Carson Lee is a professional baseball player and creator of the apparel company, One Percent Athletics. In this episode, you’ll hear from someone who approaches life & business in the same way he approaches baseball—with a plan of attack.
I found Carson to be humble, thoughtful & curious. At a crossroads in his life, he’s trying to decide whether or not to continue his playing career overseas. And I gave him my not-so-loosely held opinion.
As a pro baseball player & former Boston Red Sox bat boy, he gives great perspective on the Astros cheating scandal. We also discuss our playing days and why chics love baseball players.
