Show notes

In episode 26, Kevin chats with Mina Kimes, NFL analyst at ESPN and host of "The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny." Kimes can be seen on NFL Live and a variety of ESPN shows offering her NFL expertise, but her start in journalism was in the business world, not sports. A blog post she wrote about how she and her dad bonded over the Seattle Seahawks caught the eye of an ESPN editor a decade ago, which led to her opportunity. First a profiles writer for ESPN, now Kimes is everywhere, and her path is as unique as it comes. Hear how Mina Kimes broke in.
