Episode description

It’s likely that all of you know my guest today but may not immediately recognize his name. He is Patrick Renna but you may know him his most well-known movie roll, Hamilton Porter from The Sandlot.

But Patrick is so much more than the young kid we saw on the movie screen over 30 years ago. Today, Patrick and I talk about struggles people we put on pedestals face, pivoting in life but doing it in something you’re passionate about, how Hollywood has changed and how it will continue to do so, striking the balance between giving your kids opportunities and letting them struggle, and what we can learn both on and off the baseball diamond.
