When I was in Zambia, one kid was like my shadow. If I turned around, his eyes were locked on me. I felt like Michael Jordan (maybe sans charisma and all the talent). That’s because when I was 12 years old and MJ was on WGN, I’d stop and watch his every move, even yelling
Prague Castle, Lil Wayne, New Orleans

Wisdom & Insight from a Former Olympian Sprinter with Coach Pow (Round 2)
You asked for it. We delivered. Because after Emmanuel Paris’ first appearance on the podcast, our ‘socials’ were flooded with DMs from listeners who couldn’t get enough of his wisdom and insight.
