]]> Audio 99 podcasts@qcodemedia.com Akil Baddoo of the Milwaukee Brewers Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Akil Baddoo joins Yeardley Smith for a candid and joyful conversation about confidence, resilience, and learning how to stay grounded through the inevitable highs and lows of professional baseball. Akil traces his love of the game back to hitting baseballs with his dad in the backyard, breaking a window before he was even old enough for Little League, and hitting his first home run at five years old. He talks about the confidence his mother instilled in him, knowing from a young age that he wanted to play professionally, and why he never believed in having a backup plan. He also opens up about the setbacks that tested that confidence, including Tommy John surgery, a grueling rehabilitation, the loss of his brother, and the uncertainty of what would come next. Akil shares how journaling, meditation, and learning to control his thoughts helped him through those moments and prepared him for an unforgettable start to his Major League career: a home run on the first pitch he saw, followed by a grand slam and a walk-off hit in his first three games. They also talk about handling failure in a sport where even the best players fail most of the time, staying connected to the joy that made him love baseball in the first place, and the importance of family, community, and his Ghanaian and Trinidadian roots. Plus, Akil shares why he opened The Fade Lounge in Atlanta, his plans to give back to his former high school, and his lesser-known talent for roller skating. Then Akil takes on the Last At-Bat, answering rapid-fire questions about his favorite Beyoncé song, the toughest pitcher he has ever faced, the career he might have pursued outside of baseball, his 200-pair sneaker collection, and the person he trusts most in the world.

]]> 5625 Alec Ingold of the Los Angeles Chargers Los Angeles Chargers fullback Alec Ingold joins Yeardley Smith for a candid conversation about embracing change, finding purpose in adversity, and what happens when the path forward looks nothing like the one you planned. Just before their original interview date, Alec was released by the Miami Dolphins. Days later, he had signed with the Chargers and was preparing to begin again. He shares what those uncertain days felt like, how he processed the disappointment, and why the inner work he had already done became essential when everything suddenly changed. Alec also opens up about being adopted, becoming a perfectionist at a young age, and the lifelong fear that he might be someone’s second choice. He explains how that idea eventually took on a new meaning, and why he now believes the second choice can sometimes be the perfect one. They also discuss going undrafted, redefining his dream of playing in the NFL, controlling your second thought when self-doubt creeps in, and his work helping young people build skills that extend far beyond the scoreboard through the Ingold Family Foundation.
