIMER: This podcast is solely for educational & entertainment purposes.
