If you ever wondered why sports are important in shaping our lives listen in to Mike Cortese’s podcasts ( Cortside ). All the skills , hard work , motivation that has made each of his guests so successful is translated into the same behaviors that have made them successful business people as well. You don’t have to be basketball nerd to find these stories both interesting and helpful.

Coach Mike keeps me captivated from start to finish. He creatively found a way to make the podcast have the feel of a game. He gets the most out of his guests by asking the right questions. The podcast has a great flow, sonically, and it is an easy listen. Looking forward to seeing this series unfold, as well as get to know more about Coach Mike. His story needs to be told and heard!

Motivational, inspirational, and entertaining ! Creative layout and music. I enjoyed hearing about Alan’s experiences and advice. Mike’s questions were interesting - perfect way to tie in the game and apply it to life. Just purchased Alan’s book seems like a great read. I would’ve never known of it until this podcast. Looking forward to episode 2 and more.
