Customer Reviews
Great Podcast
Telling of his own trials and tribulations and having his guests share theirs, Brady is doing all he can to help others not fall into the same traps while trying to lift others up. It truly is amazing to hear the stories and cautionary tales, as well as paths to recovery and supporting those who are in trying times. Yes, Brady and most of his guests come from the hockey world, but this is something that transcends hockey!! Keep up all the great work Brady!
Host is likeable
Needs to work on interview prep
