1987 Mansfield alumnus Freddie Coleman is the host of ESPN's popular afternoon drive radio show. At Mansfield, Coleman earned a degree in mass communications and went on to a successful career in radio. He first joined ESPN in 2004 as co-host of Game Night, and has also hosted The Freddie Coleman Show and Freddie and Fitzsimmons.

Coleman shares memories from his early days at Mansfield and how his experiences at the small, rural university helped to shape the person he is today, while also leading him to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a radio personality.

President Hanna and Coleman talk about the importance of learning from experience and adversity and dig in to how it's possible to grow from failure without allowing it to define who you are.

Coleman also takes us on his journey from his first job in radio to where is today as host of one of ESPN's most popular radio programs.
