I was part of the original team that launched Speak for Yourself: from whiteboard sessions to live tapings. This wasn’t just plugging into a format; we built the format. I helped shape the tone, structure, and visual identity of the show, working hand-in-hand with Colin Cowherd, Jason Whitlock, and the executive team to craft something bold, opinionated, and distinct from anything else on daytime sports TV.

We developed segment ideas, set the creative direction, and tackled the not-so-small task of figuring out how two of the most outspoken personalities in sports could coexist—and thrive—on the same set. Getting it on the air was a massive lift, and one I’m proud to have helped steer from Day 0.
