  Speaker 1: The reason why there's twenty different podcasts is simple. In radio,

  Speaker 1: we're taught one thought per break. Why would I want
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to put football stars with y A authors or chefs.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: That's why you got to visit Arrow dot net a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: r r o e dot net. Twenty different podcasts. One
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of the favorites something our parents would say, All of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: those things that would make us go, what well it
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: started somewhere something our parents would say only on Arrow
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: dot net a ar r oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Hi erro, how you doing fantastic? How are you doing today?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you have the constantly radio voice. Oh no,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: it's not me.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I promise this is the way I really talk.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Now you said, that's see, that's what I sounded like
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: when I was coming out of college. I always say
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I sounded like mini mouse on helium and I had
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: to like work to actually have a functioning broadcast voice.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you this, this book is coming out
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: or this this project is coming out at a time
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that is so import because I'm blessed with the opportunity
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to be with a lot of high school graduates right now,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of college graduates, and then today I get
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: hit in the gut with a subject and I'm going,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: oh my god, this is the reason why I'm talking
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: with you today. And the thing was, I can't afford
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to be alive today. Who cares anymore? And I'm going,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: oh my god, Bonnie needs to get in here and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: make this happen, because you're showing us you can have
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a victory in life. You can have success, but you
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: need to know the history before we got here. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that's what I love about what you're doing with a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Champion's Edge is the fact that you're giving us the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: before before the current effect.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: It is so true, Aero, and thanks so much for
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: having me on. What I love about the Champion's Edge
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: is that we are showcasing extraordinarily successful women who were
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: sport who.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Were athletes growing up.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: And the amazing thing is most people have no idea
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: that they were athletes. So our first episode was with
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: ginger Z. Ginger Z is the first female chief meteorologist
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: at ABC. We know her as weather scientist. I would
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: wagers to say ninety percent of people had no idea
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: that ginger was a multi.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Sport athlete growing up.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: And she talks about the confidence and interestingly she was
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: a competitive cheerleader, and so the battle that she faced
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: being named most athletic in high school but getting criticized
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and having people say, oh, you're not an athlete, you're
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: a competitive cheerleader. The intestinal fortitude she needed to clap
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: back and say, no, I am has come into play
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: now as a meteorologist, because when she first made the
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: network she faced a lot of criticism.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: People would call.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Her a weather girl, and she said, no, no, you
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: wouldn't call a lawyer a law girl. I am a meteorologist.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I am a weather scientist. And so that confidence that
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: she exudes now we know comes from sports and just
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: hearing that part of her journey that most ginger Zy
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: fans don't know is what's so much fun about the
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: champion's edge.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Well, one of the things that I've discovered is that
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: is that if we even take a deeper look into,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: like what you said, the sports, I'm fascinated with how
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: many women of music played baseball, and I will bring
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that up in every single conversation, saying what was it
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: about that sport that you have incorporated into your life?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing about it. If you've done sports,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Oh we're going into a deep conversation because it really
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: is the structure and the bringing of life of something
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that is very unpredictable.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll give you two examples.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Carrie Underwood played basketball and softball, yes, and she talked
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: about one season where they didn't win a game in basketball,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and what she learned through that experience is you can
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: work really hard and not win and it's okay because
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you're still working together as a team and still growing.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And So when you look at some of the guests
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: we have on the champions Ed, every single one of
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: them has experienced failure. And I think we normalize failure
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: in this show because I think societally we're conditioned to
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: look at failure as some sort of knock on, some
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: sort of indictment on us.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And what we learn through sports.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: And what each one of our guests on the Champion's
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Edge evangelizes is that failure is not something that is bad.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: It is actually a critical point in our road towards success,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and it's up to us to process that, learn and
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: grow from it, be better from that, and then ultimately
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: succeed because of it, not in spite of it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Is that because we do you know, we know what
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: we need to do. But as much as we say
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you've got to have one thought on your mind, like
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: they always tell us in Radio, one thought per break,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it's the same thing about focus. Let's focus on one thing,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: but everybody goes failure, failure, failure, and we start creating
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: all these other stories that we're trying to write, but
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it's not reality. And you clearly say it one thing
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: when it comes to focus.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: And Jessica Mendoza, the ESPN Baseball analyst who is like
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: a two time Olympian, we talk about focus specifically, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I asked her, I said, give me two anecdotes, one
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: while you are an athlete and one as a broadcaster
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: that will really bring it all together. And she talked
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: about focus. She talks about it. I don't want to
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: give the whole story away, but she talks about how
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: paralyzed she was during her first at bat at her
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: first Olympics and how she had to navigate that and
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: then fast forward to her first time in the broadcast
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: booth doing a Major League baseball game, and how she
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: ties it together is really fascinating. And it's these anecdotes
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: and you know this earrow the things that resonate most
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: with our audiences are those personal stories, those personal anecdotes,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: and The Champion's Edge is chock full of them every
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: single weekend.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Bonnie Bernstein coming
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: up next. It's on ABC The Champion's Edge. We are
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: back with Bonnie Bernstein. Do you think that the success
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of those that did sports and then grew into other
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: things such as meteorology, are going into a sports network
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: is based on because sports will teach you how to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: talk with your eyes so that you're able to digest
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: so much more up here before you let it out here.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's really interesting. Nobody's ever asked me that.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I think it ties into body language and eye contact matter.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: How we present ourselves matters. How we show up on
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: the field also has an impact on psychology. We always
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: talk about in sports getting into somebody's head. There's also
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: an element to that in our career now as a
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: broadcaster like you are and I Am and Gingerz talks
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: about this, and Jessica Mendoza talks about this, and Kid
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Hoover from Access Hollywood, she's another person who talks about
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: and on The Champion's Edge, how we show up matters,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: and that confidence and the way we carry ourselves as
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: athletes is so translatable that in a field as competitive
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: as broadcasting, no matter what genre of that you're in,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: it is something that helps you get a leg up
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: when it's time to go out and get a job,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: because what do we know about this industry? No matter
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: how many platforms there are are, the desire to be
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: in the industry will always outway supply.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: The demand will always outways supply.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: You got to come back to this show in the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: future where I'm gonna get more than seven or eight
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: minutes with you. My god, you and I could go
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: super deep with this conversation.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we could do this for a minute.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Where can people go to find out more about everything
