Sports Motivation Podcast is a Must Listen
The Triswimcoach.com blog had a recent post “Five books and a podcast to help you this offseason” and the recommended The Sports Motivation Podcast by Olaniyi Sobomehin.
I’ve been binging on this podcast over the weekend and should be on everyone’s listening list. Olaniyi publishes two podcasts a week and his direct, practical style is captivating.
An undrafted NFL player, Olaniyi knows what he's talking about. His website is Imnotyou.com.
If you are serious about success, you need to listen.

Easy Way to Play your IPhone on Sonos
Connecting your phone or music device to your Sonos couldn't be easier. If you Sonos has a Line In connector you are all set. The Play 5 has one. All you need is a standard headphone jack cord to attach your phone to the Sonos Line-In port.
After you have your phone connected, select Line -In Under the "Select a Music Source" menu.
Within the Line-In menu select your Audio Component that should be your phone. After that you can control playback with all the normal Sonos player controls.
I use this method to quickly listen to podcasts on my IPhone. This is also a quick way to hook up a friend's phone to your Sonos system. You can listen to music this way as well, but it is much easier to load all your music into your Sonos system. I hope this helps.
