As a sportscaster on ESPN and ABC for three and a half decades, I can’t tell you how many times a week someone asks me “Fowler, Who you got?” (I think most of them are seeking tips on their football or tennis bets!). These days I tell them “I’ve got” a roster of great guests sharing their stories, passions, and life experiences. This isn’t a sports podcast, but you’ll recognize many of my friends from the sports world. Wherever this pod takes us (humor, music, travel, wellness, reinvention, happiness, fulfillment… who knows?) I think you’ll find the topics intriguing and inspiring. But no politics! So thanks for listening. And here’s who I’ve Got…
