We're back! As an entrepreneur and writer, self-improvement has always been incredibly important to Darrin Donnelly. Hence, after many reads, he became irritated by what he calls the "phony self-advice" that just wasn't working. So Darrin turned to what he now believes is the most reliable resource for self-improvement: "life advice from the greatest minds in sports." Which is why Darrin started the wildly popular Sports for the Soul Series, a collection of books (that keeps on growing) focused on feeding your mind with positive stories and inspiration. I've been fortunate enough to read these books and have the absolute pleasure of having him on for the 20th episode. Enjoy!

Paul Annacone is one of the top tennis coaches in the industry today. He's coached some of the greatest tennis players of all-time in Roger Federer and Pete Sampras, and is a master at understanding the transition from player to coach. Paul was a mainstay on the ATP tour, where he won the Australian Open doubles title in 1985. Now working with World #33 Taylor Fritz, Annacone understands the always evolving aspect of tennis. It's my pleasure to have him on the 18th episode of The KO'D Convo.

"Yea bro you're from Jersey son!" And thus, JerzeySon was born. Jerz is a Nigerian-American artist who's music comes from a collective of different cultures and sounds. He uses his own experiences of growing up in Nigeria, the UK and the States to craft lyrics that not only represent him, but others as well. He has been most recently featured on MTV Base West and just dropped his music video for his latest single, Callin'. Definitely go check him out as he's worth a listen, and I'm beyond excited to have him on for Episode 17. Enjoy!

Growing up in Albury, Australia, Craig O'Shannessy was like any other kid. He would run home from school and go outside. What was different about Craig was that he would grab his tennis racket on the way out. That love of tennis as a young boy never left his side, leading him to become the World #1 in terms of tennis strategy. He has coached some of the top players, including current World #1 Novak Djokovic, and is featured at all of the big tournaments. And, his strategies may as well change the sport forever. As a former tennis player and huge fan, I got the perfect guest for the 16th episode. Enjoy!

At just 23 years old, Aaron Bennington has already experienced life in a way that people dream about. He owns his own Paintball league in the Midwest, has competed in some of the most grueling athletic events, and even earned his Million Miler status with American Airlines just last year. His perspective on life is quite fascinating, which is why he's the perfect guest for the 15th episode. Did I mention we're also former college teammates? Enjoy!
