In episode 13, Brian continues his conversation with his college friend for over 40 years, Heather Mitchell, who played on George Washington's Women's Basketball team while he played on the men's team.

Heather is a trailblazing producer, creative director, and lifelong storyteller whose career has spanned iconic sports networks and international stages.

Born on September 3, 1964, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Heather moved to Fairfield at age 11 and later graduated from Roger Ludlowe High School.

Heather began her media journey as an intern at WRC-TV for The George Michael Sports Machine. She eventually landed at Major League Baseball Productions, where she spent 16 years working from logger to senior producer. Highlights of her MLB career include:

· A one-on-one interview with President Bill Clinton

· Producing and editing a Jackie Robinson documentary that premiered at the Apollo Theater

· Serving as Producer/Editor for This Week In Baseball with Mel Allen

· On-location producing and editing for multiple World Series Films

For the past 22 years, Heather has served as a Creative Director at WWE. Her work has taken her around the globe, producing projects in China, Iraq, Rwanda, Australia, and beyond. She directed Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on various locations for the network special Once In A Lifetime and co-directed and edited Women's Evolution, a documentary tracing the powerful history of women in WWE. She also directed WWE Champion Kofi Kingston in the Ghana-based documentary Year of Return.

Heather is currently working on telling the story of her grandparents who were married for over 80 years.
