Ep. 30 Reggie "Mr. October" Jackson, MLB Hall of Fame Inductee Talks About His Entrepreneurship Beginnings

Reggie Jackson aka "Mr. October," Major League Baseball Hall of
Fame Inductee, shares intimate stories for the very first time,
during an in-person interview to JinJa Birkenbeuel, The Honest
Field Guide, about his journey from childhood, to a New York
Yankee, to becoming the first professional ball player turned
entrepreneur while he was still playing ball, back in the 70s,
during a tumultuous time of extreme racial hatred. Reggie, the
businessman, passionately tells us how he is still fighting to
ensure Black people and in particular Black and brown children,
through his Mr. October Foundation, gain access to the millions
of opportunities in technology fields in the USA.
