This week Jim Reid and the RECing Crew interview the man himself, the original founder of RecPoker, Steve Fredlund! Steve has lots to share, including details from his new book, creating a life as a keynote speaker, disc golf, poker, how to find happiness in life, and more. He also tells us some stories about how he started RecPoker – and even talks about why he decided to leave a few years ago. Regular listeners will want to hear this episode!
We also play Stake/Study Stack with John Somsky, Rob Washam, and Taylor Maas and we Close The Action with our speed round! Plus we give away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat. Join us LIVE on YouTube next Monday at 7:30 ET for free to ask our guests questions in real-time, and you can win too!
