Danielle Lerner LOVES Tacos. She is an aficionado when it comes to food. Her main love of storytelling has allowed her to tell amazing stories about athletes and teams we see every day. Sports Enterprise allows her to tell unique stories that go beyond X's and O's

In this episode, Danielle and I talk about her love for Tacos, why she loves fostering dogs and of course, sports media.
