Do You.: How to Bet on Yourself by Being Yourself

ESPN and NFL Network’s Good Morning Football host and two-time Emmy winner Kyle Brandt shares the entertaining adventures of his life, peppered with no-nonsense lessons on finding, earning, and maintaining your dream career while living the full life you want.

If ever there was an award for the most atypical path leading to an established career in the media, Kyle Brandt would win it. A high school jock with a love for Quentin Tarantino and grunge music, Kyle somehow found his way to Princeton where he was a running back for the football team who moonlighted in the theater program. Then he was picked by MTV's The Real World, and as Kyle would tell you, if you remember him from Real World: Chicago, you probably don’t like him. But he parlayed that odd brand of notoriety into soap opera stardom with three years on Days of Our Lives. Then he got down to business.

What he really wanted to do is talk and write about sports and pop culture. In 2007, his blog caught the attention of sports radio legend Jim Rome who hired Kyle as a producer. That eventually led Kyle to the NFL Network where he has hosted their morning show for the last ten years as one of the funniest, most energetic, pop-culture-savvy commentators in sports. And now he gets to do a little bit of everything, podcasting with Bill Simmons, hosting reality competition shows, interviewing everyone from Josh Allen to Bono, and prioritizing his wife and two children.

Do You. tells that story, but all while lacing it with life lessons (and so many movie references) that will encourage readers to find their own twisted path to whatever ignites their passion.
