This is another episode where someone was recommended to me by the past guest. Coach Cooks used to be Shae McNamara from all the way back to episode 7‘s basketball coach, and Shae said he had an amazing story and would be a great guest. He was right for sure!

Here is a video Coach Cooks sent me to share along with his story!
