The Tim Ferriss Show posted episode #332, Coach George Raveling — A Legend on Sports, Business, and The Great Game of Life
Again, the Tim Ferriss network of networks connects this exceptional podcaster/interviewer with another amazing individual. In episode #332, Tim speaks with George Raveling. Who is George? Only an 80 year old man who viewed his Grandmother as infallible, was offered the opportunity to attend a catholic boarding school, earned a basketball scholarship to Villanova, possesses a sizable and rare collection of 19th and 20th century racist memorabilia (figurines, postcards etc.), coached the 1984 Olympic basketball practice squad of college players (which beat the Dream Team in their opening scrimmage), a passionate and veracious reader/note taker, possessor of the original copy of Dr. King’s, “I have a dream” speaking notes (given to him by Dr. King himself), author of several books on the art of basketball rebounding, and possessing a long and distinguished experience with the transformation of Nike (from college sponsorship to the creation of Jordan brand).
This is a podcast that should not be missed! There is something for almost everyone in this discussion, and so much more. You will not be disappointed.
