Gregg Olson was a relief pitcher who played for 14 years in the Major Leagues.

Gregg was a member of 10 MLB teams during his playing career, but it is as a member of the Baltimore Orioles where Olson enjoyed the most success and is a member of the team's Hall of Fame. Gregg is also a member of the National College Baseball Hall of Fame as well as being a member of the Nebraska High School Hall of Fame along with his dad, famed 35 years high school coach, Bill Olson.
Aaron Epstein is the founder of Coney Island Saucery, specializing in premium hot sauces. Aaron's fondest childhood memories were of trips to Coney Island with his dad and brother. Aaron's hot sauces are exceptional and he has teamed up with the actors from the Trailer Park Boys as they are now the faces of his hot sauces. We discuss his food journey and the way he has conducted his business to get it to the place it is now in a very highly competitive market.

Scott Kingdon is an exceptional writer who has chosen to write the biography of one of the greatest and most likeable players to ever don a Major League Baseball uniform, Tony Gwynn. The book is Tony Gwynn: The Baseball Life of Mr. Padre and it provides a wonderful look into the personal life and career of the man who spent his entire professional baseball career with the San Diego Padres. He stands second only to Ty Cobb in batting titles and consecutive .300-plus seasons. As a coach, he preached the Gwynn gospel to his players: do it right, do it with class, and respect others and the game. We thank Scott for this outstanding book on a player we thoroughly enjoyed watching.
