In this episode, Jason Burke sits down with MLB All-Star Justin Turner and Kourtney Turner to talk about life outside of baseball, building businesses, investing with intention, and using your platform to create meaningful impact.

This isn’t just a conversation about sports. It’s about identity.

Justin and Kourtney share what it’s really like to move from professional athletics into entrepreneurship and investing—where success isn’t guaranteed, and learning requires humility, curiosity, and a willingness to start from zero.

They break down how they approach investing, what they look for in founders, and why authenticity is the ultimate filter when choosing partnerships. For them, it’s not just about the product—it’s about the people behind it.

We also dive into the importance of support systems, how they balance roles as partners in both business and life, and why resilience is the common thread across sports, entrepreneurship, and investing.

Beyond business, Justin and Kourtney discuss the work they’re doing through the Justin Turner Foundation, supporting children battling serious illness and homeless veterans. Their commitment to community impact highlights a bigger perspective on success—one that goes beyond financial returns.

We also touch on their podcast, Holding Kourt, and how they’re using it as a platform to share their journey and connect with others navigating similar paths.

Key topics include:
• Why identity shouldn’t be tied to one career
• Investing in people over products
• The role of authenticity in partnerships
• Building strong support systems
• Balancing business and personal relationships
• The importance of resilience in high-performance environments
• Using your platform for community impact
