Episode 22: Interview with Nick Diunte @examinebaseball Part 1

For this episode I sat down with my man Nick Diunte. What initially was what I thought was going to be a discussion about perseverance/hard work, and personal finance/investment, wound up turning into an old school phone call between teenagers that went on and on. Nick and I chopped it up on quite a few things. We did cover the aforementioned perseverance/hard work, as evidenced by his successfully walking on to 2 college baseball teams and the lessons he carried over into other parts of his life, but we also talked about how to support your children after tough performances or losses, how to nurture their loves and passions, the competitiveness, expense, and sometimes shadiness of the youth sports scene at the higher levels. Nick also dropped tons of information on how to get your financial house in order, where to gather info on investing and investing strategies, overall investment theories, good resources for beginners, and other topics in the investment realm that merit further research like tax implications, investor fees, etc.  This interview was packed with so much info I had to break it into 2 parts. Part 1 covers the perseverance/hard work, parenting aspects and part 2 covers the finance. You don't want to miss either!
