    With all of the NIL & Transfer Portal talk going on, I thought it made sense to bring on someone who's at the center of the conversation - Aaron Nagao. Nagao just finished an amazing redshirt freshmen season at Minnesota that saw him make the NCAA tournament & All-American his first year.

Fitting enough for an episode on Easter, we also discuss his bold faith's role in everything just mentioned.

From the death of his father and an Olympic boycott costing him a shot at his dream to even ending up in a jail cell, Lee has had so many life lessons and it's great to learn from how he overcame and persevered.
