Bob Harris joins Jeff Mans on this week’s podcast to discuss how he got started in fantasy football. It wasn’t an easy road. He was living with his grandmother at 38 to try and make this work. No one really believed in him and he started becoming that crazy guy with deluded dreams. Bob believes the reason why this all worked out for him was that he was just too stupid to quit. He also shares his weight-loss journey and why he decided to make a change for the better and improve his health.
