Making Your Passion Your Work with MLB GM Thad Levine

New episode is at the plate, and this one can hit for power. We are joined by the very great Thad Levine (no relation to Dave) — long-time MLB front office executive and, most recently, the General Manager of the Minnesota Twins. Thad is a brilliant, funny, insightful dude — very different from your humble co-hosts, who lack these qualities. We discuss Thad’s path to the dream job, the role of analytics in modern sports (including basketball), the importance of being a “people” person in a GM role, and the art of basking in rejection letters. Thad is a master storyteller and a cool guy. We also start the episode with some Dave and Duffy hoops banter and Marin stuff. Don’t fret. Thanks to our sponsors — in particular West End Nursery (the new kid on the RunTMC block). Enjoy the episode. It’s good. Happy New Year! Thanks as always to — The Hub, Batiste Rhum, and Nike Camps at San Domenico.
