1. How not being able to play baseball for the first time having Tommy John surgery led to valuable perspective that benefited him within and beyond the game

2. How Jeff’s blog to help his grandma keep up to date on his pro ball career led to an offseason internship and the importance of building relationships

4. The importance of understanding being young in business compared to being an older baseball prospect when exiting the game
