Summary
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.
