A polarizing episode of Husky Talk with a truly special UConn Track alumni, Dr. Trisha Bailey. She is an inspiration to all of us, who turned a small medical supplies business into a juggernaut that operates through 7 states. Her net worth is astounding, Dr. Bailey is a successful entrepreneur, performed extremely well working on Wall Street, her memoir is a very emotional read titled: Unbroken "The Triumphant Story Of A Womans Journey."
This show was produced by Kelly Greene, who is a LMHC and did a spectacular job helping me prepare to interview Dr. Bailey. Her research and input was instrumental, I am grateful, as well as thank her for being there for me.
Dr. Baily grew up in Jamica, her grandmother had an incredible impact on her life from an early age. I saw her face glowing as she told the story of her grandmother walking several miles just to make sure the family had food to feed not only them, but the everyone in that area. Afterwards, Dr. Bailey's grandmother would drink broth or whatever was left because she made sure nobody went unfed.
I am not going to begin to try to share Dr. Bailey's journey. You can listen to her journey from moving to the United States at age 13, attending Weaver High in Hartford before coming to UConn on a track scholarship.
Life after graduation, she started out working in different careers, while overcoming obstacles, adversity, and trauma. Dr. Bailey started her first business in 2011 which distributed medical supplies to Medicare patients. She stressed being kind to people always, giving back and not needing to be a millionaire to do so. Dr. Bailey is spiritual and believes we can all help by donating money or our time to those in need. A true philanthropist, who donates to UConn, along with many other charities, she is an amazing person, and I thank her for sitting down for Husky Talk!

The best sports show in Worcester, MA is back on 97.9 FM Unity Radio, executive producer Ernie Floyd, Moneyline. Featuring Dave Schuman, the Voice of REASON Frank Cristiano, and hosted by Steve Cully.

We talk about the week in sports, we cover the NFL and College Football. Dave talks about the QB play in the NFL, especially the rookie quarterbacks, being mediocre overall. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen are on a different level than the rest of the league.

Frank mentions Caleb Williams with the Bears and how well he has been playing. The weapons his team has surrounded him with and someone like Carolina never gave QB Bryce Young any weapons.

Dave and I mention how if a team can play in 2 tight end sets or use a fullback, they will gash NFL teams running the ball because they don't have the personnel to match up. We go over the plight of the Cowboys and dominance of the entire NFC North Division.

Forty Second Brewrey is a proud sponsor of Moneyline. Steve Darby is a friend and owner, they are located in Kingston, MA. With a variety of pilsners, IPAs, and Lagers, they also have a beautiful tasting room.

Geremy Davis is our guest on Husky Talk. A dynamic, talented, big Wide Receiver for UConn and playmaker. A pleasure to interview him, just an awesome dude. He is a big guy at 6'2 and had tremendous speed. Geremy played well at UConn, which led to him becoming a 6th round draft pick for the NY Jets and a career in the NFL.

Husky Talk returns with the power of former UConn Football Defensive Lineman Ron Gamble. A fascinating story from playing a one season of youth football, which turned out to be a nightmare, Ron was a big boy and at 10 years old was playing with 12- to 13-year-old kids who knocked him around. Not a fun experience.
Ron played at a smaller school at Maryland and was the starting Running Back while the best athlete on the team played QB. He and his father went to a company with all his game film, where Ron sat for hours picking out his best plays to put together a VHS highlight tape. Very time consuming and hard, they sent out 20 tapes. Ron shares a funny story of a school actually sending his film back with a note.
He was offered by the UConn Huskies and Howard University. His official visit to Howard was.....well..... Ill let him tell you what happened. At UConn, his visit was great, and he committed on the spot to play fullback.
As we all know, life tends to throw you lemons, and we know not to make lemonade, we take two oranges and chuck them back at life. Because of injuries, Ron was moved to Defensive End, where he never played before. A steep learning curve, Ron fought through and did his best being on the field as a true Freshmen.
However, after that year, Ron became a dominant force on the Defensive Line. Putting on weight, grinding it out lifting, he turned into a beast. From his sophomore year on, Ron kicked ass and took names. He was a senior when I was a freshman and I was terrified to look at him. Ron threw me around like a sack of shit. He had a great career and majored in Communications.
Now, he is in law enforcement, working as a school resource officer and coaches high school football, along with having 4 kids. His 13-year-old is a talent, plays football and Ron will be coaching him. I probably said 5 words to Ron when I was a freshman. Loved talking with him, a very nice and funny dude, we wish him the best.
UConn Football is on a roll because Mike Burton and his team have been raising money for Bleeding Blue For Good our NIL collective. We have to step up and donate because every dollar count. It's not all about the huge donations. We need more UConn Alumni to be involved. Donate $200 or $500 dollars, as long as more people can give, we will have continued success. Mike was kind enough to have Kelly Greene and I sit in his suite for the Temple game. I witnessed how much we have improved and the outstanding talent that we brought in. Mike had laid the foundation for us to back where we belong as a great program. Please go to www.bleedingblueforgood.org and give whatever you can.

A weekend at UConn with the beautiful girl in my life that I may, or may not be seeing, Kelly Greene on Husky Talk. We did not have my podcast equipment and recorded over the phone. Kelly has been a true blessing to me and has always been there. I am not easy to deal with and she hasn't given up on me yet. I can only hope to continue trying to become a better person so I will be able to definitively say she IS the girl I am SEEING!
Procyon Partners is our, longest tenured sponsor of Husky Talk. They are one of the top 50 fastest growing companies in the nation. President Sean Rabinowitz is a great friend and advisor to me.
Kelly shares the story of our trip from start to finish. I don't want to give anything away, but it is a great listen. She wanted to thank Courtney Williams for driving us, and helping, as I was not prepared to tailgate. I didn't want to pack a cooler and figured how hard could it be to pick up some food before the game near the stadium? A big miscalculation on my part.
Then she met a host of people, starting with the ageless beauty Beverly Sims, far from being 80 years young. Tyler King was next and he could have a reality TV show. Terry McClowry and his family came. His wife Margot gave baby Callan for Kelly to hold, and she loved every second. Meeting Uyi for the first time was exciting and baby Jerimyah. Of course, Dan Hernandez was able to share stories from our time living on the same floor at the dorm in Hilltop.
Mike Burton, CJ Hessel and their families were the best, everyone was kind, welcoming, happy to see us. Kelly had a blast with CJ's daughters, showing them pictures of our dogs, drawing signs together.
Halftime, we went to see Terry and Kelly was greeted by Jerimyah again in a funny story. Loved seeing Chris Bellamy with his family, he has wonderful daughters.
Phil Hunt was a favorite of Kelly's, they got to talk and she was appreciative he took time to check on us, making sure we didn't need anything. She could not say more good things about Phil.
Chris Stasaitis was also at the top of the list. Being able to see him at the game, he drove after a long day of work. We were wiped after and went back to our hotel. Thankfully Kelly saw Chris Sunday and I was able to show her UConn's campus, the places I lived.
Kelly is caring, selfless, she came with me to make sure I wasn't nervous. I wanted her there to meet the guys and have the experience of a lifetime. She loved meeting my friends finally, especially seeing the children, I can't thank Mike Burton, Tiffany Dexter Burton, for having us as their guests and a memory we will share forever.
UConn Football is becoming bowl eligible. Bleeding Blue For Good, Mike and his team have been raising money for our NIL collective. We have to step up and donate. We need more of us to be involved. Donate $200 or $500 dollars, as long as the number of people donating grows, we will have continued success.

Former UConn Football star Tory Taylor joins Husky Talk. A dynamic athlete who played running back, wide receiver, and returned kicks. An explosive talent who is still in the UConn record book in several categories. Tory set the freshmen rushing record with the most yards. After moving to receiver, he slipped out of more tackles than anyone and had breakaway speed. An intricate part of the 1998 team that was the best in UConn history. Was a pleasure to have on!

On Husky Talk we have former UConn Football All Big East Linebacker Danny Lansanah who had a 9-year NFL career. An outstanding player who has been an underdog his entire life. After not being recruited for football, Coach Randy Edsall came to watch him play basketball where he dominated. UConn offered him a scholarship and he accepted.

Danny and his class were difference makers, playing on one of the top defenses in the country and UConn history. He started at Middle Linebacker, playing sideline to sideline and hit like a train. A two time All Big East selection, Danny prepared for the NFL.

From an undrafted free agent to the Green Bay Packers, to not playing for 2 years, getting picked up by the UFL, resurrecting his NFL career with the Jets and Buccaneers. An underdog his entire life, he proved himself each day and had a 9 year NFL career.

Now married with a child of his own, Danny coaches high school football and got into real estate. He owns rental properties and flips houses; his wife is a licensed relator.

Our guest on Husky Talk is one of the best Running Backs in UConn Football's History. Hartford's own Wilbur Gilliard. He was a tough, physical runner, who learned to make people miss from competing against his cousins, kill the carrier.

Recruited by several schools, Wilbur stayed in state and committed to UConn under coach Tom Jackson. Redshirting as a freshman, he played in one of the most talented backfields in UConn history with Eddie Long. Even splitting time, Wilbur is still in the record books for yards per carry, single season rushing yards, and touchdowns scored. He was the all-time leading rusher at UConn for many years.

After graduation, Wilbur sold cars and cell phones before moving to New York City where he started his own marketing company. A success on many levels, he was honored last week before the Buffalo game for being a team captain. Such a hilarious show, Wilbur is a funny guy, and I definitely look forward to meeting him.
