“Heard But Never Seen” with ESPN’s Jay Reynolds

Today’s guest is one of the most recognizable voices in sports, but even his diehard fans wouldn’t know it if they were standing in line next to him.

Jay Reynolds has anchored ESPN SportsCenter radio for over two decades.

We met years ago when his kids signed up for a community magic class I was teaching, and we’ve been friends ever since.

In this episode Jay opens up about what it’s like to be a famous person who rarely gets recognized in the real world, how he went from being an average but passionate athlete as a kid to a renowned career in broadcast journalism, what coaching youth athletics taught him about life, parenting, and education, and how to connect with millions of listeners you can’t even see as if they’re the only person in the room.

Every interaction is meaningful. Every person we meet is important.

Welcome to the One New Person podcast, where we engage in long-form conversations with leaders in every field to discover the chance encounters and relationships that paved their way to success.

Brian’s guests represent the best of humanity: successful people doing meaningful work and creating a better world for everyone they meet.
