Our listeners are most likely already familiar with the life of a traveling athlete, and today we broaden this picture as we welcome NBA player and German national team member Moe Wagner to the podcast! Moe has a fascinating and unique story, having been born in Berlin, moving to the US for college, and building a promising career after graduating college.
