While in Vegas last weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting up with the legend himself, TJ Lavin, for some coffee and a quick conversation about his Challenge career. It was so much fun getting to speak with TJ, and I hope you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.
