March Madness, Visual Acuity, Uncomfortable Conversations

About this episode

In this episode, Brad shares his experiences from March Madness in Lake Charles, discusses visual acuity for baseball players, and addresses important parenting conversations.

In this episode, I share my trip to Lake Charles for March Madness. I met up with former guest, Michael D'Albor, at L'Auberge, which has a sportsbook & heated pools. Lake Charles is an ideal place to meet my Louisiana friends—I could see doing this for March Madness an annual thing. Then I get into visual acuity and its importance, especially for baseball players. I talk about having uncomfortable but necessary conversations with my kid. For example, what to do if she were to get lost. I often see parenting as a balance of short-term discomfort for long-term benefit—especially as it pertains to kids' safety. I also touch on MLB call-ups, TSA agents, profiling at airports. I talk about the Bachelorette scandal, the impact the Iran situation on crude oil & markets, Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand, and much more.
