They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.
I disagree. I think if you love what you do, you’ll never work harder on anything else, and that’s why you’ll be successful at what you love.

Happy to be home and grateful to do this everyday. 🙏

Hearing #Isles also made a big change on the broadcast side:

Longtime radio voices Chris King and @GregPickerHere were let go. Team may not have a radio broadcast going forward.

No two people more devoted to the team than Kinger and Greg.
