Josh Suchon ('96) is the founder and former host of the "Where Ya At?" podcast. Josh has interviewed 75 outstanding professionals in the realm of various communications fields and has inspired students to achieve their goals through his creations.

In the first episode with new host Rami Alarian, Josh recounts his experience at SDSU, which led him on the pathway toward voice acting, sportswriting, radio work, play-by-play announcing and writing a novel.

Josh talks about his experience using his voice for work and his time branching away from sports journalism as an author of the true crime book, "Murder in Pleasanton: Tina Faelz and the Search for Justice."

Josh is not only a sportswriter and play-by-play announcer turned author and podcast host. He is also someone who has left a lasting impact on students and alumni alike at SDSU.

Thank you so much Josh Suchon.

Tom Fletcher (1991-95) was just named the Senior Vice President of Partnerships for the Houston Rockets, after six years with the Phoenix Suns in business development and nine years with the Portland Trail Blazers in sponsorship.

Without knowing it at the time, Fletcher' sales career began as a student-athlete who hosted potential future Aztecs on the football team. He explains why his LinkedIn makes no mention of his time in the NFL, what prepared him for life after his football career ended, why he thinks basketball has the ideal number of games for entertaining clients, and how close he came to a career as a police officer.

Hear directly from one of the NBA's top business minds on building relationships with athletes and clients, the power of sports to bring people together, and the impact of an old fashioned, hand-written message.
