Suiting Up with Paul Rabil
As a pro athlete and co-founder of the Premier Lacrosse League, Paul splits his time between the field and office. Maybe the real life Jackie Moon? Esquire referred to him as "the man some might call the greatest lacrosse player of all time" and Bloomberg calls the PLL "a new way of thinking about sports." Suiting Up is an interview style show that uncovers the moments in sport and business that ultimately change our lives. Through long-form conversation, Paul and his guests share high performance tips, ideas and inspiration. Season 3 guests include Steph Curry, Tony Hawk, Abby Wambach, Triple H, Sue Bird, Mark Cuban, Alex Rodriguez and more.
