The Bottom Line by Ben Rogers is a podcast that links lessons learned from sports, business, and life and is designed to encourage you to get off the bench and go strive for excellence. There is no magic pill to success, there is no finish line – but there is a process. The goal of this podcast is to highlight stories from the “front line”: from small business owners, coaches, and others that are currently on the path to their own definition of success, while the average competition sits on the bench.
