Episode 3: Wrestling With Learning — Joe Malugian’s Story

“Welcome back to the LD Lee Podcast. Today’s episode is a pretty special one for me, because we’re coming to you from the wrestling room at Independence High School—just a few steps away from the classrooms where my guest and I grew up together.Joe Malugian and I were classmates, and Joe’s one of those guys you don’t forget. He’s big, strong and athletic, with an even bigger smile and an even bigger heart. He’s kind, genuine, fiercely loyal, and just one of those people you’re glad to know.But just like me, school wasn’t always easy for Joe. Today we’re going to talk about learning differently, growing up together, the struggles nobody always saw—and how those experiences helped shape the men we became.So from the wrestling room, welcome my old classmate and my friend, Joe Malugian, to the LD Lee Podcast.”
