Ep. 30 Reggie "Mr. October" Jackson, MLB Hall of Fame Inductee Talks About His Entrepreneurship Beginnings

Reggie Jackson aka "Mr. October," Major League Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee, shares intimate stories for the very first time, during an in-person interview to JinJa Birkenbeuel, The Honest Field Guide, about his journey from childhood, to a New York Yankee, to becoming the first professional ball player turned entrepreneur while he was still playing ball, back in the 70s, during a tumultuous time of extreme racial hatred. Reggie, the businessman, passionately tells us how he is still fighting to ensure Black people and in particular Black and brown children, through his Mr. October Foundation, gain access to the millions of opportunities in technology fields in the USA. --- The Honest Field Guide is a production of brand strategy and visual identity agency Birk Creative at http://www.birkcreative.com.
