Joining me on the final episode of season five is my good friend Ben Garrett. Ben covers Ole Miss athletics with the OMSpirt under On3! Born in New Albany, Mississippi I dove into a journey of Ben's life that you've probably never heard before.

Take your shoes off, get comfortable, and come uncover who the man behind the screen really is. A Ole Miss alum, Ben has covered Ole Miss for more than 20 years, and has plenty of incredible stories to share. Behind the Ole Miss side, lays a father, friend, and man of God. Breaking down mental portion of Ben was really important to me to do, and that's exactly what I did. I pray you enjoy every second of this episode, and comment what your favorite part of the episode was!
