Not only does he play the part of a "Soccer Dad," he actually wrote a book called "Soccer Dad." David Murray, author and award-winning journalist, chats with me and an old-time friend, also a "Soccer Dad," Christian Moder. David talks about the book, his daughter Scout, and his personal discoveries, tying the game, the travels, the expectations, and the unexpected sadness when it all came to an end in story form. A truly fun conversation exploring some of the subtleties we all experience as "soccer parents," but don't really realize what is happening in real time... or at least until it's all over.

Today’s episode is a little bit different. The script has been flipped, as they say. Carson Hall, the St. Louis University High Senior, two-time state champion, lacrosse player, and all-around great kid, will be leading the conversation, interviewing me. Yes, that’s right, the guest is now the host. He came into the conversation, extremely prepared, as would be expected from a junior Bill, and we had a blast talking about the podcast. Why, where are we going with it, what’s been our favorite conversations, what is the theme that resonates the most, and some more background dirt on yours truly. What was supposed to be a simple project for school immediately felt like a great episode. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed sitting there with him. The future is bright, people, so let’s go! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
