Ep. 63-Sports, Family, and Community—my conversation with lifelong friends Andre Hardy and Yogi

Andre Hardy and Yogi have been friends since childhood. In this conversation, we discuss how they met and how sports, family, and community—three of the things that have mattered most in my own life—brought them together and kept them together through the years. They touch on their high school and college athletic careers, and Andre's career as an NFL running back. Both men are great husbands, fathers, and grandfathers; we talk about the seriousness and importance of fatherhood and their shared feelings about breaking the cycle of absent fathers in their families. Last but not least, we reminisce together about the good old days in the neighborhood, with its legendary games and characters—Highland Park, the Little Neighborhood, and Hoover High, here in San Diego, CA.
